more frogs

I've been meaning to share these little beanbag frogs with you. I made these for my friend Sylvia when she visited last week. She had mentioned a year ago that she liked the little frogs she saw on my blog and that she wouldn't mind having some--in multiples, for stacking. Finally I gave her some!
These are stuffed with brown rice, but we decided we like the feel of the old ones better, stuffed with lentils. Either way, there is just something so mellowing about sitting around, chatting with a good friend, and handling a bean bag frog! (And now I have my "task" to make a lentil stuffed item for Sylvia soon!)

By the way, when Sylvia visited, she told me about a blog that I think you might like too. It's called High Desert Home and there is so much good stuff on there: info about unschooling and raising kids (her kids are all grown now), nutrition and health, lots and lots of cooking and domestic stuff, and many interesting book suggestions. The only problem is that the blog's author, Susan, has ended the blog (a few months ago) and may delete it at any second now! That makes me very nervous because I'm not done perusing the archives. So rush on over there if you want and check it out. Oh, and Susan, if you are out there, please don't delete your blog quite yet!
