Mouse in the house

Here's hoping that I have discovered my inner muse...or perhaps I should say mouse?  I really would like to try and blog regularly and about crafty things that I care about.  So, here goes.  I decided that today was the day.  I am going to be crafty for me and no one else.  I love to make stuff, see my creations come to life, get hot glue on my fingers (a little creepy, I know) .  

Why should a doorstop just be a doorstop?  Ugly and clear, or worse yet, uglier and brown.  Yucky.  So, I busted out the leftover wool, and covered my door stopper with it.  In fact, I turned it into a mouse.  Now, I know we generally don't invite mice into our homes, but I thought this was a cute little mouse complete with whiskers and a sparkly tail.  And he is not going to get into my food.  Or leave little surprises in the pantry. 

Give it a go, it is super easy.  

1.  Find a door stop

2.  Gather some left over fabric

3.  Hot glue fabric to stopper

4.  Wa-la you are done and your plain, old, boring door stop is now spruced up!
