76 MOUSELOFT Mouseloft is pleased to introduce lots of new designs across many of its popular ranges of counted cross stitch kits. There are four new designs in the ever popular ‘Stitchlets’ range including a beautiful peacock and a playful turtle. All the designs in the range are perfect to send as cards or to mount in little ‘flexi-hoops’. New additions to the ‘Tiddlers’ range have a somewhat nautical theme with a stripey lighthouse and an overloaded Noah’s Ark.
