I'm really loving the crowned versions of my goldwork frogs! I had one rosy gold crown, so I decided to make a little girly one. Yes. This one is already assigned to its new owner.
I finished stitching two of the "Charming" frogs, and only have one side and two legs to do on the third. That leaves one more to finish all the frogs from my giveaway drawing. When it's done, I'll do all the final assembly. Three will be scissor fobs and one will become a brooch.
I may even finish the stitching before I go to work later this afternoon. If not today, then definitely tomorrow. My plan is to have all of them stitched and made into fobs and a brooch by the end of the weekend. I can't wait to show you more.
My hands are still hurting, but I'm not going to sit around licking my wounds. Time to soldier on and do what I love, even when it's not easy. I can say that I'm more content when I'm doing what I love.
Definitely makes for a Happy Friday!
PS. I did, in fact, write a post for yesterday. I think operator error set it to publish on the wrong date. I fixed it, but apologize that it didn't go up on schedule yesterday. sigh
They all look so darn cute!

The frogs are beautiful. The girly frog is really cute. It stinks getting older and dealing with all the not so good changes that come! Andrea Hickman
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea:
DeleteThanks! I really like her, too. (She's heading "across the pond" to my goldwork teacher, Clara). I agree about the age thing, but I think it beats the alternative, so I try not to complain too much. Happy Weekend!

Sherry of createology: Oh Dear! Be still my heart! This Silver and Pink Wee Froggie is just like a fantasy and I do love a good fantasy. I live in a secret world of fantasy and childlike wonder and magical adventures. I hope I never grow up completely. May your hands feel better dear.
ReplyDeleteDear Sherry:
DeleteI love the way you think! I want to be able to see all the wonders in this world until the day I leave it. I'm so glad you love these frogs, and I kind of guessed you'd love the pink one. (I do, too.) Hands change from day to day. As long as I don't accidentally bang my left thumb on anything, it's not too bad. If I do...yikes! Makes my eyes water.
