My sister gave me my favorite Christmas Gift this year!
Check out the intricate work and detail on these mice; the camera lens is a button and if you turn it around there’s an LCD viewfinder with a little mouse in it!  Their creator, Monique Cagle is so talented; you can read her Mice stories on her “Sleepy Cat Studio” Facebook page.
Journaling reads:
Christmas morning I investigated a noise at the front door and found a wrapped box bouncing around.  I went to show Judi who said, “Well, you should look in your stocking."   Apparently, we’d had the same idea in exchanging our gifts!  
It all started in Indiana in October when I was finally able to visit ”Sleepy Cat Studio".  Monique Cagle is an enormously talented artist who creates in multiple media, including hand sewing the most adorably exquisite little mice, each with their own story.  I bought Judi “Lynda”, a Hippie guitar-playing mouse complete with tote bag, fringed vest and headband.  Judi commissioned a mouse for me saying I liked purple, taking photos, summertime heat and flip-flops. Christmas morning we unwrapped our mice together and I gasped in delight to find “MerryLyn” (Merry for short) looking up at me!  She is dressed in purple and lavender shorts, tank top and hat, with the most amazing little flip-flops.  Her camera and a tote bag with a slice of cheese sticking out, hangs from her neck.  I was enthralled and immediately the mice became Sisters and toured the area.  You can see some of the sights they saw while together!
