New Items at The Calico Mouse

I’ve added some new Christmas angel designs to my Etsy shop. My biggest seller is the Sparkling Lace Angel Tree Topper.

This angel takes more than 9 hours to create! Machine stitched with almost 270,000 stitches. The organza she is stitched on has flecks of silver the catch the light and sparkle. It’s hard to capture with the camera.

I try to keep her in stock, and I’m working now to increase my supply on hand. I sell at least 20 of these each year. If you are interested, order early!
