A Few More Piggies

The menagerie grows then it gets smaller as I give the critters away. I made a trio of piggies that were quite loud and named them Noisy, Noisier and Noisiest, the "tres apigos" (play on words for tres amigos). They were sent out to 3 little girls on Wednesday.

Then Big Pig joined the group--for some reason, he's just BIG, yet he's made with the same number of stitches as the rest of the piggies. He's pictured with his friend "Stripe" to show the difference in sizes.

Tonight "Porkchop" joined the group, but he's camera shy...maybe I can corral him tomorrow.
With all the ugly things happening in the world, I'm escaping it all by making piggies and lambies. If  the politicians would focus on reducing inflation, getting us out of a recession, solving the border crisis, and open the oil pipelines, then I would talk about more important things than crocheted critters.

I found a small ball of scrap yarn that looked perfect for a lamb, so I made a lamb. Meet Fluffy!

Crochet Critters Continue

I'm making more piggies, and this one might be the best of show. A striped piggy, all proud and perky.

Wildflower Garden

Summer wildflowers are always a surprise as you never know what will show up. This summer the wildflowers are late. I've looked and looked, and nothing was in bloom...and all of sudden all of the flowers were in bloom. A strange summer for wildflowers. I have the "usual" list of illusive flowers and I never get tired of seeing their beauty unfold. Take a look.

     
Queen Anne's Lace, Salsify, Arnica, Harebells

      
Aster, Indian Paintbrush, Lupine, Prairie Grass

Cruise Piggies Mark 2

Meet 2 cruise piggies. They have their bags packed and ready to go. 
Two more cruise piggies are in the mix. 
In case you are wondering, the V stands for Viking Cruise Lines

Cruise Piggy

This little guy is one of 4 official cruise piggies. They're special critters, as they remind us we're going on a cruise.
Haven't been cruisin' since 2019, so the 4 Cruise Piggies will help us get ready for the adventure. Watch this space to see their cruise duds.
