Mouse knew just where to get the softest bedding for her babies
Sometimes it is really used having a tail! Specially when the ripest berries are just out of reach, or if you just fancy a swing!
Hurrah it is Wednesday and the weasels are dancing Today they are doing that thing to Basement Jaxx Such a joyful tune & a reminder to do your thing This is the week I celebrate not going back to teaching but going to my shed to do my thing. Dance like a weasel you know you want to #weaselwednesday
Every Tuesday Old Shrew pops by to visit Mouse and they swap books they’ve been reading.
Sometimes the only thing to do is lie back in the heather and look at the clouds. First little creature made ready for Great Northern Contemporary Craft fair in October. I’ve got a lot to do! Come and see us Srand B23 PoolB 16-18th Oct #gnccf #gnccfmcr26
I used to teach ancient history and tried writing cuneiform. This is just wonderful
Damon Young@damonyoung.com.au · 2w agoThis Finnish guy has been teaching himself Sumerian, and sent a cuneiform tablet to the British Museum to check his progress. They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post. I'm now thrilled and excited for a total stranger! Clay tablet mail! www.reddit.com/r/Cuneiform/...
Mouse felt the first brush of autumn whispers on her whiskers. She hurried home to put a new circle of rowan berries on the door and to start knitting a shawl. She must remember to tell the bats in the belfry too. The early autumn collection of creatures launches tomorrow 5th Sept 8pm !
I sold no books in August! Bloody hell! Anyone want to make my day? You could get all your Yule pressies sorted and then scoff cake for 3 months! Big ones for adults (&kids) who love nature and folklore, little ones for kids(&adults) perfect bedtime stories www.celestineandthehare.com/books
Hurran it is Wednesday and the weasels are dancing! A bit of Bauhaus for the bats to join in today. Dance like a weasel you know you want to #weaselwednesday

The zebra mice are on an international foreign exchange programme going to school with the school mice for a few weeks. They are a little nervous but hoping to learn a lot about different sorts of British cake. (They’ll be in the new collection Saturday 5th Sept)
Mouse school starts today! Today’s lesson is finding the best blackberry bushes. Don’t be late on your first day little ones! (They’ll be in the new collection 5th Sept and can tell you what they’ve learned)
Hurrah it is Wednesday and the weasels are dancing. We were going to do some goth bats, but after the news last night, it had to be Dolly. The weasels are Dancing for Dolly, with love and gratitude. Dance like a weasel you know you want to #weaselwednesday
There will be a collection of velvet winged Batties (and some non flying mice too) Saturday 5th Sept 8pm. I put little coloured pipe cleaner collars on them like you get on puppies, so you can tell who is who, but they’re removable. Needle felted with stitched velvet wings so strokeable!
‘Ere you, black flappy pointy nosed thing! Yeah you! if you’re just a hanging about upside down doing nuffin, can you pop up there and nab that choklit for me please? That Celestine forgot I ain’t got wings and put it too far up and I don’t want to disturb em while they’re busy. Ta!”

Bert found some new friends on his travels. He’s hoping to bring a few home with him for the August collection. They have velvet wings!

Sometimes you can see the Heather rustling when out walking. It is usually just a little mouse off home for their tea.
