Frog Scissor Hunting

Two thrift store visits, no luck.  Hope to go to this antique place on Saturday.  Can't believe I am so in need of finding one.  Tried to look through a couple of boxes from my mom's, but no luck there either.

Thanks to my friend Dani I have lots of good scissor advice.

http://www.mikeusa.com/Gingher-list.aspx I've picked up scissors here and there there are plenty of fancy handled cheapies out there nowadays. This shop has a great variety of scissors I've never ordered from them but heard good things http://www.anitalittlestitches.com/scissors.html

And from Minnie Scissors and Frogs The Great Scissors Scamper
And from Meari Scissors and Frogs

I just have to be careful not to start to gather up scissors the way I have floss, fabric and charts.

Frog

 

I have been cross stitching since 1988.  That is quite a long time.

It was just in 2009, I learned a new meaning.

 

From About.com

Definition: Frog or Frogging is a slang term used by stitchers to refer to removing stitches when you make a mistake. When you take a stitch out you have to rip it, rip it. Get it? 

 

Now in 2012 I have learned another

And not only I have learned about scissor frogs - I have learned there are so many wonderul different types of scissors.... WHERE HAVE I BEEN? So many of the blogs I read, you ladies have the greatest scissor frogs, and the greatest scissors....

 

My mom had one of these, but I know she did not put scissors in it, I am sure she used it for flowers.  I believe it is in one of the boxes of things I took from her house, stored in my basement, or if my sister has it?

 

I think I must have one of these, and I must have at least one pair of scissors that defines my personality.

 

Please share if you would, your favorite scissors, where you find them, and where you got your frog.

 

Is there any other ways Frog is used in cross stitching?

 

I am blessed to have learned all about frogs.
