SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

I hope all is well with you all and you are enjoying your weekend.

The other day (whilst continuing to get my craft pod more organised) I came across a sewing pattern tucked inside a notebook. 

I decided to have a play with it for taking over to The Snippets Playground  and this is what I made:

and this is what I used:

Fabric snippets left over from some wedding work I did years ago (some couples liked little string drawn gift bags filled with treats and a name tag attached)  -  using two different fabrics means you can choose which pattern you want uppermost
A very old and well used pattern
Beads for the eyes
Rice for filling 
My Trusty Sewing Machine

Years ago I used to do craft fayres, and hubby and our two son's would sometimes come along too.

So the lads didn't get bored, between us we would make things for them to sell too (and they got to keep their takings).  Often it would be sweets, or cakes that I had made with their help, but one time we made loads of these little frogs and they would be sitting up or draped across little props.  

One visitor to their stall said they would be great for juggling with and he stood juggling with them for a little while .. .. .. suddenly people didn't want to buy one, they wanted to buy three .. .. .. and then before long all of the stock had gone!!!  The lads were well pleased and of course sped off to see what they could spend their takings on.  Happy days .. .. .. so very long ago now but remembered like it was yesterday.

But the frog I have made here is going to be used as a pin cushion .. .. .. if I can bring myself to stick pins in it!!  LOL!!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend .. .. .. and the week ahead.
