You know how it is:
Last week a customer who DIGS PIGS, as I obviously do, asks, upon seeing my cow teapots:
"hey, are you gonna try to make a piggy shaped teapot???" and it had been on my mind, OH YES.
Today I figured I might give it a try. But, you know, at midday I have that big bean burrito and am feeling blissfully drowsy (WELL! I had a cold!!!! Plus, you know, self-employed people, um, have these sorts of habits)
and I like, crawl into bed after lunch with my favorite beagle.
I am one of those people who who find naps terribly inspiring, and as I fell asleep, I figured out how I wanted to make a piggy teapot.
Woke up a few minutes later, SO EXCITED, and threw the pieces and set them out in the sun so they could quick dry and I could finish the thing right away.
HUZZAH!

Yea piggies.
This new style with the open spout mouth is by far the best thing ever. I loved the cows, I love the pig! Nice job Uncle Gary.
Love it! You should twist the handle into a curly tail ;-)
That is by far the best piggy teapot ever!!!!!
Oh no, I love this too...
It's super great!! Love it. You'll have the whole barnyard soon!
Love the cloven hooves...but there's something about those crazed eyes...
If I were you, I'd take naps every day! Brilliant!
...and "This Little Piggy"
will do well at the market!
