We're Back!

We're baaaccckkk!!!! After 10 long, wet and mouldy months Crafty Frog has jumped back onto her lilypad and opened the doors again! Although Crazy Frog, as I have become known to all the Tradies over the last 10 months, is quite possibly a more appropriate name!!!

The shop is still very much a work in progress, and if you are happy to enter the doors knowing this, then we are happy to try and assist you. It will take some time to return the Frog to it's former glory, however it will return. Meantime a little patience and understanding while we are trying to set up is all that is required.

I look forward to once again welcoming you to Canberra's number one-stop Needlework shop."

Shop Flooding Update

The bricks and mortar shop is TEMPORARILY closed, due to ongoing problems caused by four floods of water at floor level! At this stage I hope to re-open by mid-May, although this is probably optimistic.

In the meantime if I can help you, please email me at laura@craftyfrog.com.au

I will be spending this enforced break to hopefully, finally get the website updated and running properly, a long overdue project. I will also be selling some stock through Ebay, so if you are after a bargain keep an eye out there for Seller Id crafty-frog (all lower case).

If you would like to receive updates regarding the shop including when items are placed on Ebay, email me and I will add you to the mailing list for this.
