Sew a Felt Christmas Mouse

November 12, 2014 By Lauren at Molly and Mama 60 Comments

In the big hot land Down Under, we don’t get to really enjoy the beauty of a white Christmas (or even a green Christmas come to think of it!). It’s hot, and dry, and characterised by seafood, salads, swimming and sun! But that doesn’t mean we don’t often dream of a snowy Christmas, snuggled up by […]

Looking back on the year that was, is a great way Looking back on the year that was, is a great way to think about what I want 2021 to look like. Here are some of my most popular images from the past year and embroidery seems to be a common theme in all of them. Would you like to see more designs like this in the coming months? 

I'd love to hear your thoughts about patterns and projects you'd like me to design, or techniques you'd like to learn, revisit, or practice.

How has your first day of the year been? My mornin How has your first day of the year been? My morning was spent getting organised. I’m such a planner fan and this was the best way to get all my ideas down on paper for the coming year.  I’m so excited about what is in store! I hope you’re having a fabulous day 🥳

🌸 THANK YOU 🌸 It’s hard to believe that t 🌸 THANK YOU 🌸

It’s hard to believe that the time has come to close the door on what has been a challenging year for most. But through it all, the community of makers, creators and encouragers that we have built here, have been such a source of inspiration. So as I say goodbye to 2020, I’d like to acknowledge you for your comments, your purchases, your tags and your questions. Thank you for supporting Molly and Mama. Thank you for helping me find my tribe of like minded makers. Thanks for your advice, your tips and your suggestions. 

It is my hope that Molly and Mama has encouraged some of you to try new sewing projects, to help build your skills and to help keep traditional sewing techniques relevant and thriving! I think our grandmothers and great grandmothers would be proud. 

Wishing you and your families a new year that is filled with hope, with love and with a new appreciation for the little things in life, as they really mean the most. Happy New Year! Love Lauren 💗
