Week Two: Not a Creature Was Stirring

For my second week's piece I found this cute little mouse in a teacup and immediately thought of my sister who loves both mice (as a child at least!) and tea (as an adult). I plan on sending it to her for Christmas 2009. "Not a Creature Was Stirring" was published in the December 2008 issue of Just Cross Stitch and was designed by Casey Buonaugurio. I stitched it on 36 count Sage Jobelan and used a tiny black Mill Hill bead for the mouse's eye and red beads for the holly berries.
