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 !
I have been designing and teaching craft and hand sewing projects to children for the past 20 years. I love to quilt, crochet, cook and of course sew.

Why Coloured Buttons?
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.
It's so cute!!! I'm sure your friend was really pleased with the present :D
