A country mouse

A few days ago a friend of mine who recently moved to PEI posted about her curious encounters with a mouse in their home. To read her adventures, check out her blog: www.gentleislandorbust.blogspot.com  In any case, it reminded me of a mouse story Gilles told me one night when he came home after a long day on the construction site with Chulita. I posted the following as a comment on her blog and I thought I should share it with you as well:

'Ah, the story of the country mouse. Gilles, too, has had a few encounters. The best by far was when he was on his way to the construction site with Chulita in tow in the front seat. As they began their drive, a mouse pooped out of the hood ad near the windshield. All chaos ensued from that point forward. Gilles tried to turn on the windshield wipers to shoo away he little fella while Chulita was going bananas. She tried to jump through the windshield and began losing it altogether. The little guy did not want to go away and hung on for dear life. Finally, Gilles pulled over to the side of the road to give the mouse his freedom. Chulita has never looked out the windshield the same. She seems convinced that there is a mouse hiding and waiting to taunt her.'

In honour of these furry creatures, I found a cute Christmas ornament tutorial and will be getting to work on making a whole family of these for our future trees. Danica, I will send you yours, just email me you address. 
Hope you enjoy!
