Birth of a mouse

I worked tonite on assembling the strongman for the mice circus set. He went together quite well. He needs a nose and mouth and his barbell set. He also needs a better place to pose in. I have all of the pieces for the ringmaster knitted so he's up for finishing next. Then I think a clown or acrobat. There should be some girls in this circus.

The mouse is about 6 inches tall and fits comfortably in your hand ready to play with. The instructions call for gluing the barbell to his hands, put I'm thinking of just making it a separate piece, maybe just stitched in place. He'd get tired holding it above his head all the time.
