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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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 ;)

  3. 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!

No More Quiet Time

I  have always thought it sounded trite to speak of “falling in love with Jesus.” But trite or not, isn’t that what I want for my children? To learn to “love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” (Deuteronomy 6:5). With that in mind, and having run across this blog post on Pinterest several months ago, I created a morning devotion basket for the kids and I to use. You see, up till now, I would typically find time to read the Bible and pray away from my children. Away from distraction, away from the demands of dust and dirty dishes, and away from the 437 questions a four-year-old asks every day. Then I realized I was doing them a major disservice by disallowing them to see me in the Word regularly. If I want them to love the Lord God, then I must show them how I love the Lord my God! Our new routine is to wake up in the morning, prepare a simple breakfast — usually cold cereal for the kids, toast and tea for me — and sit d...

Homeschool Sanity Saver: Meal Planning for a MONTH

Last year while on my blogging hiatus, I did something crazy. I planned meals out an entire month or more in advance!   And it was heavenly. I give a lot of myself during a typical school day. My energies are consumed with many, many details. Did this child read today? Did she understand math? How many minutes did that lesson take? Do I need to supplement this topic? How long until they need a break? Did we cover everything? Is that spelled correctly? What is 7x12? How are we doing for time? Did I take my vitamins? Do we need to be anywhere today? And on and on.  By the time our lessons are over, I am frequently suffering from decision fatigue. I just cannot make choices about what we will eat for supper.  I will literally stand in front of the fridge or cupboard staring at ingredients for 15 minutes, then give up and order Jimmy John's. To relive myself of this burden, I have discovered that having a meal plan in place is essential. I have enough physical energy t...

DPP Day 12: Early Morning Magic

In my youth I was "early to bed and early to rise," typically getting up before the sun. These days, not so much. Hubby and the kids are night owls, which means I'm usually up late right along with them. And when I stay up late, I sleep in late the next morning. (Because sleep deprivation is for the birds.) This morning, however, I was up early and caught this beautiful beam of the just-risen sun casting shadows of my jade plant on the kitchen wall. Due to the position of the window, and neighboring houses and trees, it only stayed illuminated like this for less than five minutes. Five magical minutes, and I captured it!
