Big Ears!!

Last month I celebrated the 20th anniversary of my 29th birthday and received some wonderful gifts from my friends and family. I seem to have started yet another collection of these big eared mice people! I already had two, a Santa mouse and a red and white cheerleader and dear son and husband got me two more for my birthday!

This one is a orange and blue cheerleader.

And I'm thinking that this may be Mrs. Santa. I love her little glasses! I also got this really cool "Big Boy" doll bank. He was the mascot of the Big Boy restaurants that we used to have when I was growing up. I love a Big Boy burger! And technically, no he does not have big ears.

But this guy does have big ears!Check out this elf/pixie cup or vase or whatever it is! Everyone except me thinks he hideous! I love him. On the bottom it says Aunt Rose, 1948. I think Aunt Rose and I have very good taste. The dog beside him has pretty big ears too. He is part of a salt and pepper set that used to come in bags of Ken-L-Ration dog food.

I have been doing alot of crafting and sewing and haven't gotten around to photographing it all but I want to show you a doll that I dressed and I totally stole my idea from Magpie Ethel, so I give her all the credit for this. (although hers in MUCH better than mine!) and she will not be sold or given away. She is for my personal enjoyment only!

I found the Kewpie doll a couple of weeks ago at the thrift store and with a little paper, fabric and trim, she has become my valentine baby! Don't kewpies have the sweetest faces ever??

We are getting ready for round 3 of snow this week! We had 18" a couple of weeks before Christmas, another 12" last Friday and Saturday, and they are calling for even more this Friday! I am sooooo ready for spring!

Have a great day!
