Finished by Friday - and a smile!!!!

I wanted a little mouse to go in the pocket of the tote bag for my latest LillyBo quilt.
So this afternoon I made one.....

 Cute!

But I knew there was a reason that I shouldn't have put an eye on the reverse side!!!!

He know looks like a very well blessed mouse!!
I used a waterproof pen to draw the eyes and nose so I guess I will have to make him a hat to make things right.

Pheasant update...
Further info on the net says the eggs may take 23 to 28 days to hatch.
So we are still waiting.
The hen pheasant popped out for a quick feed - twice today.
I see her from my kitchen window as she is grazing on the lawn.

I nipped over to her nest and took a quick photo of the 11 eggs.
Not a cracked egg in sight!!!!

Fingers crossed.
