The Desert Bus for Hope 5 Craft-Along – bonus post

needle felted mice (or rats)

This week, I have a story for you. It starts with a scritching noise in the wall behind my desk. Then come scrabbling, scampering and skittering sounds. I call the landlord, he sets a trap, we catch a mouse and that’s that. Until I see a mouse scurry across the kitchen floor about a week […]
