<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Several years ago I wanted to make a doll for my daughter and the vision of a mouse just came to me. Berry Mice Creations was made atop my kitchen table with pattern, buttons and fabric covered with cookie crumbs and bits of cake I'd brush aside to put the pieces together. When the doll was finally finished I felt it needed a story, a "reason or explanation", so I wrote it:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">"Long ago and far away there was a beautiful kingdom where butterflies flew;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">The mice lived happy and free, the sun always shined over meadows and creeks;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">The days were warm, the evenings were cool, a perfect spot where berries grew.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">But there came a day when all that would change;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">A big, mean cat proclaimed his domain!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">The clouds rolled in, the rain mixed with the tears that suddenly fell.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">Gone were the flowers, gone was the mirth;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">The mice knew they must go</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">To find fresh meadows and rivers that'd flow.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">Everyone gathered at the berry patch to sadly say their good-byes;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">As they left their once happy kingdom</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">They each picked a berry to cherish forever.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">That was long ago and far away;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">The tears have dried, here we are today;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times;">Together we'll laugh and enjoy Berry Mice days!"</span></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Years went by and after many wonderful adventures, Berry Mice was forgotten under the ever growing pile that clutters my studio. That is until just the other day, when I was struck by the wish to bring them back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As I look at their silly, imperfect faces, their droopy whiskers and lop sided ears I remember when we held tea parties, gathered flowers in the garden, went for walks on the beach. I remember my little girl's sweet face, her fragile hand in mine and realize Berry Mice Creations is much more than a mouse, but a part of an absolutely magical and delightful world, the world of innocence and make-believe...</span><br />
