I sent out my first batch yesterday! Included were 6 crocheted rolls of crayons with 12 coloring books, a finger bowling set with a knitted bag, 2 stuffed animals that were won via the crane game, and one purchased truck. I just finished a small crocheted bird and a big headed bear that will make it into the next package. Pics to come soon!

Just REALLY busy!

 

I am still working on the patterns to offer up... so far, I DO have a deer pattern worked out.

Still to come... a bunny, and a skunk for the forest friend pattern set!

I am excited to get it done...now....can anyone send me a few more hours in the day?? :)

Ok.. this is for you, the faithful toy makers!

 

Here is a quick snap of my pattern in progress. I still have some work to do on this set... but the main 3 animals are for the most part, complete. I am going to add a flower to the skunk, and pin its tail up to its head.

 

Pattern is in the process of being wrote up too.

 

I am going to finish up this one, then work on the next.

 

Soooooooooooo.... what do you think?!?!?

They are adorable! I have some purchased stuffed animals for you and 2 crocheted with more planned to be done. When do you want them by? I will need to get your address again as I don't think I kept it from last year.

Thanks,

Wendy

The toy drive hasnt even officially kicked off...no rush!!

 

I collect toys until sometime in August.

I still need to set up a date with Stephanie at the U of M.

 

I am so sorry it took me so long to share with you all what I have in the works!!

I have been crazy busy!

Deadlines are coming at me faster and faster lately!!

 

Once I nail down a date, I will let you all know!

 

I do plan on doing one more pattern up before I 'officially' kick off the toy drive!

Thanks!

Hats, purses...totes...great for kids in the hospital!

I have had blankets come in too....more great ideas. :)

 

August is going to be on us before I know it..... I will have to take a picture of what I have already had sent to me too! I think I can fill a few boxes already.

 

Hubby just donated a small box of Snap On Tools match box cars... the little boys are going to love them...(not to mention the dads!)

I just wanted to clarify this for everyone...this is not just for toys/amis. Bookmarks, afghans, hats, coloring books, crayons, etc....it all counts.

 

I will try to update the first page shortly but things are super crazy right now.

 

Everyone is welcome to join and set your own goal/donation. :hook

I just went through this site. Lots of really cute things. I am way behind on my pledge, but confident I will make it on time. I really love this drive and the opportunity to make toys for kids. I try to give at least 2 new toys to the Toys for Tots every year (I buy them)

The deadline will be sometime in August.

I havent set a date yet...but will within the next few weeks or so.

 

The patterns I do up are free when a toy is donated to my toy drive!

 

I am working as fast as I can to get a few whipped up to show you guys. :)

So far, ....eh...so good.

Things have slowed down for me, so I have been able to work on the patterns a bit more than I have in the last few months.

I wanted to do this last year, bought a few supplies to make some crayon purses and then ran out of time. I decided this week I needed to sneak at least one in between projects. I finished a crayon purse yesterday. Yeah! I'm going to try and get a few more done before August.
