More mice in the house!!!

 There are three more mice in the house!!  I'm delighted to have had so many mice adopted!!

One of the Baseboard Mice is happily living in a preschool classroom.  And I'm pretty sure he is delighted with all his new friends.

Today, I'd like you to meet Toby, Willow and Sadie!  They are all adoptable today!

We're still here!!

Does the lack of a blog post for well over two years count as "sporadic" blogging?  Having read many marketing tips, I know that in order to keep followers interested I should be blogging on a regular basis.  Perhaps once a week.  Maybe twice.  For sure, more than once every two years or so.  At this point, with more than two years since my last post, I may have lost all of my followers!  

Well, I'm still here.  And so are the mice!  And I hope at least a few followers are here, too.  After painting 75 baseboard mice, I took a long break.  But I found I was missing my little creations. And there was that stack of mouse holes in my studio, patiently waiting for mice.  So I picked up my brushes and now there are 80 baseboard mice!  And only 5 without homes.  (thank you so very much to all of you who have "adopted" a baseboard mouse!)

One of the new mice is called Violet.  She's quite pretty.  And she loves gardens.  Fairy gardens are her favorite.  They make her feel bigger.  And purple is her favorite color, of course!  

Violet

If you think you just might like to give Violet a good home, you'll find her over on the baseboard mouse website.  Here's a link....    https://baseboardmice.com/mice.html

Thanks for stopping by!!  And I hope to see you again much sooner than more than two years from now.

There's a New Mouse In the House!!

Painting mice has taken a backseat to other paintings - and several road trips this past summer.  Last week, though, I did get an urge to paint another mouse.  So, I put the painting that was on my easel aside for a little bit and replaced it with a wee mouse hole.  And before too long, a little mouse was peering out at me from the hole.  

Today, he is ready for adoption.  But I didn't have a name for him yet.  Sometimes names come while I'm painting and sometimes I have to search the internet for the "right" name.  I even keep a list of possible names.  Some of my friends have even emailed names they like!  Those get added to the list of "possibles", too.  Today, though, it was different.  I was working on another painting and turned to pick up more paint with my brush when my eye caught the little mouse staring back at me.  (there's a row of paintings along the wall right behind my painting table)  I did the most logical thing and asked "What's your name?".  Now you just might think I'm a bit crazy, and I swear I didn't see his little mouth move, and I didn't hear a little mouse voice, but a name immediately popped into my head.  Loud.  Right there, no doubt. Wilbur. He's Wilbur.

Wilbur - a Baseboard Mouse

Wilbur comes from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  I think perhaps he hitched a ride back with us from our trip there in September.  He likes to consider himself a "Yooper".  That's what the folks who live in the Upper Peninsula call themselves.  Wilbur loves pasties - a favorite food of the area.  He also loves snow and building snowmice. 

The mice's website has been down again recently.  It's up again now, though, and with any luck it will stay that way.  (Long "technical" story - if you're interested in it, just send me an email and I'll explain.)  If you haven't been to the website to see the mice available for "adoption" recently - or if you tried and couldn't get there - here's a link.....  baseboardmice.com   (They make great stocking stuffers!)

Thanks for stopping by!!

The mice are back!!

The mice have been on vacation at the beach for the past few weeks and this morning when I arrived in my studio I was delighted to find that not only have they returned, but they brought a new friend with them!!

This is Rosa.  She is a Santa Rosa Beach Mouse.  The sand in Santa Rosa Beach is very white and Rosa's coat is nearly the same.  It helps her to blend in when she is playing in the dunes.

Rosa loves Florida and the beach and the Gulf waves.  

Rosa

If you would like to "adopt" Rosa, just head over to the mice's website.  


Maybe Rosa is not the only friend the mice brought back with them.  Hmm..... I'll have to keep an eye out for more new little friends!

Stella - a new Mouse in the House!!

Summer is upon us once again.  The gardens are filled with a rainbow of color with day lilies and coneflowers and brown-eyed susans.  A pair of Carolina Wrens are building a nest just outside the kitchen window and their songs wake us in the morning and entertain us the entire day.  Such a beautiful time of year.

Today I am pleased to introduce you to Stella - the latest in my Baseboard Mice series.  Stella has a fondness for country music and barbecue.  She comes from “Music City” Nashville where she enjoys Saturday nights at the Grand Ole Opry.

Stella

Stella - and the other "adoptable" baseboard mice still available - can be found on their very own website - www.baseboardmice.com.  It's hard to believe, but Stella is #70 in my series and there are only about 10 mice left to be "adopted"!  Looks like I need to get busy creating more mice!  

Thanks so much to all of you who have "adopted" mice and supported my art!!

And thanks for stopping by....
