Baby hedgehog in a basket

I love making these little hedgehogs.  They are so much fun.   Wasn't sure on what to do with this one ... turning it into just a pincushion or not?  I then remembered I had purchased some small baskets a while back that he possibly could fit in and voila ... he did.  Or she did ... I guess you can take your pick, he or she ... doesn't matter it's still a cutie.  Now just putting him in only the basket just didn't look right, he needed something else so I crocheted a lining for the basket which can be easily removed and used as a little pouch to put him in and you could close it off with pulling on the ribbon.  You could also replace the ribbon with another colored ribbon if you want to use this in a nursery and match the decor.  It would be cute as a decoration and then later when baby gets older he or she can play with it.  It's certainly a OOAK item either for a child, a child's room or somebody who sews like a seamstress, a quilter or anybody who enjoys a little critter companion!   He/she is up in my BitsOfFiber shop so click on this link to get more info on him/her.

More things to come

I've been working on all kinds of things these last couple of weeks keeping my mom company. Today I have to start working on 4 figurines that need Powertex. Three tired little girls and one violin player. I will be using the Powertex Lead for all of them. If you are interested in finding out more about Powertex here is the link to it : http://www.powertex.be/ There are so many options on what all you can do with it. Personally I like making art dolls and figurines with it but I have also used it for making jewelry. I'll be adding pictures of the figurines later this week.

I have knitted three baby hats so far. Needle felted two hedgehogs which can be used as pincushions or just for decoration and also a Christmas mouse. I haven't had the chance to take photos of these but will do so in the next couple of days so come back and visit again soon.

Needle felted mom and baby hedgehog

I had made one of these last year and it sold so I thought I'd better make another one, this time I included a baby! They make really cute pin cushions or if you feel bad for poking them (hehe) you can have them just sitting around looking cute. They look really cute in a baby room so those of you looking for a unique baby shower gift this is it! As a matter of fact any of my felted animals would make a cute baby room decor. The baby hedgehog will easily fit into your pocket so if you want a pocket size conversation item he will be happy to be carried around. I do not recommend them to be purchased as toys for babies. Older kids should be fine.

I just listed them in my PurplePlatypus etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/listing/65442343/needle-felted-hedgehog-mother-and-baby so go and have a closer look!
