So I uhmed and aahed all weekend and decided to do different eyes for the frog. I was just not happy with how they turned out. As much as I try to avoid buttons as some people really don't like them on toys (which I totally understand, but I'm sure that not all my sock toys are destined for the under 3s!) I just wouldn't have been happy setting Mr Frog out on the stall as he was - he looked like he'd fallen foul/fowl (??) to a practical joke comprising boot polish and binoculars!!!
So here he is, revamped with white button eyes - I'm so much happier with him now!!
I've also made 2 more floppy fabric eared bunnies, I'm really pleased with these ladies, just got 3 cats, 2 owls and another frog to finish before I should think of starting any more new ones!!! I'm terrible like that, I'll start something off with complete gusto and prep 2 or 3, then burn out and have another idea and feel like I have to go with that instead. I think I also have a couple of sock elephants and maybe even a couple of sheep languishing about in different stages of incompleteness - oops! I think I may declare the next couple of days a "no new stuff zone" and work at getting these half-finished creatures: done (said in my best Gordon Ramsey voice!).
I shall report back here hopefully with some photographic evidence - wish me luck!
