Well, I’m glad to report the diagonal crochet blanket is close to being complete, I just have to crochet the final two rows of the border and I have started the quilt I was planning to make.
The quilt has 4 friendship braid pattern panels divided with 3 rose appliqué panels with little bits of hand embodied flower sprigs. I hope I have not created another “frog” for myself!
Sadly the curtains have not arrived yet, they had a problem with the factory re the delivery of the fabric! Maybe this is a good thing as this will give me some more time to complete the blanket and sew the quilt.
How many “frogs” have you got staring @ you?
Hope to hear of “frogs” you are planning to eat!
Love

Buzy Day 
I love the colours of your actual work!They are so soft and tender. 🙂

Thanks Tajana
HOW beautiful!! My little girl would love that.. 🙂
Thank you.
I have dozens of frogs staring at me. I’m afraid that’s all part of being crafty. I would rather have a good selection of frogs than nothing to do. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.
That’s so true! Thanks for your lovely comment.

They look beautiful. I am trying to teach myself to eat my frogs straight away. I’m trying not to let myself buy new yarn until I have finished my current crochet project. This is because I know I am very good at ignoring my frogs. So my crochet frog right now is the Cottage Garden CAL blocks… which I am edging in preparation for joining. Sewing is more difficult as I find it hard to find time to get to the sewing machine because of work just now. I started some book marks which are all spread out all over the bench in the workroom waiting for me to find the time.
Hi Trisha
I try not to buy new fabric and yarn, as you can see its not working. Thanks for sharing.

Oh man everyone sounds good compared to me! I have 3 quilts on the go, a Christmas tree ornament in progress (just started that one though) a quilt set where I have only completed the pillowcase hmm oh a scarf I have been knitting for at least a year now. There is probably loads more but I am too scared to look in the drawers!
Hi Vicky
I’m to scared to tell you how many frogs I have staring at me! I’m hoping to work through them!
Thanks for sharing your frogs!
Like Lucie say you not a crafter if you don’t have frogs staring at you!
Love
Nikki
Thanks for sharing all your interesting things. Love your little cheese cakes wonderful recipe. Do you ever sleep???
Hi Ivonne
Thanks for your lovely comment! To answer your question yes I do sleep. I just very fortunate to be a full time “crafter”. Hehe
Love
Nikki
Lots and lots of frogs, I don’t know where to start!
Like they say if you don’t have frogs to eat you not a true crafter!
Love
Nikki
How many frogs? I don’t even want to think about it!
Hehe! You and me!
How many frogs? Ugh. At least three half-finished furniture painting projects I can remember. Fabric stuff? Not even going there!
I hope to live long enough to finish them all!
Thanks for your lovely comment.

Nikki
I have a few frogs sitting in my cupboard but decided this month to finish as many as possible and deliver them to Project Linus. Two down…too many to count left!
Well done at least you trying!
Thank for your lovely comment.

Love your frogs, the colours are beautiful, soft and mellow. I have tried to be disciplined about finishing lately but it is so hard, there is always 1 that is particularly hard to tackle for me this is a flower cushion cover, I really love how it looks but it is so fiddly to do. I do keep picking it up and doing a bit but then allow myself to be distracted, I will get there eventually!
At least you trying! I have one that I have being working on for five years now! I have not touched it in a year!
Good luck! Thank you for your lovely comment.

Hi, enjoy your blog. Please tell this Texan what frog stands for. I know it’s a ufo (UnFinished Object). When I frog something I rip it out ripit ripit ripit. LOL I don’t want to think about how meny I have.
Love it! I knew someone will come up with a witty saying!
Thanks for making me smile!
Love
Nikki
I LOVE the blanket!
I’ve counted – I have nine projects waiting to be finished. I was really shocked. Didn’t expect there to be so many.
You are officially a professional crafter!
I’m to scared to count, only wrote down 4 frogs to finish! I know there are many more hibernating in dark places!
Love
Nikki
Hmm. I didn’t think of it THAT way : )
So many frogs and a pool full of tadpoles! Love your blog and had tea with a friend and your cupcakes yesterday, so yummy…
Thanks Helen.
How you doing?
Love
Nikki
Not entirely sure what frogs are (except for the hoppetihopp ones) but I assume they are the same things as UFOs. If that is so, then I have…..tadang! only one!! The Stevie’s Garden top that sits in a box along with batting and backing waiting for me to get brave enough to quilt it on my J6600. Part of me and the frog (?) think that is never going to happen.
Love that crochet blanket – sweet soft colors. I have so far managed to refrain from broadening gout from quilting 😀
Thanks for your lovely comment. Eat the frog is a UFO!
Love
Nikki
I’ve never heard of ‘eating the frog’,. From the other comments I’m guessing unfinished projects? If so, I’ve loads. That quilt is beautiful, I love it,
Thanks for your lovely comment.

Nikki
hi nikki. lovely color. love it
Thanks Dina.
Lots of tadpoles! xxx
I know! Hehe
Reckon I had frog soup this week. I got caught up on all the little projects, and now I’m hatching tadpoles in my mind. Wiggly little critters, but fun!! 😆
Love it! Frog soup taste pretty good!?
Thanks for your lovely comment.
Love
Nikki
Well, yeah, I reckon…kinda got stuck in my throat for awhile though. But I’m OK with that now; and the tadpoles are growing (got ’em all over my sewing table again!) 😆
Your designs are very pretty. Do you sell them?
Thank you for visiting my blog. 🙂
Thanks for your lovely comment! No I don’t sell my designs, I just craft for myself and my family.

Nikki
How many “frogs” have you got staring @ you?
…twenty. Good grief.
That said, I did have twenty-two earlier this week (although I didn’t exactly finish them, I more recognized that I wasn’t going to finish them and officially cancelled them. One was a knit shawl that I’d finished knitting and was half-done the edging on and just… I did not love it).
Two of my frogs are knit hats that just need the ends woven in, so perhaps I’ll finish them today.
Well done for facing your “frog”! Good for you for leaving something you don’t like! Thanks for sharing.
Love
Nikki
I see you have a love for blankets as I do! I’m not a quilter or anything as crafty as that, I simply try to collect them with the intention of keeping my community warm, one blanket at a time. Thank you so much for taking interest in The Great Warm Up! I will certainly follow your journey from now on.
Michael
Thanks Michael for that lovely commment.

The first frog that is staring at me is the poem “High Flight” that I started in cross stitch about five years ago. I picked it up again yesterday, and hope to have it finished for my dad for Christmas (yes, this year!). Thanks for “liking” my post about it at triggershorse.wordpress.com – Fawn
Thanks Fawn
Too many to count, every time I’m looking for some thread or fabric I find another one or two. One I’ve very nearly finished recently is a cardigan I started when our son was 9 months old, everybody keeps saying it won’t fit him any more, but fortunately it’s for me!! It’s just as well as he’s now 2. I still love the colour and the style has gone full circle. I just need to sew in the ends and stitch on the buttons.
Hehe! You are a true crafterista!
Yummy colours!
Hi Conchita
