Toy Society Drop #3

I was worried I wouldn’t get an opportunity to make this drop in time for Easter, but I was able to sneak it in last minute – woohoo!

Crochet Easter Bunny Peeps – I found the pattern on Ravelry.com (Thanks, Amanda – I forgot I had signed up!)

I dropped these little guys off on a bench inside of the Great Mall in Milpitas near a kid’s play area.

Hope they find a nice home soon!

Toy Society Drop #2

Made my second toy drop this past Friday (this was before the aforementioned creepy lurker incident when life was simpler and times were happier).  I tied a cute little cupcake to the side door of a tutoring center in Sunnyvale, CA across from Fremont High School.

Hope someone takes this little one home and sends a snapshot of its adoption…

Creepy Lurker

Dear Friends,

As I was checking out and taking photos of the progress of our home addition in the backyard tonight, I saw this creepy lurker’s hand pulling down a palm frond from our tree outside of our side yard as if he was using it to leverage himself to peek over our fence:

Like an idiot, I shouted, “HELLO?!” and scared him away instead of waiting for my money shot of him popping over my fence since I had my camera pointed right in his direction.  I shouted to Christian and had him look over the fence as the guy ran away and hopped in his car.  I threw my arm with camera in hand over the fence that I couldn’t see over and shot the picture in hope of capturing his ugly mug.  Well, the above was all I got and it was dark.  Thank goodness for  the magic of  Lightroom, but it still isn’t a clear shot of what this creeper looks like.

I don’t know what he was doing for sure or what his motive was for even being by our side yard fence, but whatever it was, it was not for any good purpose because the dude scurried away because he knew he was doing something shady.

See a creepy guy driving an old, white CRV? Slash his tires and get that money shot for me, would ya? Thanks.

Sleeplessly  Yours,

sleepyeve

Toy Society Drop #1

Thanks to a posting by a Facebook friend a few days ago, I made my way into joining The Toy Society (www.thetoysociety.blogspot.com) and made my first drop today. Read all about the purpose and how it all works on the Toy Society page.  See below for the handmade bunny I made this weekend and dropped off today.  I tied the toy to the doorknob of a kindergarten classroom at a local church that was hosting a great event called the Empty Bowls fundraiser to raise  money for helping the homeless.  It was perfect.  Now to hope that my lovely bunny finds its way into a loving home.

It was fun and it made me feel good.  Great way to end my weekend
