Day 29: Eye of Newt Domino Necklace by Kim R!

Welcome to Day 29 of DominoART's 
annual 31 Days of Halloween Scarefest 
and blog hop presented by Smeared Ink!

EEEEkkkkk!  Only 2 more sleeps 'til Halloween...and now I'm not actually sure if I'm going to go to sleep!  Boy do I have a story to share, skip this next paragraph if you have an aversion to MICE!

I woke up in the early hours yesterday morning to something TICKLING me and discovered a tiny MOUSE was CUDDLING with me IN MY BED!!!!!  It really was very cute and quite tame coz when I sat bolt upright and turned on the light it was still sitting there by my pillow checking me out!  I seriously couldn't believe my eyes!  It never moved when I shot out of bed and it snuggled against my pillow while I stood there pondering my options and when I returned from the bathroom with a container it had followed me and was sitting at the bottom of the bed studying me quite happily.  It then hopped and scampered around my bed a bit while I tried to catch it but I prevailed!  Hubby was away....so there's me holding a trapped mouse wondering what to do with it...I then went outside in my pjs and bare feet and walked about 20 yards up the road in the dark and let mousie go in the bushes with a stern warning not to return.  If he does I'm keeping him coz he was so darn cute and I shall name him Crumpet!

  2. OMG! I would have DIED! Jezebel brings mice in to play, but fortunately never on the bed. Now Goliath's catches are far less fortunate. EEEWWW!!!! Fabulous necklace by Kim. Gorgeous eye and I love the font and fibers. xxD

  3. Love the necklace today! That's quite a story about the mouse--I'm afraid I would have screamed like a little girl! Fortunately, with 5 cats in the house, I don't really have to worry about live mice finding their way in, although the kitties do bring in dead ones from time to time.

  4. As cute as Grumpet is, I would not want to wake up next to it ... It might be very dead Grumpet and very stressed Sari after that. Necklace is fabulous, love the font and the edges, brilliant piece.

  6. Wonder if Crumpet could be a pet that got loose from his home. they don't usually hang around people. Many years ago (more than I want to think) my father woke up with one in the bed with him but it ran as soon as he moved. He did catch it. I think he let it loose too. Don't know if it came back - hope Crumpet finds his way home or finds a new home. Love the eye.
