Emergency Hedgehog

On Friday night I had to make an emergency hedgehog! My girls received knitted Hedgehogs from Sue at Sweet pea family over two years ago and little M lost hers after taking it to school last week. 


She tried the detachment theory saying she didn't care about it anyway which she often does (sometimes about us!) but by bedtime she was really sad. She was crying quiet tears, avoiding her bedtime story which was called Lulu and the hedgehog unfortunately and wanted a hug. 

We went on Ravelry together and chose a pattern to try. And so it was I spent Friday night making a little hedgehog. She put out an egg box for me to put it in so that if she woke in the night she would see it. By 9:00am the next morning she had furnished it with bottle tops, a bedding area and food.

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do! Jo x

    Oh so sweet. I'll tell you a secret: my 15 year old still takes his puppy to nights away (usually stashed away at the bottom of a sleeping bag). I bet the little hedgehog will be travelling to many places for many years, or just be there at home for those times a cuddle is needed. xx
