Psssssssssssssssst...
Hey, You!
Yes, YOU!
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
And be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a mouse?
A mouse is an animal who sleeps in the wall...
He's quick, though he's really very small...
He loves his family...
And he loves his cheese...
He loves to go hiking...
And he aims to please...
So if you spend your time reading to your spouse...
You may grow up to be a mouse!
And you can live with the Magpies in their house!
NOT!
Well, maybe, if you're one of these "pretend" mice, you could live with us, but ONLY if you are pretend. :-)
I wish I could take credit for these enchanting creatures and the photographs of them, but they all belong to an ETSY seller from South America and are used WITH PERMISSION here on my blog.
Johana is from Chile, has enjoyed felting for 23 years (since the age of SEVEN), and owns the ETSY Shop, FELTING DREAMS.
And Johana does, indeed, create dreams with these cuter than cute little needlefelt darlings!
This is what the best of ETSY is all about, bringing artists from around the world into our very own living rooms where we can enjoy their art.
Are these not the cutest mice ever??? They have personality plus, and I just LOVE them!
Do yourself a favor and visit Johana's ETSY Shop FELTING DREAMS and check out all of her adorable creations. There are bunnies amongst the mice, too.
I tried to link this post the way I used to, but Blogger wouldn't let me. So if you will, please click on the following link or put it in your browser to visit FELTING DREAMS:

Every time I see these, I come away smiling!
Johana, artists like you make everyone have a brighter day. Thank you (Muchas Gracias) for allowing me to share your talents with others. I marvel at your creativity!
Now, I'm joining Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage for A Favorite Thing Saturday. Please link over from my sidebar to Mockingbird Hill Cottage, and it should take you there!
XO,
Mrs. Magpie (Sheila)
Please Note: I was not compensated in any way for featuring Johana and her creations. I did this for the sheer pleasure of sharing these happy little mice and this talented artist with you. Also note that all the images are the sole property of FELTING DREAMS and should be treated accordingly. Thanks. and I hope you enjoyed reading this review as much as I enjoyed preparing it for you!
My thanks to Johnny Burke, lyricist for "Swinging On A Star," and my sincere apologies to him for adding my own lyrics to his otherwise perfect hit song, which happens to be a childhood favorite of mine. Oh, and Johnny, just for the record, I didn't grow up to be a mule despite my intense dislike of first grade. Your song, which my mother made me memorize, managed to do the trick. ;-)
