Miss Mouse is mending. Oh dear, has she pricked her finger?  But no worries, her fabric is red.  She has all of her sewing supplies stored in her Victorian sewing basket that she's able to move around easily from room to room in the Yellow Mouse House.

This basket was made because my daughter believed in me. I wasn't so sure it would be possible, but I did it and the lid even opens!

Constructing it took several days. I used floral wire, linen cord, paint and glue. The above picture is of the early stages. I based Miss Mouses basket on a photo of a real Victorian Basket

Isn't that "real" basket just beautiful.

Miss Mouses sewing basket stands about 4 inches tall. Once I had everything assembled, I painted the entire basket with several thin coats of white paint to give it a painted wicker look.  Thanks for visiting!
