My Froggy Exchange sent to Vicky L

Now that I know that Vicky over at Nutmegger Stitchers Works received the exchange I sent to her, I thought I'd post a picture.  I picked up the little stuffed frog at a local craft mall, the froggy button from JoAnn's and the floss is from my LNS.

Since we had to pick a froggy themed piece I chose to stitched "MistleToad" by LizzieKate.  This was my first time finishing as an ornie this way and I did learn a couple things along the way.  I found that I should probably use 2 layers of batting rather than just one for padding, and next time I think I'll use my hot glue gun or maybe buy the Aileens spray adhesive glue rather than the liquid glue.  All in all though, I thought it turned out pretty well.

What do you think?

Looks nice. I know every time I finish something I learn something new, or get better at it! Your first attempt looks great though!
