Well most of you figured out that “Eat the Frog” is basically a UFO! Here in buzy day we have been eating lots and lots of frogs! And you know what, they taste pretty good!
What will you do when you are presented with a frog that you have to eat? Are you going to sit and stare at it or just eat it? The best reason for eating a frog comes from a fellow blogger, handymom03! They make an awful noise and you have to shut it up! Rip it out! Rip it out! Rip it out! When they make a noise like that you just have to eat them! Sorry!
Like lots of you have said you have tadpoles, well, I have lots of big frogs that have been hibernating! I pulled one out that I started in 2011, July, 23 to be exact!
All I had to do is add 2 more of the flower petal rounds, crochet the back and make the cushion for the inside.
Yarn used: Elle – Premier, natural cotton, double knit, crochet with#4 (UK) 10 (US) hook, size.
Pattern: Lucy @ Attic 24 –Blooming flower cushion.
Hope you all are also eating some frogs! Hehe
I’m buzy eating another frog! Hope to have swallowed it by next week!

Lovely cushion….beautiful colours.
Thanks Marie
What a beautiful frog, I am so glad you faced it and have shared the wonderful results with us. I have made the cushion too a couple of times and love it. One was for my daughter who tells me she hugs it rather than sits on it, so tactile.
Thanks for your lovely comment.

Here we have kids small chocolate bars called “Freddo Frog”….. wish the ones I keep having to eat tasted the same as those 😉
Hehe!
It is absolutely beautiful. I have seen similar cushions on Ravelry and thought about attempting one but I think my frog is telling me it’s too hard!
Hi Mollie
It’s a pretty easy patern! Just the counting!
Love
Nikki
Thanks Nikki! I might have a go but Mollie the Lab is only good at damaging Fairisle and putting extra holes in lace 😉😉😉 Claire x
Mollie – I made one too, it’s really not that hard, you should try it! 🙂
Mollie the Lab sends you a big lick!
hahah sorry, big kiss to Mollie, and Claire you should try the pillow 🙂
Thanks Mollie, big kiss to you too!
You are very virtuous finishing it and what a lovely cushion!
Thanks for your lovely comment.

Love it! What a terrific way to use up scraps of yarn.
Thanks Jane.
Reblogged this on Life Is A Canvas With Many Needs and commented:
So pretty xD
It looks beautiful – love all the colors! 🙂
Thanks Pia.
I admired Lucy’s pattern on her blog ages ago. It looks fun to make and more fun to snuggle up with on the couch.

Lovely! It’s a great idea for using up yarn! My mother would love this, alas, I’m a much slower crochet-er than quilter.
Hi Rita
I’m not good at it at all! Can only do it if I have pictures! Haha.
Thanks for your lovely comment.

This reminds me of a fabulous rug/shawl I saw in afghan style with flowers like this – 3d style – on green squares..looked fab xxx
Fantastic!
Thanks Amanda
Wonderfully crazy!
Thank you.
I really got lost and confused at first with all the talk of frogs. To me they are either amphibians or part of a guitar. You learn something every day!
hehe
Great! I too land up with so many unfinished projects, this is inspiring..need to start finishing 🙂

How pretty.. love it…

I love that cushion, so colorful and looks like it was lots of fun to make!
Thanks for visiting my buzy day.

Hi, Nikki, thanks for stopping by my blog. Your cushion looks great; I’m afraid crochet is outside my skills set, at the moment. I keep promising myself I’ll learn, but I can’t set the knitting down long enough!
Hi Maggie
Seams I’m the opposite not a good knitter my skill level to knitting is limited to socks! Hehe love looking at other people’s lovely knits!
Love
Nikki
Fabulous colours I love it Lovely neat work to.
Thanks Julie.
Wow, your work is beautiful! Was it hard to learn up to your level? Love it 🙂
Thanks for your kind comment. Crocheting is one of the first crafts I learned as a little girl.
Love
Nikki
Ehehe, then I have a lot to catch up on 😉 I saw my first three tutorial videos for knotting last night, and crochet I’ll probably try after I can make something nice knitting 🙂
Good luck! I find crocheting far easier than knitting.
aha! I guess that is a good thing. At least when I try crocheting I’ll find it less complicated 😉
Thanks for stopping by my blog Nikki, love what you do. I’m just getting started so will stop by to be inspired!
Thanks Helen.
Looks lovely I wish I could crochet but it beats me every time I try
Hi Hayley
Just keep goinging! You will get there!
Love
Nikki
PS thanks for the lovely comment!
That cushion is too beautiful to sit on! Or lean on! Or anything! I wouldn’t want to squish it! Thanks for popping by my blog! =) I just finished joining my granny squares together and I’m up to the border now!
Thanks Miss Ling.
These are so beautiful!!
Thanks for your lovely comment.
Well, you might order a steak medium-rare, but your frogs obviously “taste” well done 😉 Very colourful and lovely cushion ❤
Hehe! My frogs taste like soft sweet jelly sweets!
Thanks for your lovely comment.

Nikki
Gorgeous!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello 🙂 Thanks for the like on my pitiful attempts at crochet! of course I had to come and have a peek over here, and oh my that cushion is adorable! I think I might try something like that in the future once I figure out how to finish a round properly! 🙂
Thanks for visiting my buzy day blog.
