Toy Society Drops

I'm ashamed to admit it's been nearly a year since I've done a drop for The Toy Society.  When several of the girls in my sewing group decided to participate in a Halloween weekend drop, it was the  perfect opportunity to get back in the swing of it. I managed to drop two handmade toys while Mark and I were at a local flea market. With so many people milling around, it was hard to be covert, but I managed.

The first drop was another of my robots, yes-I'm a tad obsessed.



 Funny, I was so worried about being spotted dropping this guy, but he hung around unnoticed for quite some time! We visited the building where I dropped him first thing and went back to that building(for vintage hankies)about four hours later and he was still there! We checked again after the hanky buying excursion and he was gone. Yay!

The next drop, was this guy. A mini version of Lars. He's OK, but I think I'll go back to making the larger ones the next time.

I don't know how long the mini-monster stuck around. It was probably an hour later when we walked back by the stone bench where I left him. He was gone.

 I hope they found a good home or at the very least, made someone smile!

Want to spread a little hand made love? Head on over to The Toy Society for more information about this fantastic project.

Blah Blah Blog

I haven't been in a very bloggy mood lately. What I have been is lazy and running waaaay behind. I'd hoped to have had about 20 aprons ready to take to an art/craft fair/flea mkt. at the local Mule Day celebration on May 1st. Right now I have 10 made. I'm so slow at sewing and I get distracted VERY easily. Honestly, if I get 20 done, it'll be a miracle. Still, the booth only cost me 25 bucks, so I figure if I sell a couple of aprons I'll have my money back and it should be a fun day. It's all good.

Despite it's awesome name (Material Girls) the sewing group we started at school didn't really pan out like I had hoped. We all wanted to come home at the end of the day instead of staying at school for sewing time! All is not lost, however, because I've joined a new local sewing group. This new group is going to be awesome. The gals are all young and energetic with lots of good ideas that they freely share. I'm excited!

So that's it. My house is a complete pit and I need to look past and ignore the dirt and sew sew sew aprons for Mule Day. "Sew", I'm out for a while.
