I know what you mean I think I have
more then I have stitched on this latest project.
Where is my gun that little
is toast.
The cafe needs to have a half price special to get rid of all of these little buggers.

Umm sorry but I still haven't understood the term frog.. From what I read somewhere in this forum, it says "rip it, rip it" so it called as frog.
But I still haven't understood. Is it means that we have to cut the stitched threads with scissors because we did a mistake.. or what? Thanks.

It's just a fun expression when unpicking or cutting the wrong stitches. Some folks repeat
'rip-it, rip-it' and it sounds like a frog going
'ribbit, ribbit' !!
Do hate those wee critters when they visit .... but the French do seem to deal with them pretty well!!
Many years ago cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.

oooo that frog!!!!! We've been finding a lot of frogs in our yard as of late.. I keep telling them since I'm letting them live that the least they can do is leave my stitching alone... and it's worked! but then I keep ending up making mistakes at work instead
