In Honor Of Sticker

So as promised I had another post in honor of our new baby hedgehog Sticker, it's a really cool recipe I found. Its called Hedgehog Slice.I'v never tried it but it looks sooo good! The Duke of Cambridge likes it so much he requested it as his grooms cake (well they call it a Chocolate Biscuit Cake). I've seen a couple ingredients differ from recipe to recipe even a really pretty eggless version which for me, will be the one that I'm going to try! I have issues with eggs anyway I mean I know they have there place in our food chain/menu/etc and especially baking, but ewww ewww ewww yuk eggs are gross especially uncooked ones. This forum discusses the egg less issue a bit more and about halfway down the page there is even a caramel version. If you are a visual person and want to watch a really enthusiastic Australian dude cook check out this you tube video for his version.
So happy cooking all!

Introduction

I thought it would be great to coincide my first post on my mostly craft centered blog with the announcement of my new furry (well maybe not so furry) friend! 
(Yeah they have absolutely nothing to do with each other which further goes to prove that I have appropriately named my blog)  I absolutely love this little guy but first a little history.

For the most part I’m a horse girl at heart but after spending the last 14 years without one it has left that place in my heart feeling somewhat empty. I did finally get a dog about 5 years ago. She was a birthday gift  from my sister (just because she refused to let me convince myself to remain pet-less) not too long after that I got a squalling little kitten (thanks again to my sister who again refused to let me remain a single pet owner...do you all see a pattern here). Well the puppy grew up and had puppies (fun times) but sadly not too long after I had to say goodbye to the mom but I still had one puppy which pretty much brings us up to the present. The puppy is now kind of a grumpy old man that will find Oreo's no matter where I try to hide them and about 6 months ago my son found a stray well really a "dumped off" puppy that followed him everywhere. I just couldn’t say no to that sweet face, so we now have one inside dog and one outside dog (wow did that puppy grow really big in 6 months)

Ok so, like I said it has NOTHING to do with crafts or “yarning”as my son likes to call it 

but hey so what and so without further ado let me introduce my newest friend..... 

                                                    Sticker

He is a 9 week old  African Pygmy Hedgehog . He is sooo much fun and I'm absolutely crazy excited to have him. 

His color is actually salt and pepper but his color pattern is described as a pinto

 (ha love the horse reference there's a Tobiano color pattern too!)

 Just cause he's so cute here is a couple more pictures of him sleeping he's spoiled already 

 and oh so tiny

Tomorrow I will have another post in honor of my new friend Sticker and then maybe I can get on with the whole crafting part of this blog.
