Bessie the Bunny


I am a pattern tester for Stormy'z Crochet and recently had the opportunity to test out a new pattern. Miss Bessie the Bunny.

I made her up in greens so she could be dropped on St. Patrick's Day for The Toy Society. There hasn't been any mention of a mass drop on St. Patrick's day but I know I will be doing one.



I just love that little poofy tail she has :) This is a great pattern that works up nice and fast. I just love being a pattern tester!

Valentine's Day drop



Want to join in the fun? Check out The Toy Society blog.



I just think these hearts are adorable :) They were very fast and easy to make. I don't remember where I found the pattern though :( ( found it over here )

These are drops 3 & 4 for us. They were both dropped at the Lee County Library in Cape Coral, Florida.



Even Suzi gets in on the fun! She was trying very hard to grab those hearts and EAT them. She loves to chew on yarn and fiberfil. Not a very good idea.


It was Mandy's turn to decide where to leave a toy. She liked the bike rack out front of the library. I think this is the most bikes I have seen at the library.


I let Hubby chose where to drop the other heart. I suggested the new release shelf and he liked it. If I didn't help, he probably would have been walking around forever with the little guy. He said he came back 4 minutes later and it was GONE. For some reason he decided to check with the librarian to see if it was OK to do this. Of course...IT'S NOT! Come to find out is is highly illegal to leave anything in a government building. I guess that's part of the new security after 9-11. I understand the reasoning, but still.... The librarian wasn't very nice about it Hubby said. Oh Well, maybe she will find a toy and it will bring her some happiness.



When we left about 45 minutes later, the one at the bike rack was gone too :)


I love how the whole family gets all excited when I tell them we are doing another drop.

The Toy Society Toy Drop

Check out the other drops over at The Toy Society blog!















I recently made my first sock monkey. Well, it was supposed to be a monkey, but I put the ears on wrong (surprise ) and now it is just a sock creature. We left him at Jim Jeffers Park here in Cape Coral, Florida. I felt bad just leaving him on the bench, but there were lots of kids around to give him a new home. We saw a couple people look at him but they didn't pick him up. I guess people are just a bit more cautious now-a-days.

Alls I know is that I am hooked now. I'm hooked on making sock creatures and I'm hooked on doing toy drops for The Toy Society!
