Holly Hobby

While looking through a box of my old belongings I came across this old pillow that used to lie on bed when I was a little girl. As I only have boys there's not much use for it now. However, I do think that she would be so cute sewn on the bottom of my plain jane blue or maybe pink tank top. So, I'm wondering how easy it would be to remove her from the pillow and then reattach her to the bottom corner of my tank. I thought putting her in the middle of the shirt would look too "little girly", but I thought I might be able to get away with the corner. She's about 8 inches tall. I know I also have the matching blanket somewhere. I need to go digging for it and se if I might have a smaller version.

Bookmark and Book Swap

Yeah, I've signed up for my very first swap!! I signed up over on IbbyBee for a bookmark and thrifted book swap. I am so excited! We will make 3 bookmarks and send along a thrifted book to the person that we are partnered with. We've given a list of 3 genres of books that we're interested in so that our partner has a clue as to what we like. One bookmark has to made of paper, one has to be made of fabric and the third is up to the crafter. I really can't wait to find out about my partner and get started.

Vintage Sheet

While purusing other wonderful blogs of some amazing crafters out there I discovered that a lot of them are using vintage sheets for material. I never would have thought of that and it is a genious idea!
I found this sheet in the back of my linen closet (given to me by my mom ages ago). It is destined to become a pair of lounge pants I'm sure given the built in cuff with the cute pink trim. I'm not sure what I'll do with the rest of the material, but I know I'll find something. I'll post pictures when I finish the pants.

What's This Blog About Anyway?

Again, if you know me then you know I have another blog where I keep up with all our family news (mostly what I do with the boys). This blog is going to be geared towards my endeavors to get back into the crafting world. I used to craft all the time before I had the boys and all of that was put aside to devote time to the 3 frogs. Well, I've decided I need some "me time" and I'm going to be spending time crafting. This blog is going to chronicle that journey.

What's in a Name?

So, it's probably obvious if you know me, but it might not be if you don't. Where does 3frogs come from? I have 3 sons and I've always called them my 3 frogs (usually just to myself). So, that's where the name is from. So, there you go.
