The Granny Frog!

I guess I had better put up a picture of what I have been working on lately....


It doesn't look very square in the picture, but this is one of 12 granny squares I have for the blanket I am making my baby girl.  Yay!!  Only 12 more to go!!!  I found this pattern in one of my moms old crochet books.  I love the colors together and hope that it doesn't fall apart when I wash it!!!  This will be my first multiple color changing project.  Doubles and Triples, Doubles and Triples... 

For those of you who have been keeping up with my blog, you know that I originally got into crocheting after countless hours searching for a hobby on the internet when my daughter was about 3 months old.  I ended up picking crochet because I ran across a page full of hyperlinks to various charities which touched me on a personal level.  I ended up looking into my local Children's Hospital and saw that I could donate to the neonatal unit.  I am pretty sure that somewhere in that hospital they probably have a unit for children with cancer too.  I would love to donate some of my toys to them as well.  Here is what I have so far:


Frogs, frogs, everywhere:)  I figured I could start with 25 frogs, and 25 of those flower faces before I make my first trip up to drop them off.  I have to admit though, with Hadley getting older I barely have time to think much less crochet.  I have been trying to crochet half a frog in one evening and when I get to bed make one round on a granny square... at this rate it may be next June before it is all said and done!!  I tell you what, it takes more time to sew on the eyes/arms/legs than it does to crochet a whole frog body!!!  Check back and I will keep you updated:)

Speaking of frogs, do you remember this:
