Picture My Memories is hosted weekly at Complete Organizing Solutions. How will anyone know how much something meant to us if we don’t share those memories?
This week I’m sharing a little blast from my past. I miss this little guy although he is safely tucked away in my closet I thought I’d break him out for a little photo session.
Critter Frog was an 8th grade Home Economics sewing project. We all had to make a frog. I made a new friend. Critter was filled with rice, not just any rice, but the good stuff, Italian Arborio rice, what else would we have had in my home? I made the little jean overalls for him and he went everywhere with me…Critter has been to Italy, Ireland, Florida, camping, in a canoe, heck I would have brought him on my honeymoon if I didn’t think my new husband would have run screaming from the plane for fear he had just married some crazy chick. That stain on his face, an accident on a flight to Italy, I spilled something on him. I was travelling alone(meeting family there) at 17 and he was my buddy. Critter went everywhere with me, he was my little piece of home always by my side.
How strange will my kids think I am if I start toting him around again? Just kidding. He’s going back in the closet.
How cute! I think the stain gives him character.
Oh, I love it! We had a choice of what we could make and I chose a dalmation. I had to cut out all of these little dots and sew each one on. I lvoe your Critter Frog story!
