[FO] I made a custom mousehole frame for this little mouse stitch.

When I saw this pattern by Mama Witch Cross-stitch I knew I had to stitch it. I can't remember when I decided to make a frame for it but when I did I altered the design to remove the border in the design itself. I know it's a Christmas themed stitch but I think it works well enough when it isn't Christmas. Also my french knots aren't the best as this was my first time doing them.

The frame is made of Black Walnut finished with boiled linseed oil and the hinges are brass. I broke 3 panes of glass attempting to get a circle cut for this frame but managed it in the end. I cut my finger on a shard of wood (yes I mean cut, apparently walnut is hard enough to cut skin), sawed into the same finger with a jewelers saw and got plenty of other cuts and scrapes while making this but I think the new scars were worth it.

I am aware that mouseholes traditionally are on the floor but I wouldn't see it as well down there.
