3 little pigs


.
Rule 1: 3 kids = 3 guinea pigs (or or just plain pigs, as they are sometimes affectionately called.)
,
Our kids asked if we could please, please, please enforce this rule in our house.
.
Hmmmm.
.
Who could possibly resist these precious, tiny critters? So yes, guinea pigs snuggled & sniffed their way into our hearts and taught our kids the important truths of caring for tiny creatures. Our pigs have since gone onto greener pastures, but the love of them still remains.

And so when I saw Nicki Trench's -- yes, super-cute -- book and saw her pattern for guinea pigs, well -- it was a must-make for me!
.

.

Rule 2: Each child gets their own guinea pig. Check.

Rule 3: Mom gets utmost pleasure in crocheting these. Check.

.



So I present to you:
Baby Chick, Nickel and Charles Lindbergh

.
Rule 4: Super cute. Check.
