A new and exciting time for Created By Mouse!
Spring is in the air and fashion is at its best!


How did I come up with the name?
Well, I once wanted to be a 'roadie' - yes, go on tour with a band and slug gear! I got a part time gig at a local bar/small concert venue in my hometown of Burlington, Ontario.  In the first band I worked for, one of guys the permanent crew gave me the nickname “Mouse”. And it stuck! Whenever the band come to back into town or Toronto, and I wanted to see them, all I had to say was “Mouse is in the house” and I was in the venue for free.
When I wanted to start this business, I wasn't sure what to name it and how it could relate to sewing  Then I remebered the mice who sewed Cinderella's dress in the Disney Movie.
Created By Mouse was born!

I was born and raised in Burlington, Ontario, until 2015 my husband and I sold our house and then moved here to Ridgeway, Ontario. It's been a long journey settling in to a new town after over 50 years in one city. 

I am ready to get the ball rolling and I cannot wait to see what I can create for you!

Anita
a.k.a. Mouse
