Newe Yeare Lemon Pigge

[asakiyume]

The twitter account "Chaucer Doth Tweet" LeVostreGC had this fun poem on how to make a New Year's Lemon Pig:

A lemon as bright as the sun yn the skye
Two whole cloves bicom the eyes
A curly tayle of foil of tin
For legges push IV tooth-picks yn
To make the ears but folde the peele up
A shinye coin yn the mouth for luck
Cheer be brighte, dreams be big:
Biholde! a Newe Yeare lemon pigge.
(source tweet)

Irresistible! I made one:

I love your piggy!

[asakiyume]

Thank you! He was very fun to make, and very easy to make, and now my hands smell like lemons and cloves :-)

That lemon pig is so delightful. The coin in the mouth especially looks so bright and cheerful.

[asakiyume]

make one make one make one! And take a picture!

[osprey_archer]

Alas, I am at work! Also not sure I have a lemon at home, tbh. I'll check when I get back.

[asakiyume]

Fair. I can wait.

[wayfaringwordhack]

I love it! :D

[asakiyume]

Hurray! Maybe you and the young ones can make a whole stampede of them (provided you have some lemons).

[wayfaringwordhack]

We don't but if we get some, we will stampede ahead. :P

Irresistible! I made one

My God, that's adorable.

[asakiyume]

Creating him was a real pick-me-up

[sartorias]

That is so cute!

[asakiyume]

I feel like *playing* with him ... except I don't really play in that way anymore? But I can definitely have him keep me company while I make supper.

[gwynnega]

That is very cute.

[asakiyume]

I am so taken with this little guy.

[pjthompson]

Lovely piggy!

[asakiyume]

I adore him ^_^

[evelyn_b]

That lemon pigge is too cute. <3

[asakiyume]

He makes me smile every time I go into the kitchen!

[teenybuffalo]

What a darling! I love seeing him.

[asakiyume]

I love showing him off, so this is a happy win-win ;-)

PS I don't know if I commented on your FB post (I sometimes think about doing a thing and then get distracted and then can't remember if I actually did the thing or not), but was impressed by your dad's recovery and 10k--told Wakanomori, who was equally impressed.

So cute and cheerful!

As Chaucer says--as bright as the sun yn the skye ^_^
