When I would return from school the frog would be off the radio and on my dresser. I totally convinced myself that the frog was possessed and was hopping off the radio onto the top of my dresser.

One weekend I was in my bedroom cleaning and had the radio on . . .and the frog hopped off onto the dresser. Turns out that the radio reception caused enough vibration in the radio and the vibrations would cause the frog to 'hop' off.

So, no more 'possessed' frogs for me.

That's not why tree frogs bother me though. Regular frogs and toads? LOVE THEM!!!!

Ceramic frogs are the only ones I see around here lol There is a pond down at the bottom of the hill, so I would imagine there are some frogs down there (of the large, green variety of course) but I keep a ceramic frog on my front step. Not sure why, just saw him and thought he was cute :) Plus my house is green, so he kinda matches :D Can't say I've ever seen a tree frog, other than pictures.

I like it so much I'd like to know where you got the fabric. It's darling.

I bought the fabric at a estate sale last year for practically nothing! :D You maybe could find some online. The company name on the selvage is The Cranston Collection.

Thanks for all the comments and frog stories from everyone!

Happy you decided to use the frogs. Love frogs!:D

Absolutely not. I use frogs and bugs and bees and worms and lizzards and all such things in my boy Linus quilts.

Here are a couple of the frog fabrics I found at Marshall Dry Goods.

Lol, that reminded me of how I used to catch frogs at my grandparents house in the summertime, and put them in a coffee can (let them go of course later) and it took me a long time to realize that "frogs dont actually smell like coffee"! (smart I know)

But like everyone else has said, the frogs are great and so much fun! I cant wait to see what you make :)

Hey......I did some looking online for that exact print.............I couldn't find it but there were tons of other cute frog prints out there. Now I want some more! :)

I don't think they're scary at all, little boys especially would love this.

They are NOT creepy, they are beuatiful! :)
