"I saw a mouse,
Where?
There on the stair
Where on the stair?
Right there.
A little mouse with clogs on
Well, I declare
Going clip, clippity clop on the stair..."
Ok, so he doesn't have clogs on and he is only a prototype, but you get the idea!
Lyrics from 'A Windmill in Old Amsterdam' by Ronnie Hilton, 1965 which is one of my favourite childhood songs along with Mungo Jerry's 'Pushbike song' and Flanders & Swann's Hippopotamus Song "mud, mud, glorious mud..." Ah, memories!!
Cute Cute Cute Cute Cute!!! - I Love the little pink tail and the ears -

I wish he would put his cloggs on and come to my house.
Posted by: nicci kirkham | March 07, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Do you have any cloggs there you could give him Julie?
Posted by: nicci kirkham | March 07, 2008 at 10:16 AM
Totally gorgeous.... maybe bigger ears and some whiskers? Just a thought from a toy mouse we have but he's actually perfect as he is already!

I love that song too- my dad used to sing it to us and now i sing it to my boys!
great mouse- I like his tail.

Hee hee too cute! I love those songs too. And your stairs are identical to mine (only cleaner). Bloomin sun shows up all the dirt. Humph.
Posted by: Ali | March 07, 2008 at 11:27 AM
I love that song, in fact I have the single upstairs! No record player to play it on but as I've had it for about 35 years I don't need to play it to know how it goes!
Love the mouse.

Awww, he's gorgeous! (I loved all those songs too). x
Posted by: Kitty | March 07, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Now I know why this song sounds familiar;-) We know this song in Dutch. My mother did sing this song a lot.
Posted by: Martine | March 07, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Now you're just teasing us! Perfect proportions, now how about a black cocker spaniel? Just a thought :0)
Posted by: jill | March 07, 2008 at 12:17 PM
some whiskers might be nice. but he is already awfully cute.
Posted by: sophia | March 07, 2008 at 12:42 PM

Now I am not usually a fan of mice but in this case I will make an exception. He is so sweet. PLEASE can you sell the patterns?
I would love to buy one but I just don't seem to be fast enough on the old computer keyboard. I am better with knitting needles!
Posted by: Debbie | March 08, 2008 at 12:53 PM
I have been playing this morning with my lovely little cotton rabbit family stamps...

Take a look at what I have been doing.
I love the little mouse too.

I wanted to comment on your mouse last night, but I'd had some (lots of) wine and all I could come up with was "Oh!".
So here I am this morning, all refreshed and clear headed and ready to comment ....
OH WOW!!!
