My daughter was going through a "mouse" phase, so I decided to make her a special mouse toy to sit on her dressing table. I made it up as I went along, starting with the body, then adding the head, the arms and legs and finally the tail. It worked really well so I decided to make another, this time out of fantastic green spotty fabric. I named the green mouse "Maddison".
I was stoked that Maddison was purchased to be used as a prop on Shortland Street! (new Zealand soap opera). Now, you have to look closely, but every now and then you will see my little Maddison in the characters Tania and Maia's apartment. Maddison is one of Maia's sons toys. While I was stitching the little mouse, I would never have expected that a few months later I would be watching her on tv!

How cool that you made Maddison up as you went along (how Igo about making things most times too.) Very cool that someone else loved her enough to put her on show. What exhileration.
