    How clever. But I feel for your friend as I have a phobia about rodents.

    Your dolls turned out so cute. It is a good thing that your friend has a good sense of humor. I don't like live mice either.

    That is SO cute! I just love the girl, and the mouse is so small! How on earth did you sew that little thing together? The clothes you made are great! You HAVE to post a tutorial because I'm probably not the only one who wants to make one.

    OMG!!! she could have had a heart attack. I can't imagine scaring someone who has such a phopia. I don't like to be scared like that. I don't think it was funny.

    I too thought the cruel jokes played on her were not funny. I did, however, like the doll and was glad to hear she liked it too and had a sense of humor about it.

    The doll and mouse are so cute. However, it sounds as if your office mates are quite mean to this woman. She should report these incidents as harrassment and advise her supervisor or the head shed of these shennigans. This sounds so cruel to me.

    As a child my 3 older brothers tthought it was funny to put things on me, especially bugs, spiders, mice, frogs, anything that made me cringe and scream and cry. It was horrid! I learned to stop it by means they did not like, but stop it I did.

    They were actually made from a pair of my old jeans. After I sewed them together, I thought they were too small to hem so I just left them long but it really made the look. I was happy that I didn't hem them after I put them on her.

    One of the ladies in our office said the same thing. The one I made it for, now wants me to teach her how to make them.

    Awww - Thank you. I will have to see what I can do about making a tutorial. I hadn't thought about that.
    As for sewing the mouse together, it is small. It was done on the machine and by hand.
