Froggies Expecting ...

I can imagine just what you are thinking!
A hint for what Froggy might be expecting is that this quilt is a recent commission for a baby that is still being kept warm in mummy's tum.
Mmmmmm!!!! The Thinking caps are on!!!
Froggy is perched quite precariously on another Froggy's head - what on earth is going on???

Throw a snail and a turtle into the mix and now you have a tower of creatures!

What's this?? Oh no, the Crane has dropped this little froggy bundle, can the tower of creatures save the day and claim this cutie as their own????

I am in love with this little quilt.
I hope you enjoyed this little story - I loved working on this and I really hope that it's new owner loves it too.

Spread the Love ...

The lovely Julie over at Bush Baby Jag has very kindly awarded me this Blogger Award and I want to spread the love some more.


It always warms my heart when I receive things like this and confirms how much I gain from blogging.
The blog community has really opened my eyes and heart to the generosity and creativity of so many wonderful people and I am glad to be a part of it.

Thank you.

Lynda at Master of Patience?
Fiona at Dragonfly Crafts
Lyn at Welcome to Bluebirds Quilts
Julie at Julie's Quilt Gallery

These blogs I not only read on a regular basis but their writers have become friends and people I can turn to for advice and opinions, I treasure your friendship and thank you for the help and confidence boosting you have given along the way.


Please return the favour and spread the love some more, to 7 other bloggers.

Apparently I also have to write 7 things about myself that you might not know, so here goes;


1. I am a real home body and love nothing more (except quilting obviously) than making sure that our home is a welcoming place for my husband Tony and Jack Russell pup, Henri.
2. I have a degree in English Literature: I have a great love of books of all kinds.
3. I trained to be a teacher of English and Drama but felt that the British system of teaching; planning and targets etc sucked all the creativity out of me and so I quit.
4. I have been lucky enough to travel to some amazing countries and seen many beautiful sights that will stay in my heart forever; Africa, Thailand, Egypt, all over Europe and the USA.
5. In my previous life I worked for 11 years as a nanny and worked and lived with some interesting families in the USA, Netherlands and London, I can speak Dutch!!
6. I got married last June to my gorgeous husband Tony and I still can't quite believe how lucky I am to have met such a generous and loving man. He is a doctor and i've come to realise that being a doctor's wife is challenging but one I shall rise to.
7. I have long-term depression and I'm neither embarassed nor ashamed of it. I am learning to accept it and live with it and in some ways it makes me stronger, more grateful and appreciative of all the 'little' things in life that really count; a smile from a stranger, a pat on the back to a job well done and a hug from someone in need. I really do try to live for the moment every day.
Thank you and happy Thursday.
