Toy Society Drop
Rudy the Rectangle is a quick crochet toy that I made for the Toy Society. Love this cute, little pattern at http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/80735AD.html
I used some stash cotton yarn and a size G hook. Quick, easy, and cute!
Mr. Rectangle was last seen patiently awaiting a playmate to retrieve him and take him home. He's at a pretty, little red shrub near the parking lot at Garden Acres Park in Longmont, CO. I hope by now there is a child who is having fun with this little toy.

Dogs on Thursday
Lovely Miss Lailah lounges on her pillow/toy. She loves to do battle by dragging it around and fighting it! When she tires of it, she simply lies on it to relax. Note her frog-legs position--so funny!

The Toy Society
The following statement is from http://thetoysociety.blogspot.com/
Scrappy Snake was dropped at a park to wait for a playmate to find him. He is crocheted from scrap yarn.
Belonging to "The Toy Society" is a true blessing! I made my very first drops yesterday and felt sooo stealth. Like no one would see a gray-haired lady of some girth with her beautiful Boxer bouncing around on the end of a leash!! I did wear sun glasses, after all. I quite enjoyed the entire experience after a few tense moments when a police car was behind me. Did someone notice that I was driving to the parks? Did they note the plastic bags I left behind? Am I appearing suspicious rather than my imagined stealth? The officer’s right hand turn solved all of that, but there was that lady getting her mail. Was she watching me? Ah, the thrill of it all! Most importantly, I hope there are four children enjoying three bunnies and a scrappy snake who were waiting to be discovered.
"About The Toy Society

Three bunnies were knit with worsted weight yarn. This bunny is waiting in the gazebo at City Park.

My first drop was at a large park where I left a Bunny to ride the bouncy animal. I still haven't quite decided 
what that animal is! A squirrel? The final drop was to leave the last Bunny on the climbing wall at a park on the other side of town.
