The Toy Society

As you can see I've been VERY busy with The Toy Society project I've recently joined.

I made these 10 bunnies to leave in as many places next time my Beloved is off work this week.

I hope each will warm someone's heart or give them a smile!

I've also cut felt for 10 more bunnies and plan to ask a friend working at Social Services to give them out to her "best customers" as part of The Toy Society idea.

And another 10 bunnies will be found in my Etsy Shop within the end of the month.

Do you think they will sell?

In order to avoid burning myself out on bunnies, I decided to take a small break from them.

Now that we finally have a printer I've printed out many different patterns I found online.

I can't wait to start using them!

I also plan to make a frog plush for my Beloved's adopted mother using the fabric she gave me.

I hope she likes it!

I still need to make a cute dress for my fabric doll and work on my BJD dolls.

Today I sent layway payment for a beige Ringo Pipos I hope to adopt by the end of February.

I've been drooling after a kitty Pipos for nearly 2 years!

I'm also expecting to receive my Tobby from Ajumapama by my Birthday in February.

I bet he's even cuter in person!

As you know I've recently started College and though the classes are online the amount of work is almost over-whelming.

So far I'm holding up and trying to keep ahead so I can continue my crafting without scrambling to catch up with school work.

The Toy Society

Today I want to write about a very beautiful and altruistic initiative I want to join.

It's called The Toy Society, a small project all about spreading love around the world with handmade toy gifts for strangers.

It started as a small street art project in Australia and is slowly spreading around the world.

When you sign up you get an email with all the instructions including a link with the letter to attach to the toy.

When a toy is found, it's hoped the finder will send a note to the society so they know where the toys end up.

Even if some people take ages to reply I think just knowing you've warmed someone's heart or given someone a smile with a small gesture is enough to spur any crafter into joining such a project.

I like the idea so much I've already decided I want to make at least 10 of my Angel Bunnies.

I chose the bunnies because they're simple so I can make many in less time. They're also cute+springlike which is always nice in Winter. I'll make them in different colors and materials.

My Beloved and I already came up with as many places to leave them at (once you start thinking of places it's hard to stop).

I decided to leave them in places where people are... needy, to brighten up their day.

Don't you think it's a lovely project?

I had tears in my eyes reading the emails of people who found the toys from the Project...

So I'll be working on this Project for the next few days then when I'm done I'll return to my personal ones.

I still need to make a cute dress for my fabric doll, after all!

Btw as of yesterday I'm officially a College student so though all my classes are online they'll take precedence over crafting.

Therefore please be patient as I won't have as much time to dedicate to my hobbies.
