Roly poly PIG

Meet Madam Pig.



And her six wee piglets.



They are preparing themselves to go to the county fair.



Where they will charm the judges...



And delight the  masses...



With their roly poly antics.

I <heart> them!

The pattern is from LiEr at Ikatbag.

    Hello there! Thanks for inviting me to come see your new Family Oink. They turned out really cute! And I loved that the pattern was your birthday present to yourself. I should buy those kinds of presents for myself, instead of dumb stuff like hair irons and knife blocks and nutella. Good luck at the fair, piggies!

    So cute... adorable. I came here from Gingerbread Snowflakes and I am so happy you won the book since I can see you doing some amazing things with it. I wonder if you can put round small magnets in their noses and on the side of mamma so they could really attach to her. Maybe not... they are absolutely wonderful just the way they are. I bet they will win the first price at the state fair ;)

    The piglets do attach to Mama Pig with pink velcro (I ordered it from Seattle Fabrics). Magnets could work too, but they might be a choking hazard should they become dislodged from the piglets snouts. I really don't know what to expect at the fair, but I'm just a nerd and want to enter my pigs in the fair just like people do with their real pigs. Tee hee!

    I can't believe I won that giveaway from Gingerbread Snowflakes! I'm so excited to make some cute, cute things for Christmas this year!

    I think these are adorable and my daughter would love it for her upcoming birthday. Can you please post a link or send me the pattern to my email because I want to send the pattern to my mom so she could make it in time for my daughters birthday. Thanks

Fall SWAP progress

I finally have some progress to report on my Ottobre SWAP.  There are actually six garments finished, but I only have pictures of four of them so far. You can see that the brown Maya blouse is lacking buttons. I didn't have anything suitable in my stash, so I'll "have" to go find some at JoAnn's.  I'm thinking something to match the medium pink in the trim, but we'll see. I almost never buy buttons...I usually always make do with what I have on hand. The cream Maya blouse is made of a vintage pillowcase I picked up at Goodwill a while back ($0.50).  It carries that oh-so-fresh smell that I love on my pillows and is super soft. I have a bit left that I'm going to hoard until just the right project comes up. I'm delighted with how dressy the little skirt came out! It's made of chocolate brown stretch velvet.  Miss M thought it was great fun to pet it like a kitten. Modeled by the lovely Miss M...and just before naptime (what was I thi

12-gore denim skirt

The other evening I drafted a pattern for a 12-gore skirt following the instructions found here .  The next day I cut gores from worn out pairs of jeans!  Now I have a gorgeous denim gored skirt. I used 1 1/2-inch wide elastic in the waist and designed it to sit on my hips rather than my true waist.  I’m so short waisted that if I wore bottoms at my actual waist…well, it wouldn’t be pretty!  I plan to reuse some of the original belt loops so I can wear a belt with it…let’s just say that a toddler and an elastic-waist skirt are a recipe for disaster! You can see a few places where I removed pockets before cutting my gores – adds character, don’t you think?  And a skirt without a pocket is simply ill-conceived, so I reused a pocket from one of Hubby’s pairs of jeans.  Now I can carry my cell phone when I run errands!

Cocoa Krispie Sod House: a model you can eat

Ahh! I just realized I haven't blogged our Adventures in U.S. History since Week 26!!  What happened?!  We've just been plugging away contentedly at our work and are nearing the end of our school year.  So, while I go get myself sorted and whip up the rest of our weekly reviews for you, I thought you might like to see our latest project. A Cocoa Krispie Sod House Ingredients: 6 tablespoons butter 6 cups miniature marshmallows 9 cups cocoa krispies 3/4 cup fancy shredded coconut ("fancy" looks more like grass, but any shredded coconut will work) green food coloring extra butter or cooking spray Also needed: large sauce pan (or large microwave safe bowl) wooden spoon jelly roll pan or cookie sheet waxed paper small glass bowl fork knife clean scrap of cardboard popsicle sticks kitchen shears Directions: Melt butter in a large sauce pan over low heat.
