Eating Frogs

No not real ones... let me put your mind at rest over that before we even start.

If you were around for yesterday's post, you'll have seen the pics of the frogs I have made over the years for my husband, and I said that today that I'd show you what I did with them for Valentines Day.

If you upload photos to https://boomf.com/ they put them onto marshmallows for you! And before you ask... no I'm not sponsored by them (or anyone else for that matter) I just loved the idea.

I don't know what they are usually packaged in but, as it was Valentine's Day, these ones were in the obligatory red.

And labelled with the appropriate care message.

Beautifully boxed and including a matching picture so that, even when you have eaten them, you remember... or thriftily make it into a Valentine's  card like I did.

They provide messages you can choose from if you don't want all pictures, and they are for all occasions and none.

Of course it does cost money but then most things do. It is free to go and browse on the page though  = )

A Gallery of Frogs

My husband loves the frogs I make him, mostly because he can fill their mouths with styluses (styli???) when he goes to do events and shows.

So here are a collection of the ones I have made him to date... and following posts will show you what I did with them.

Made from a very weird leather skirt I bought in a charity shop.

Made from weird crocodile print fabric over printed with snakeskin texture that I bought from a charity shop.

Made from a very stretchy second-hand top.

Made from some pale green linen fabric from goodness-knows-where.

Made from cheap felt pack, bought in a branch of the Works on holiday to fill a felt-making fetish and celebrate 21 years of marriage (flippin heck!!).

Did you see the adverts on TV for Boomf products over the weeks leading up to Valentines Day? If you did then you may be ahead of the game in guessing my next post!

Evil Spud!

Have you ever looked in a bag of potatoes and found an evil spud?

Well here is the one I found in mine...

I'm sure it's up to no good.

To begin with, it looked so much like the book cover of A Clockwork Orange that I nearly made it a bowler hat before I photographed it, but then the blackness spread into more of a mask.

More Star Wars at Legoland

Here are the rest of the pics of Star Wars in Lego

A little Luke goes up and down inside the AT AT on Hoth's ice planet.

Ewok village...rather fancied going there.

The furry creatures look a little odd when smoothed by Lego, but they have not yet made a furry brick!

And there you go... a quick tour of the Star Wars exhibition in Legoland. There are, of course, models from the middle (later/ earlier/ first/ second) three films but I didn't take pics of them as they are not my intergalactic bag.

Star Wars Lego at Legoland

It's been a while since we had a bit of Lego so let's combine it with the ever-present Star Wars and indulge ourselves.

You will be able to deduce my age and loyalties from the fact that the photos I chose to take only cover the original three films.

These are full sized models in Lego.

 It can take quite a while for conditions to be right for the perfect photo as so many people want to be photographed with them or photograph a friend or family member with them.

I love the Millenium Falcon... well I would, wouldn't I? Its the Star Wars version of the Tardis!

Some are full size figure models and others are smaller spaceships or landscapes  like this one of Tatooine.

The Cantina lights up and plays the tune we all love.

There will be more! Yay!

Whipping and Whacking!
