This little nut brown bunny was a prototype when I was working on the this pattern. Even though she didn't make the final cut for the pattern, I've loved having her sitting around my craft room to make me smile. Now, the time had come to spread the joy! 'Tis the season for joy-spreading you know.
I have had a Toy Society drop on my to do list for quite a while, and I was happy to have the opportunity recently. I was scheduled for my first mammogram (ugh) and the imaging place is in the same building with a large women's OB/GYN practice.
I figured that would be a good place to spread some diapered bunny love. There are lots of women going in and out who are expecting, and lots of women who might need bucking up after having to smash their boobs in a vise.
So I arrived before my appointment and I took the elevator even though my stop was on the first floor. No one was inside the elevator, so I feverishly tied the toy bag to the hand rail as the elevator went to the top and to the bottom again. I snapped a picture as I got off the elevator, and not a soul in sight. Anonymous drop, check.
After my own poor mams had been duly smooshed and radiated, I checked the elevator and voila, brown bunny was gone. I hope she brought someone some unexpected joy today.
If you are interested in participating in the Toy Society, you can sign up on their blog. They are currently organizing a World Wide Christmas Toy Drop!
Postscript: I checked their flickr group, and my entry was already blogged. Whoo!
I simply love the idea of dropping toys. I wonder if we have anything like that in Denmark.
ReplyDeleteLucky is the mom and child who gets to get your wonderful, little, brown bunny. It was beautiful... :))
I had better have a look at the current Christmas toy drop.
That is an awesome idea! How thoughtful!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! The idea behind the Toy Society is simply wonderful. I hope to participate someday. It's on my big list.

PS. Hope everything came out fine with your mammo.
what an adorable bunny-- i'm *sure* that there is a very happy person out there now!
ReplyDeleteSoooo sweet!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea!! Thank you for sharing the link.
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly lovely idea - thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour description of a mammogram is hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh today!
ReplyDeletethanks, everybody. It makes me smile thinking of this bunny making someone else smile.
ReplyDeleteJessabells, thanks for the good wishes, it was my first mammo. Just routine, so I join you in hoping it is all good!
Katie, you have to laugh about them or you might cry. I can't decide what was worse, having to contort my body to that degree, or having the technician present to wrestle my boobs in position. To say the very least, it is undignified.
Great idea!Your bunny is so cute!I have still your great pattern here and I must try it out!
ReplyDeleteI've really been wanting to do this! There's a really lucky person out there to have found one of your sweet bunnies. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI saw the Toy Society before and I think it is a great invention.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't made a Bunny yet and my sewing machine is not working now (sigh that before Christmas). But once it is working and all presents are ready I WILL make one and let you know.
I've been watching the Toy Society drops for over a year now, and this adorableness of a bunny is one of the very prettiest drops I've seen! Someone will be thrilled to have her, I am sure! I am going to join the Christmas drop for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing to do. I'm sure you just made someone's day when they found that cute little rabbit that they got to claim as their own!
ReplyDeletenk you for introducing me to the Toy Society, I might just have to try this :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love how you did your drop! That's so darn sweet and the lucky recipient has someone extra special to keep them company now.
ReplyDeleteIt's cute!!!! I love it
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! I'd never heard of it and am SEW excited to drop a toy!
ReplyDeleteI like your blog so much I added it to my Google Reader, despite vowing not to go putting any more blogs on my reader. You're very good.
ReplyDeleteMan, I wish that had been me to get in the elevator next :). What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteY'all are ALL so sweet, thanks very much for the swell comments. I'm missing my blog! I'm missing my craft mojo! I'm glad to be in physical therapy though. And glad to have you guys to spread some cheer.
ReplyDeleteAnd Kathryn, I'm flattered to have made the A-List on your Google reader. :-) I really appreciate it!
That is soooooo sweet and generous of you! BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteLove the Toy Drop idea!! Cute toy too!!
