Mice Tales by Barbara Ana Designs is a whimsical counted cross stitch pattern filled with charming storybook details and cozy folk-art characters. The design is arranged in three connected scenes featuring playful mice, a cuckoo clock, a birdcage, flowers, leafy branches, and small decorative motifs, all framed by an ornamental border. Warm golden tones, soft teal, earthy browns, grays, and creamy neutrals give the piece a gentle vintage feel that works beautifully for year-round stitching and display.
The design measures 199 × 101 stitches and is shown stitched on 40-count Winter Woolens by Seraphim Fabric. It uses DMC embroidery floss in a warm, muted palette with backstitching for added definition and detail. The combination of small motifs, decorative borders, and three connected scenes gives the project plenty of variety while keeping the overall composition balanced and cohesive.
