A Crafty Summer

I scaled back a little bit this summer and took a few weeks off of my Froggy Amish B&B stories that I post on Facebook three times a week. And the end result was a whole lot more crafting!

But I think this crafting was worth it, and it will benefit all of us.

First of all, I made a new Brigette for the Froggy Amish B&B stories that will resume on my Facebook page in September.. She had to grow up a little bit, and so I set to knitting (and sewing her clothes!)

I also set to making some new bedding for the frogs. One of my readers suggested I make a quilt, and that sounded like fun! I would have used my sewing machine, but it was such tiny work, and I didn’t think I could do it with a sewing machine. So I stitched it by hand, which feels appropriate for an Amish B&B, doesn’t it?

There was more knitting of some froggy bedding, too… it seems I was quite preoccupied with making sure my frogs were ready for a cozy fall and winter!

If you don’t follow me on Facebook, you can rectify that! 🙂 I post about my books, and about the Froggy Amish B&B, which is a series of stories featuring a family of knitted frogs.

Happy reading!

    Good Monday Afternoon Patricia,

    The new Brigette is adorable and her little dress is the perfect color!

    Love the new quilt! Of course you had to hand stitch – it’s an Amish quilt! 🙂

    Looking forward to seeing the other updates you’ve made to the Froggy Amish B&B!

    Your so talented! Have fun with all of your crafting!

    Take care and enjoy what’s left of the summer!
