As I was making this adorable hedgehog dolldress set I showed it to my daughter. She asked me:" What is that animal? A porcupine?" She has never seen a hedgehog in her life. I guess hedgehogs don't live in Colorado. At least I have never seen one around. Now I am wondering if and where they live on the continent. Please, let me know if you have seen one lately. 
In Germany hedgehogs are quite common. I grew up around these cute fellers. I remember our neighbor taking one in one winter. The law said that if you found a hedgehog in fall and it wasn't fat enough(under 500 grams) to survive on his own you could take it in and keep it over the winter.
Too bad I don't have pictures of real hedgehogs. But they sure live on in my memory and imagination. I had lots of fun making the set shown in the pictures...

ReplyDeletethanks so much for your comment1
ReplyDeleteOh, those shoes. Those lovely shoes. Very sweet.
ReplyDeleteWe know a family that has a hedgehog for a pet. Hedgehogs do not give off pungent odors the way other rodents do, and that was a motivator in their obtaining "Hedgie." The first time I heard Hedgie "whiffle," I was quite startled.
Awe, I'd like to see some pictures of "Hedgie". What a fun pet he must be!
