The last tenant in the Chateau

Pleased to meet you,  my name is Mitzi..

The room is lovely,  thank you for holding it for me.. I will have my bags sent right away..

If you would like to come up I will light the way for you... 

 It is a bit dark in the Chateau.. One can never have enough candles.. No?

Well Ladies,   Jeri of Hopalong Hollow mentioned that it may be a bit dark in the Chateau, 

So I asked  Mitzi  if she would bring a candle  along... She was more than happy to do so.

Thank you Jeri!  Great idea.

A French Chateau

Needle felted for

for Gabrielle

with love

Bonjour!  My name is Gabrielle

  Please allow me to show you around the Chateau.

While in Paris,  I came upon a beautiful black boot..  So very soft, it must be made of wool.  It was just standing there on the cobblestone sidewalk.  Not a human in sight.    Not many mice would have thought to turn a boot into a French Chateau, but I did...  

A little work here, a little window there... Awnings to put up, turquoise and black stripes, this would be nice, don't you think?

This little fellow in the window is Jock..  He will be assisting me in the remodel..  He is quite handy indeed... Being very tiny, he is fast as can be..  Did a nice job installing new rivets, and has completed the windows..  Marvelous work, no?  Now I ask you, what mouse come to work in a jacket and tie?

 Wait,  I will ask him to come down.

There you are Jock!  Please say hello to everyone...

 Then I am afraid we must get back to work. 

I must say

 I love you poke a dot tie....

Bonjour ... Tellement agréable de vous rencontrer.

Jock, please stay inside and finish the upstairs... I will stand down here and see if I can find another tiny tourist to secure the last room in the chateau..

Merci  !

Hello dear friends.

I feel like I have been away forever..  I am looking forward to visiting everyone.. I have missed you all.

I hope you enjoyed viewing..  I started  this boot Chateau about a month ago...Although it was quite a challenge, I really enjoyed creating it.  Needle felted in sections, then I attached the pieces.

The boot is hollow down to the bottom window, then it becomes solid.. I did not have a plan,  I just started felting... The inside at the very top is lined with black felt.  The awnings are also needle felted.. The rivets are metal, the boot laces are cording.

Measurements:   Boot  9 1/2" tall 

           Gabrielle      3"  tall

                Jock               2 1/2" tall

I hope you will stop in to see the completion... I need one more mouse, and must do some refinement on the Chateau.. 

Thank you so much for your visit.

blessings,

Penny

               

Please meet Finn

Good morning dear friends...  I would like to introduce you to Finn, the wee Fox.   I have been working on two more pieces for the past few weeks, an hope to complete them soon.. I have learned to put my work down for a few hours  then pick it up again... This way it saves my wrist and fingers.  It is difficult to stop when you are enjoying, but it is needed.  Otherwise my wrist would be out of commission for a few weeks.

I hope you enjoy little Finn....  He was such fun to create...  He measures 3 1/4" tall in his seated position.. He is now available on ebay.

Wishing you all a beautiful week... Looks like it may rain here today, but back up in the 80's in a few days.. I am enjoying the cool while we have it... Even the 80's is ok...  I know it will top 100 soon enough..   Thank you  so much for visiting today..
