Knitted mouse looking for a home (and maybe a wardrobe 😁)

I’m on a project finishing kick and realized that I have no desire to knit its clothing. I thought I’d put it up for trade here so someone can love it. It is 100% wool and I have left the stuffing hole open at the back in case someone wants to add pipe cleaners to make it poseable. I can sew it up though if you’d prefer. I’m also happy to talk about the clothing pattern and how to scale it to fit my off gauge knitting!
Interested in finished items, especially useful things or decor or art that is natural materials. Mostly I just want to send the mouse off guilt free and be done with it 😁

ISO of sweater quantity (1200-1500 yds) of mustard colored yarn

I’d love to knit myself an ochre colored cardigan so I thought I’d put out feelers here first! Dk ish weight, not acrylic and preferably not super wash, something with good stitch definition. I’d also love it if it was tonal or kettle dyed and not perfectly solid. Thanks!

Experienced cellist looking to fix up an unknown violin

Hello! I’m a professional cellist trying to learn violin. I bought this one cheaply on marketplace. The E string peg is poorly placed and interferes with the A and D. There is no label to speak of. The bridge has a stamp but adjustable feet. The seam at the bottom front feels loose and it rattles a bit. Despite that it has a fine enough sound.

I thought I would replace the bridge and possibly tailpiece but I live in a smaller town with no good luthier for several hours drive. Is a seam repair something a decent wood worker could do or is it more complicated than glue and clamps? Is the peg box a remotely affordable fix? Just based on looking at it is it just too cruddy to justify the expense of even minor repairs? Thanks for your time!

Thanks for everyone’s advice on my previous post about how to quilt it. I have some disappointments about it but overall I think it’s fun! I scaled down the 60” pattern to be 50 inches. Pattern is “The Quest” by Quiltcore.

I fractal spun it and I’m a little worried it may be too muddy to show off the gorgeous colors! I can’t remember the exact sheep breed and she hasn’t got it listed on the website but it’s a very soft Chilean wool
