Another minky fabric toad, but a zipper pouch toad this time! I like the fabric so much that I couldn’t resist using more right away :) I used some of the scraps of fabric leftover from making Conker. 

They’re much smaller than my other pouch frogs, more like a “coin purse” toad. I used two brown leather shank buttons for eyes and the zipper I used matched the colour perfectly :)

Their name is ☆⚘ Pennywort ⚘☆

I finished this frog yesterday. It’s been a little while since I last made a frog, especially a green one, so I made this little one. I decided to make her a witch hat too, which can be taken off and shared with my other frogs and toads as well. 

Their name is ·₊˚⋆☽ ⚘Wormwood the Witch⚘ ☾⋆˚₊· and I’m very happy with how she turned out! ♡ <|:^) ♡ 

I also recently got my first set of actual dice, so I thought it would be fitting for her to hold them in a couple photos.

I used the very last of my green, mossy textured fabric on this frog, my last two were pretty big, but he’s on the smaller side, a decent size to hold in my hand. I’m glad he ended up so round :)

I’ll name him Duckweed, a common aquatic pond plant. He’s also more green in real life, the photos and background washed out his colours a bit. 

I’ve been wanting to make the Loveland Frogman for a while, but I wanted a way to differentiate him from my other frog plushies, so I tried out a bit of a different shape with this guy. 

He still does look quite froggish, but I did try to make him a little more “guy-shaped” by making his head a bit more protruding and making sure his limbs stayed on the longer side. He’s also quite a bit more weighted than my other frogs, because I stuffed him with mostly pebbles (and some yarn scraps, to keep him a little soft), so he acts as a bit of a “beanbag frog” in a way. 

I think he especially looks like a little guy when he’s sitting down, which really makes him unique from my other frogs. I also gave him a little twig wand in the first photo, since that’s something that the Loveland Frogman (one of them, at least) has been reportedly seen carrying.˚₊·⋆˚₊·｡

This is an idea that I’ve had since I saw it in another post before, but I can’t find where I orginally saw it, so I can’t take credit for the idea, but it inspired me so I wanted to make my own version :)

It’s a cyclops frog! >☉)

To keep with the eye theme, I’ll name them ·₊˚⋆ Peeper ⊙˚₊·

I made them the way I usually make all my frogs, but I used two slightly different green fabrics for the top halves, as well as some old couch cushion fabric that’s made many appearances in past projects. I also gave them a tongue poking out, since I thought it would look good for the symmetry. 

And for the centerpiece, I used the largest button I had to give them one single dark brown eye. 

Another partially crocheted frog, I know I’ve been posting A LOT of frogs lately, but I guess that’s just what I’ve been in the mood to make ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

This one’s name is ･:*⚘ Lemongrass ⚘*:･

Another odd-eyed frog, this time with thirteen button eyes >::::::·) I’ve decided to call them ☆☉☽ Oracle ☾☉☆ because with that many eyes, some of them ought to see into the future (and maybe a few unseen realms), right? <|:)

I hadn’t originally planned to make them have so many eyes, but I got suddenly inspired while choosing the buttons for his eyes. I also used some black faux fur fabric for their body, it’s very soft ଘ(୨୧ᵕᴗᵕ) <3

Oracle is one of my largest frogs, they’re about the same length as my other biggest frog, Juniper, but he’s a bit wider and definitely heavier, since I stuffed him with a bunch of old fabric and yarn scraps instead of regular stuffing. I think it gives them a very comforting weight to hold ☾♡˚₊·｡⋆

This project also gets me in more of a Halloween mood, probably because all the eyes and dark furry fabric remind me of a spooky spider㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ So this was a nice project to welcome the Halloween season!! <|:^D

Oracle still holds the title of my largest frog. 

I guess I’ve kinda been on the toad train lately, because I made another one :) She is the largest toad or frog that I’ve made so far. I also tried out a more stubby and stout pattern. 

It’s been a while since I’ve made a frog, so here’s two!! They’re twins I made yesterday. I recently got a bag of zippers from a thrift store and wanted to make some pouch or purse-type things with them. I’ve seen a lot of pictures of coin purses and stuff in the shape of animals with the zipper closure as the mouth, so I wanted to try that out as well. 

Since the look of the zippers make their mouths look kinda big and toothy, I decided to name them mouth-related words: ☆ Gob ☆ and ✧ Chops ✧ (Gob is on the left, Chops is on the right). Despite being slightly smaller, Gob is the slightly older sibling and Chops is the younger brother. 

I used the same two types of fabric on both of them, but used them on alternating sides (the fabric I used for one’s underside is what I used for the other’s top side, and vice versa). 

The pattern I used is the same as all my other frogs, with three pieces (two curved-seam half pieces for the top, one whole piece for the bottom). But I sewed a zipper into their mouths and fitted a round pouch around the inner mouth that goes inside to line them. I did also stuff them a bit before sewing in the lining, but not too much, just enough so they don’t look to deflated when they’re not holding anything. 

I’m glad that using the zippers worked out so well, since it was my first time sewing with them. These guys are now valued members of my hand made frog hoard!! <|:^) I’m looking forward to having them as keepers of my trinkets and treasures! .♡⋆˙⊹˚₊·
