Mrs. Tittlemouse's Collection of Household Tips and Tutorials ~ Beatrix Potter Series

"Once upon a time there was a wood-mouse, and her name was Mrs. Tittlemouse. She lived in a bank under a hedge. Such a funny house! There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge...

There was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder. Also, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little box bed! Mrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse..."

~ The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse by Beatrix Potter

You can only image the adoration I have towards Thomasina (Mrs. Tittlemouse for those who don't know her). She and I love so many similar things! From maintaining storerooms, cellars, a pantry and a larder to being a tidy, home-loving mouse!  As spring has once again announced her arrival, I will begin our "Fun Friday" series once more. As I had written in my introduction of our Beatrix Potter Inspired Posts, perhaps I do this series each season "because there is so much disturbing things going on today and it can be therapeutic to ponder and dwell on the "good things" (Philippians 4:8). In any case, I think homemaking can be fun and this little series celebrates that!

The first year in the series began with an ode to Peter Rabbit and the second season was inspired by my favorite Mrs. Tiggy-winkle. Last spring we showcased posts by dear Thomasina Tittlemouse and I have included a round-up below of what was shared. This spring we will focus on the story "The Tale of the Pie and the Patty Pan". I do hope these whimsical posts bring joy to your homemaking day!

For extra fun, we also shared a printable cover page and matching tabs in case you wanted to prepare a copy of "Mrs. Tittlemouse's Manual of Household Hints and Delights". This is simply a safe place you can store all of the Beatrix Potter inspired homemaking printables. You could think of it as a "printable portfolio" collection to store all your favorite printables until you are ready to use them. You will find the free download HERE if you are interested. The cover page is designed to slide into the front of the binder as a title page insert. The tabs are best printed on card stock, affixed with glue to card stock and staggered as you attach them.

As I mentioned before, some of the projects we share can also be done together with the children to encourage reading! Bring out the Beatrix Potter books and then prepare some of these useful items for a fun household-crafting day. These would also make nice gifts tucked away in baskets for spring!
