The Snow Frog

It all started with a piano... but let me skip to the part where I was given three choices and one of the choices was I could have a snow-San made. The thought of having my image in snow made me grin. What would it possibly look like? My thoughts then went to the pictures of snow bunnies my sister sent to me. Which made me think Snow FROG!

I was lucky enough that Dwight was willing to attempt a snow frog. Dwight and Claudia also sent me more picture of themselves with their Little frog hats. Thank you! The snow frog even came with a story I found to be delightful.

This was a serious snow construction which started with the making of a blue print.

It also involved a little volunteer named Iris. It seems Iris was curious of what was being made and abandoned her parents(who were building a snowman near by) to help in the snow frog construction. All I can say is what a wise little girl! Who would not want to make a snow frog?

Iris was the creative decorator of the 'horns' on the frog. Which gives the frog its own personality.

I am thrilled to have a snow frog in my collection of picture. Thanks again for the snow Little frog.

Custom panda

I have velcro on the customized cat and bunny eared hats.(Which can be seen in previous blogs labeled velcro.) I also add velcro upon request to any of my ear flap hat designs.

Here are pictures of a custom made medium sized panda with ear flaps.

For velcro orders, I add some extra length to the ear flaps. I sew on the velcro after cutting out the ear flap pieces. Then sew the flap pieces together. This way most of the stitches are concealed.

A Froggy Day.

Have a Froggy day, be hoppy and make a large splash!

I haven't been in a blog writing mood. Just been spending my time sewing and sewing. I want to update my www.sanslittlefrog.com soon. Next upload will hopefully be a semi-large one.

I am asked every so often why I started Little frog ®. There are actually many reasons, I normally go with the simple one of it starting with a frog hat. Today while doing a check on my USPS tracking, I started to think about the boxes that would come in the mail when I was younger.

I had grandparents that lived on a different Island, so my grandma used to send things by mail. We would occasionally get a box filled with various things she had made or bought for us. Bags, coin purses, clothes, blankets, toys, cookies, candies, etc. And during the summer we would visit them and go to the Obon festival. My siblings and I would wear the Happi coats my grandma made for us.

The bags and purses that my grandma gave always came with a bell. A couple years ago my sister and I were cleaning out the things at my parents house, and I was getting rid of an old purse of mine. My sister stop me and took off a red bell and said "that's a grandma bell." That red bell on a purple string(from the purse I discarded) is what I sometimes carry with me, and with every jingle I think of my grandma. I still have a small collection of bells that came from my grandma.

Funny how a little thing like a jingle of a bell can make you smile and remember someone you wished was still around. This is one of the many reasons of why I created Little frog ®, it too reminds me of my grandparents and all the things my grandma made.

Bath Time Frog

This is David (15 mo.) using a Little frog hooded towel. I hope bath time is a little more fun with the towel.Thank you Ben for sending me the four adorable photos and allowing me to use them.

Happy holidays to everyone. Have a safe and joyous time with family and friends.

Frog.

This customize created towel has a larger hood and uses the Dino towel's green. Currently I will just do larger hoods by request.

It was another year of interesting craft fairs. I am partially glad I did not sign up for more shows/ fairs. I have not really started on Holiday shopping and plans. Half the month has flown by again with out my realizing.
