The kids did not want to stop playing, I am afraid, for the first official family pic. They are all of them lovely, though and I hope they will like the house when I come home with it!

A basket of blackberries
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglQYOMgu7XnSZJUVCqRd4-n7DpPIe7qd5j5r2jYT0m1djA8_zuABD3sZfT1CpCNiaWlKpbGTFpHu3zYs-MOCyd6fk_lrTnRp6fqafuqvu_F8F-GxtDoKiprWbqJLESvBil5ntiZfeeWuV9/s160/floor+feb+2011.jpg)
BUT I want to have the things that grow naturally in at least 1/12th , slightly bigger if possible.No halfscale carrots or potatoes for me. So today I attempted making blackberries in a basket ( the basket kit is by Barb Lewis, bought from Debbie) ; the blackberries are mustard seeds, painted and glazed with nailpolish.Usually mustard seeds have the right dimensions for 1/12 grapes, but I need the contrast here, I think they will do nicely
The basket handle, though, was too big for little mice, so I had to make some small handles on the side , so that two can shlepp the loot !

February 2011: Update
On the Big B... of a Rugger! Well, I have finished the first 6 pages of the chart by now( of course, I have stitched more than that, as most of the motives of the borders have been stitched already, and these take a page in width and height , too).
Still, finally it is possible to see that I HAVE been stitching, at all.....

Kristy sent me these pics of mamma and pappa mouse . Mamma wil probably be hanging around in the kitchen ( I am planning to give her LOADS to cook and bake, of course), pappa has decided to find out how to attach a bell to a cat- any cat.
As soon as I have got my house , I will probably stitcha rug by Anne Ritter, a design of little abstract cats. If I use autumn-clors, they will loook as if they are leaves- until one looks closer, that is!
Since I am not a real quilter and silk ribbons sound really a bit overdone for a woodland-house, I will probably stitch a little "quilt"on their beds , too. When I have time, that is ( sigh...)
