Miss Piggy

 Apparently, this is a rabbit, but it looks like a pig to me haha! 

I made three dresses without a pattern, plus two little hats! That's one of the things I like about crochet, you just keep going until you're done! With knitting you need to have a pattern!



Cost: Used cotton yarn I already had for dishcloths. This was a commission from a friend of mine. We ended up bartering three crocheted dresses of mine for one of the Ukrainian eggs she paints!

What looked like a pair of out-size frog legs and a very stiff coat.  I stuffed the shell ( necropants ?) with some rags, bags of kitty litter in the feet, and newspaper in th

Especially if you’re working on a show with a big cast (my last had 69 cast members!) what’s in your rehearsal bag is your lifeline to keep from going crazy during those long, long rehearsals. What’s In My Rehearsal Bag? Mini Hand Sanitizer. Besides being used on your hands, you can squeeze hand sanitizer on to a tissue or a napkin and use it as a wipe to sanitize surfaces. A Packet of Tissues/Hankie. Don’t count on anything softer than toilet tissue to be available, and you don’t want to be sniffing all night long. Lip Balm, Travel Size Hand Lotion.
