it's a tribute - this isn't the greatest game in the world...
I am committing to a handmade kiss-mas this year, or at least as much as possible. So I have been looking for a easy to make present that will delight both young and old. It had to be sweet but also fun, I wanted something people would actually use, so I came up with my own version of 'Pass the Pigs'....Pass the Piglets!
I had to modify the game a little, this is the score card I came up with.
I wanted everything to fit into a little container so I made this poke
everything tucks in quite nicely!
the pigs are also quite sweet on their own
The two piggies side-by-each in the basket look loke a rosy little bum! I love these!

OMG I would pay a small fortune for the pattern for this! We love this game here at our house, have played it since what seems like the beginning of time and still have our original set. I would love to be able to make one to give to my daughter, she would adore it!

Oh my goodness! Those piglets are wonderful! I have loved Pass the Pigs since my dad bought a copy for me from a garage sale when I was 8.

That is amazing! You are supremely talented. Seeing this has made me even more determined to do a handmade Christmas and to take extra care not to be my usual slapdash self. Thanks for the inspiration :)

How adorable! Pass the Pigs is our favorite game to take camping with us-I don't know quite how that tradition got started. I hope you will consider offering the pattern for this.

And we played the first thing that came to our heads, and it just so happened to be: the best game in the world! It was the best game in the world!
