I'm up far too late for someone who's been sick for almost 2 weeks. I think the copious amounts of sleep over the last few days is throwing off my entire sleep cycle. Don't worry, I'll take some tylenol pm and off to sleep i'll go.
i just wanted to let you all know some more little creatures have mde their way into the shop tonight. Sleep well!
I actually updated the Etsy shop last week, but due to my runny nose I haven't actually posted an updated blog post yet. I guess now is the time for that.
Here's what's up so far:
flower pin
poppy pins (well, I guess they're hair clips really.)
pig potholders 
cork message boards
...and there will be more to come!

There are new little lovelies in the shop. Spring cleaning and sunny motivation has hit us hard so expect more to come all month.

This is it, another craft show! Come to the Handmade Bazaar! Me and Trina will have a booth there for DoorMouse Designs and we'll be selling all kinds of neat stuff! I realize it's a really busy time of year, but if you get a chance you should come down and see us.
See you there,

Oh my, I haven't been blogging lately. I've got a lot of lost ground to cover.
Here's my latest endeavor, hand-painted cork message boards. We'll be selling the cute little guys at our next craft fair, planned for this September. More on that later, but for now, back to work.

"Hair Mice, like head lice, but nice!"
Finally! We've got a couple of Mair Hice... I mean Hair Mice posted on Etsy! I know I said, "Coming soon!" but with me coming soon my take quite awhile.
Today, I've posted Miss. Posie and
Mr. Edgar.
Posie is a darling little creature who's favorite place to be is nestled in you hair. But she wouldn't mind being clipped on a bag or sweater. She also likes hiding in drawers and sleeping in big piles of silk scarfs. 
Edgar is a kind little guy who loves to hide in messy hair. He also enjoys sneaking into the kitchen for a midnight snack of sharp cheddar cheese. 
You need to be careful not to use hair spray while wearing your hair mouse... they don't like that very much. And you also need to be aware that once you own one, you may need to own another. They are social little critters and like to be with other hair mice friends. 
Posie is made with yellow floral polka-dot fabric, purple rosebud fabric, and grey yarn and felt.
Edgar is made with teal geometric fabric, brick-red felt, and brownish yarn. They're both about 2.5" long.
They're looking for a good homes, so buy one today.

Poor little DoorMouse blog! We've left you alone for much too long.
So, here's a new post for you.
Here's my latest little work. The frame is the one I bought last week at Good Will. Then I spray painted it black, and made this collage to live inside. It incorporates some of my favorite things: silhouettes, clocks, paintings in paintings, birds, and animals in fine clothes. I just love paintings and pictures of clocks. It's always the same time, in that little land, and I'm always curious why the artist picked that particular time as opposed to another time. 
I cut my silhouettes from this old book, which I salvaged from the Oregon City School sale. Had I not bought it, it would have been sent to the dump. It's a 1925 reader to help children learn to read out loud. And I was able to build a very pretty collage from all the various little silhouettes inside.

So i did something this week that for me is brave, I entered 3 (well 4 if you count Bruno and Sylvie seperately) of my little felt creatures in the 2nd Annual Softie Awards. The entries can all be found here on flickr. I entered little Allison, cuties Bruno and Sylvie, and the precious Harriette. And the other day on the Softies Central blog Harriette was featured! :) I'm so proud of her for being so brave. Entries have ended so now i wait to see if any have made it to the final 5 of their category. :)
