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!

    [...] like a special ops guy (he’d like that description) through the displays and straight to Madam Pig.  Before I knew it, he was back at my side. “Second,” he [...]

    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

MFW ECC: What's different this time around?

I am so excited to go through Exploring Countries and Cultures again. The last time my kids were so little -- 3rd grade and Kindergarten. And now they are in 5th and 8th grades! They have grown so much over the past five years. As I began to think about our plan for this year, I realized two things: 1) my gifted eldest child remembers just about everything we covered in ECC the first time, and 2) my younger one hasn't had many of the basics that ECC covers. So I was faced with a dilemma -- how do I adjust ECC to suit the very different needs of both children? How do I shift the focus for my 8th grader to aspects of ECC that she hadn't spent time on before (such as types of governments, imports and exports, etc.) while also taking my younger child through the more foundational information that he missed when he was just a kindergartener?  ECC is designed to be parent-led, family learning, with a supplement for 7th and 8th grade. But I came to the conclusion that I need to deco...

Pilcrow pajamas

I finally finished a sewing project...it's been a while, huh?  Little Guy has outgrown most of his pajamas and bodysuits.  He has several onesies, but they're mostly short sleeved which isn't really appropriate for this time of year without a cardigan.  Ottobre to the rescue!  I had traced off the "Naava coverall" (Ottobre 6/2009, #3) but it was already a size too small.  I "remedied" that by simply cutting it out a little larger all around and keeping my original seam allowance...a bit sloppy perhaps, but time-saving! I actually cut out two at the same time from the same material.  I was going for practicality (something for the kid to wear!) rather than fashion.  The other one is nearly done - just the leg binding and snaps left to do.  Still, I needed to do something fun to spruce 'em up a bit.  The other one was voted by hubby to be video game themed, so I decided to make this one reflect my abject nerdiness personality....

Letter posters with memory verses

I have very fond memories of the cursive letter banner that was posted around the top of the walls in my fifth grade classroom.  I thought it would be fun to make something similar for our homeschool classroom (a.k.a. our kitchen). I decided to include a Bible verse for each letter.  At this point it's mostly for my own benefit since Miss M doesn't read yet.  They serve as great reminders to help her memorize these important bits of Scripture while her little mind is still a sponge.  (It saddens me that my memorization skills are not what they were when I was a kid!)   The fun part is I saved my work in a pdf file for you to use too! Just click the image above to download the file.  I laminated mine before sticking them around my kitchen walls with ticky tacky.  (The laminator is a new toy!)  Enjoy!
