Pic's Of My Wittle Mouse.

17 years ago

My son whittled me a mouse and is so cute. He's more of a woodworker (makes furniture for a hobby) and sculpter (another hobby)

He first made a model out of clay, before carving it in the wood... He called me last night and asked if I wanted blue coveralls on him...Having not seen it, I said no... Of course, now I want the blue coveralls. He said it was too late! I have another clock we made in 2006, that I want a frog crawling up the clock with it's legs hanging down, and his head and front legs coming over the top... His wife said, OH NO!... All he did all week was walk around the house carving the mouse in all the rooms -- dropping wood shavings all over the place.... Plus he gets up 5 O'clock to work on it ! (I can't believe how much like me he is!)

The whiskers are fishing line..the tail is a shoe lace that curls cause he put a wire in the center of the shoe lace...

staight on shot...

I turned his head and he took a bite out of the cheese. :)

This is the clock, that we made (also in 2006) that I want a frog crawling over the top...

I have a collection of many frogs, so you see, I really need that frog! :)))

I would loose the lamb for the frog!

Oh my gosh, that is the cutest, sweetest little mouse! Every time I look at him I smile all over again. Your son is very talented. He gave that mouse personality plus. It is so endearing.

Why is it that your mouse is so darn cute and the one I found in my bathtub yesterday wasn't??

Glad we haven't moved in yet.

Your son is not only talented, but sweet and loving as well!!

Thank you Ladies :) After my son placed him in the mouse hole he said, "how did you have that clock for so long without that mouse!?!" :)))
Our 3 yo grandson (his son) named him Rabbit...

Too cute!!! And how nice that your son has such a rewarding passtime. I love it when people are creative and to give it to his mother is just extra-special! You are lucky.

Talent really runs in your family, doesn't it? The clock is just wonderful, and the mouse is darling -- and he's much more precious because your son made him. Thanks for sharing that with us. :o)
