hedgehog fever!

Yes, hedgehog fever has taken over our house. Francis has now been joined by two friends, Bernard & Flower. I love how different they all turned out and how they each have a personality! (I really am starting to go crazy!) YaYa loves the hedgehogs as well, except for Bernard. She wants nothing to do with him. She thinks that his little ties are spines that are going to prick her, and she'll only pick him up by his nose, but does NOT want to play with him. Poor Bernard (don't tell: he's my favorite). But YaYa loves being tickled by Francis, and finds all kinds of places to hide her so Mommy can't find her. And all three of them love munching on the pumpkin (pictured with Bernard). But enough about their exploits...

Katie over at matsutake featured Francis in her blog today!! I feel so honored to be included in the craftiness of this amazing lady, even though my skills don't even come close to hers! Katie started the hedgehog frenzy, and I'm more than happy to jump on that bandwagon!

Before I close for the night, I've got to show you my little chickie YaYa. She had so much fun getting candy, and stayed warm in this wonderful hand-me-down costume from our friend Lisa. I just want to gobble her up!!

I introduce to you Francis the Hedgehog:

I made her tonight, inspired by the genius (yet simple enough for someone like me) pattern & tutorial at matsutake. How fun! Hubby and I sat and watched "House" for 2 hours while I dug up my needle, thread & bag of scrap lace and went to work. It's been years since I've sewn, and it really was theraputic. The only problem is that I may be a little hedgehog obsessed now.
