Baking Mice

14 ct, stitched over 1

Bring this imaginative piece to life in stitches - it'll add a touch of instant personality to any home! There are some designs that would raise a smile with anyone, and this jolly spectacle is one of them. Bursting with cuteness and humour, it's packed with lots of quirky details that'll be a real treat to stitch. Each mouse is busily engaged in what looks like a baking extravaganza... well, apart from the sleepy little one dozing on the 'a' of 'bake' of course! You'll use a colour palette of 19 thread shades to recreate this scene, on crisp white aida. It's not densely stitched, so you'll make progress fairly quickly - and it's amazing to think that all of the mice and baking motifs are individually shaped without any fractionals at all. Plus, we love the funky, stylised font that designer Durene has created - and the backstitch adds a lovely sense of definition to the piece. Once you've finished, display it in your kitchen or, if you can bear to part with it, gift it to a baking-mad friend. This playful design is sure to brighten anyone's day!
