I cut the pigs new fleece up last night and gave it a run through the washing machine. This fleece is their Christmas present, so I had planned to cut and wash it, then put it in a bag to put in their cage on Christmas Eve.

Well, it was dry by lunchtime when I came to clean the cages.

So I gave in. I needed to see that it all fitted ok, you see? Nothing to do with being far too overexcited about new fleece. Although...

I do rather love it. :(|)
 
AWWW I LOVE it!

Lucky piggies! x)x)x)

PS: I love Meghan and her new fleece as well!
 
Oh Laura i absolutely love it. Chocs is on my knee and thinks it looks great he is now demanding i get him a stocking like your piggies have they are gorgeous. Have you made them? I must get some for our piggies.x)
 
I love the new fleece! Could find any that gorgeous down here is cornwall :( Maybe need to look harder!
Meghan is a darling too!
 
Thank you everyone. I couldn't resist. Now they're only down to a few teddies for Christmas. Unless I find another set of fleece I like.

Lindsay - am I remembering rightly when I say you're a little partial to Dexter? Do excuse me if I'm getting mixed up! In any case, here he is enjoying the new fleece too...

Saffron and a couple of others to follow when they have uploaded!

Lindsay, the stockings were from Huntingdon Garden & Leisure Centre, sold as tree decorations funnily enough! I'll see if I can find any online for you.
 
Or Laura Dexter and Frankie are just gorge they look so comfy on their new fleece.

Off to have a search online now for tree stockings they look so cute. Just made Ken look at your cage set up and he loves it and said your better at hoovering than me. Your piggy room is gorgeousx)
 
Haha, I spend 10 minutes just hoovering the poops out the cages each morning, the floor is not clean when you get close to it! Priority is always the cages, they have to look mostly clean and tidy at the start of each day. :)) Thanks for the compliments though.

The cage takes up half my bedroom, I don't notice it's size most of the time as I tend to view each group of pigs individually, thus taking in only their cage size...sometimes I sit back and look at the whole thing and think, even if it was only extended by one grid either way I think I'd be overwhelmed!

Few more pics:

Tori, I just reread your message and noticed you mentioned about finding nice fleece...

eBay! I buy all mine off there, I bought 5m of this new fleece, total was around £30 including postage but I've managed to buy 5m of different designs for less than £15 including postage. There are some lovely fleeces on there.

Click to expand...

Sophia is lilac and white. That greyish colour is known as lilac. I *think* when the pig has pink eyes it's called lilac, and if the pig has dark eyes it's called slate - but don't quote me on that! Breeds/colours are not my strong point. :))
 
Wow.. I love that Piggy home.. They look like they all love the new fleece :(|)
 
Sunny has pink eyes and Ive been calling her Blondyhighlights so it has to better than that :)!
 
Wow, it looks FANTASTIC! The picture of Elijah and Errol is my favourite too...

This has totally inspired me to get new fleece for my new setup! I will wait until after christmas though so I know it's the size I want...
 
Your piggies are so lucky Laura, you look after them so well.

The new fleece looks lovely and I absolutely adore their stockings, brilliant!

Elijah and Errol are right up there with my favourite forum piggies, they really make my heart skip a beat! x)
 
Heheh Elijah and Errol are cuties!

In your cage on the right, how many piggies are in there? It's 5x4 yes? I'm thinking of doing 5x3 for 3 girls and a neutered boy. Was thinking of 4x3 but I'm thinking when the two baby girls are bigger it might be a bit small?

Hope you are well Laura, rcvd your card the other day thank you xx
 
I'm coming to your house to steal the cage! do you think it'll fit in my KA?:)):)):))

lovely pictures and the room looks so nice and tidy!
