The Future of Mouse House Creations

3 years ago, I opened my etsy shop Mouse House Creations on a whim.   Several people had been asking me to do it… so I did.  Within days, I started getting order after order.  I couldn’t believe it!  People really wanted to buy the things I make???

Since then, I have created well over 1,000 items for people between my etsy shop and my facebook page…. and if you are good at math, you will figure out that I have never been without an order on my to-do list.  

Tonight, I just finished my last custom order.

Yes, my last one.

This is bittersweet for me, but also very much needed.   While I love love love creating and sending out those lovely little packages, I need to go in a different direction and I hope you will understand.   It is time for me to switch gears.

The shop and facebook page will still be open, of course.

What am I working on?
Patterns…. lots and lots of patterns. 
*for women and kids*
perhaps there will be a few clothing sample sales mixed in?

I think this is going to be good.


I appreciate all of you for sticking around, supporting me, and just being awesome.   Thank you.
