To Make Up - Use a permanent black marker pen to draw 'holes' all over the cheese as illustrated.  Then construct the cheese wedge by oversewing all the seams on the outside - I also included oversewing the vertical lines created by the change in stitch.  This allows the knitting to form a better overall shape. Starting at the nose and with right side out, oversew the row ends of the mouse, leave a small gap at the tail end.  Insert a tiny bit of stuffing, then continue to oversew the seam. Cut two small ears in pink felt and sew them in place with cotton. Work a tiny nose and eyes with black cotton. Use the long tail end to create a 3" twisted cord for the tail, use the rest of this yarn to sew the mouse to the cheese wedge.  I found it easier to place the cheese on the bottle before stitching the mouse on. Allow a smile to creep across your face as you marvel at your creation!
