So sorely tempted by this pattern!

Tempting, LRavenscroft, but TBH I’ve got too much ‘stuff’ already, inc. a lot of dds’ old soft toys, kept for the Gdcs when visiting.,
I know I’d get a great deal of satisfaction out of making them, but it’d be even nicer to think of them ending up with someone who’d really love them.

I know what you mean. I love crocheting blanket projects but all members of the family have one now so I make blankets as hugs for different charities. For me the pleasure is in making them. As the others posters have said, perhaps children elsewhere would treasure them. They really are cute!

I've just started the Sweet Blossom blanket LRavenscroft - hope I'm up to it as I've never done anything as ambitious before!

Ooh! Sounds lovely. I'll check it out. Thanks. Enjoy!

Just spent a happy hour procrastinating sorting out my yarn! 😀

I've just searched my patterns, and see I have this one. I'd forgotten I had it, but might have a go at it after I finish the numerous jumpers I'm working on.

It's on Ravelry and is called Bunny in a Dotty Dress

I just downloaded this - 17 pages! - as someone suggested, I’ll donate it to the food bank for Christmas, with a note to say the stuffing is safety compliant. I don’t have the recommended yarns and won’t be buying any more, but there’s plenty of the right colours of DK in my vast stash.

That was for Doodledog.

I love that pattern. ☺
I have made lots of the animals from that same series of patterns - bunnies, fox, elephant (but no mice yet) - and they have gone down really well with my dgc even though, like yours, they already have far too many soft toys. By the time their faces are finished, each one very much has its own unique personality.

If you really don't want to give yours to your dgc, your idea of maybe donating it to the school raffle sounds a great idea.

I think they're adorable OP, they really are. I'm another with too much stuff. If I get flattened by a bus tomorrow my family will have a right job sorting though my spare room which is like a tip.

There is a charity who ask for Shoe Boxes to be filled with a range of items. The children's contents can include small toys. Your mice are perfect. These boxes are wrapped in Christmas paper and sent to families in need in other parts of the world.
I can imagine the joy on a child's face at discovering their little mouse gift.
