Desperately seeking mouse

Chelsea’s Mouse

Years ago I bought this little knit mouse when Martha Stewart had her website.  We’ve had it for years and it’s become Chelsea’s very favorite dog toy.  She adores this mouse and every time someone comes to visit she runs to grab it and show it off.  She carries it around with her, watches over it in her bed and generally treats it like her baby.

So you know what’s coming…the mouse is missing.  We’ve looked everywhere, under beds, furniture, in the couches and chairs…we just can’t find it.  I’m afraid it may have been sucked up in the vacuum by accident.  I’m sending out a plea…does anyone know where I can get another mouse similar to this one?  If you see any when you’re out and about please let me know.  It’s a simple knitted mouse that’s stuffed and just the right size for her to carry around.

Now when someone stops by, she doesn’t know what to grab to show them.  It’s sad to watch!  I’ve done Google searches for “knitted mouse” and the only thing I can find are directions to knit my own.  I haven’t knitted in years so that’s not an option.  If one of you happen to know how to knit I’d be happy to trade a block of the month pattern for a mouse.  HELP!

    OMG Chelsea is so, so cute. We have a gorgeus ragdoll cat named Celia and a rescue cocker spaniel, Baxter. We live in Fairfax, VA right outside of Washington DC.
    Thanks for the nice giveaway!

    I have a couple of spare knitted mice I’d be happy to send to Chelsea if you can let me know her mailing address? With my menagerie I know how you feel when they lose their favorites!

    Hi Anne- I guess we’re sorta neighbors- I live in Burlingame, near the SF airport. Your picture of Discovery Bay is gorgeous – I’ve heard of your community, but haven’t visited there. Chelsea and her mouse remind me of my 3 felines who carry around fish that I made for them and included a little catnip inside. Your little “candy” treats would make a great doll quilt for my niece’s little girl who will be 3 next month. Thanks for the chance to win some fun fabric-I love the colors.
