Here are two orange mice looking for a place to stay over the winter. For some reason, they don't approve of Dsytona and I don't think it has anything to do with Daytona's fascination with the ironing board.
I am showing these mice as my contribution to the
Rainbow Scrappy Challenge because I pulled out orange fabric to make bunnies for this week and then realized that I had made orange bunnies two weeks ago. So here are mice instead. They were made as part of a
three part tutorial I presented back in June.
The orange mice shown above are a simplified version of the mice I made for last year's Rainbow Scrappy Challenge. The revised mice do not have curves or fused eyes and nose.
Meanwhile here's Daytona showing off his secret tabby stripes. On first impression, he appears to be a black cat, but when the sunlight hits him, it turns out that he has tabby markings like his brother. Daytona is supposed to be writing his essay for his Forever Home Application so his adopters will know what a terrible existence he is being rescued from: he only gets to eat whenever he wants, an evil woman is constantly putting goop into his eye, and sometimes there are whole minutes that go by when he doesn't get the attention he deserves.

Daytona is beautiful and you are right...he should get going on those Forever home application. What a terrible existence for any cat! :)
His eye sure has been looking better lately. If I lived nearby, I'd adopt that little guy in a heartbeat (he is so cute!!) But I'm sure the bosses (Alfie and Darla) might have something to say about that!
Love the mice, but be sure the keep them away from that cat. He looks pretty happy to me.
LOL, I had a huge 22 lb Siamese mix who had all the markings of a Siam beauty and sported a tabby stripped tail! Mean as all get out, that cat was. And to think I rescued him from certain death and saved his leg from being amputated. He still bit me regularly with the three fangs he had left. gosh, I miss him.
Best of luck finding Daytona a FOREVER home! I think your mice are hoping he finds it SOON!!!
Love your mice blocks. Hope Daytona finds a forever home really soon. He's a handsome little fellow.
I love your revised mice and the fabrics used! Daytona and his secret tabby stripes - just beautiful and I do hope he finds a very good home. I'm sure you'll miss him!
uh oh, I sense a non sequitor in my reply to PaulaB... I wanted an orange batik to show up, but if you have an orange batik CAT to send... as for a marmalade kitten I might enjoy that a lot but Cole would not be amused... poodles are opinionated. LeeAnna
Those mice look like they can give Daytona a run for his money. Maybe they could be instructors for a military training camp for him.
I love Daytona's secret stripes. Almost as much as I love orange mice! (/muffled squee, here)
I think you need to piece Daytona's avatar into the quilt with the rainbow mice!
Those mice are soooooo cute. I love reading your posts each week!
