Hedgehog Hiking Pants

Hedgehog Hiking Pants $42.50

These adorable Hedgehog hiking pants were sent to me by Emily Purdin from Hedgehog Hiker and have been road tested this wet weekend by my 2 yearold.

First she fell in love with the hedgehog print and then after that she was blissfully unaware of them actually being anything special. These pants are made with soft waterproof fabric that allows your child to stay dry on wet walks and damp days. The roll up or roll down cuffs allow you to add length to the pant leg for sitting in strollers or being carried in hiking backpacks.

Splissing in Splashing in puddles are no problem with these pants!

You can read more about the pants on the Hedgehog hiking pants website.

“Hedgehog Hiker LLC.” pants
are made using material milled in the USA, recycled fibers, and eco-
friendly print methods. 80% of the materials are purchased locally
from vendors in the Pacific Northwest.

Mason jars are fun to craft with, use for storage or even use to hold gifts like baking mixes or sugar scrubs. But you can make your jars even cuter — no matter what you’re using them for — by adding a bit of cross stitch to the lid.

This idea comes from Gathered, and while they are showing examples of Mason jars used for storage in the craft room, you can use these throughout the house. I’m also thinking you could do this as a way to fancy up a traditional Mason jar sewing kit, since there’s already a little batting under the piece of cross stitch you could still use it as a pincushion.

The post walks you through how to make a cross stitched Mason jar lids and a link to a PDF pattern that includes six design options.

They’re not totally for beginners because they include cross stitch, backstitch, eyelets and Rhodes stitch, but if you aren’t familiar with those techniques you can either leave them off or there’s a stitch diagram in the PDF to help you.

Either way these designs are cute and relatively quick to stitch in whatever colors you like. It’s easy to turn them into jar toppers, or you could even just use the Mason jar ring as a frame rather than using it on top of a jar (I did this with a little Christmas tree cross stitch pattern I turned into an ornament).

They’re super cute in the pastel colors shown, or work in red and green for more of a holiday look if you’re using them for gift giving.

Check out the instructions and grab the free patterns for these jar toppers at Gathered. Once you start stitching I’m sure you’ll come up with all sorts of things you want to store or gift in jars so that you can make more of them!
