How appropriate! Frog is considered lucky in the Japanese culture & associated with the word "return" as in "return safely", when it's given to someone going on a trip - something like that, I think. Happy Mid-Autumn !
Trixi lives in Sydney, Australia. She has 4 kids, 1 husband and a cat. Trixi has been teaching craft and sewing to kids for the past 19 years. She loves swimming in the ocean, collecting shells and sea glass (and a million other things), hand quilting, beading, wandering through op shops and flea markets, designing sewing projects for kids and exploring the amazing range of craft blogs on the internet.
The German Jewish poetess Else Lasker-Schüler used to say that whether she was arranging coloured buttons or whether she was writing poems, it was all really one and the same. I always liked that comment. I think a lot of what I do is like that. When I'm making a quilt or beading a necklace I'm doing the same sort of thing - it's like writing a poem, it's just not a poem with words.
