While he was being made, I named him Pickle. He sat on the bookcase for a couple of days, and I knew that if he was going to be dropped somewhere, I had to do it soon, before I got too attached.
This morning, I packed him into a bag, with a note and a tag inviting people to take him. I left for work a bit early, and hung him outside a local school, waiting for a small person to find him on their way in:
Although the pavement was empty and the roads quite quiet at 8:10 when I was hanging him there, I felt quite nervous, but excited. I hope he makes someone's Monday.

Heather, what a wonderful idea! I'm no good at making toys but this "movement" is inspiring me to be brave and give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jace, yes, do give it a go. I can try to do a little step by step on how I do mine over the next couple of weeks if you like?
Also, hereis my wist tags of toy/stuffie tutes, and Softie Making is a great site.
I've never tried making a toy before, and the links you provided are absolutely helpful. Thanks! :D I think I may try to make an amigurumi. :) We'll see what happens.
