Happy Bertie!

Hello again! I’ve become somewhat of a multi-crafter!

I had fun making this cross stitch for my mum’s birthday this year – it’s so cute! 😊 She loves it!

Bertie is the wee hedgehog who visits our garden – we found him at death’s door, but our local hedgehog rescue saved him! Since recovering his strength and returning to us, he likes snuffling about and popping into ‘Bertie’s Bistro’ for the tasty hedgehog food we leave for him! 🦔

Since Bertie is very special to our family, this pattern was the perfect choice for my mum’s birthday (and a great opportunity for a pun)! 😃 I added the cupcake for the occasion and tweaked the pattern a little, to look more like Bertie. Very pleased with how it turned out! ❤️
