โ€œMyโ€ cranes arrived today. Now I need to think about where to abandon them.

This is going to be fun

I love your project!
And I am in awe of the time and effort you put into it.

If youโ€™re still looking for places to abandon them, I could spread some over here, where I live in Belgium. And perhaps I could ask my family in The Netherlands to help.
I donโ€™t do Instagram (or the big socials) though, could I still help?

I donโ€™t do the socials either, Iโ€™m just emailing my drop off photos :).

As long as you can take a pic of the abandoned crane and email or dm here you donโ€™t need socials.

Shoot an address via DM and Iโ€™ll add you to the list the more the merrier.

Mine should be โ€œflyingโ€ starting tomorrowโ€ฆ

Edit: Itโ€™s tomorrow and the first one flew the coop:



A kids/family concert celebrating the library summer reading events. (It got much more crowded after this was taken.)

Finshed tonight #199-219

I have a light week at work. So Iโ€™m going to try to get to 270. And make a memory quilt.

How lucky to find one of your cranes! I remember making this pattern for Amazon Warrior in Wales at the old site! It was one of my favorite blocks!

Do you have a way of getting feedback if someone wants to post anything when they find these? I have a separate email for RAK and have heard from people, which is fun!

I donโ€™t.

Thereโ€™s a hanging label on the back with my logo on it. If someone really wanted to, itโ€™s not a deep Google to find sloth003 online.

I thought about a sticker with the Instagram handle on it. But since they are left outside. And weather can be super unpredictable. Iโ€™d be concerned the ink would run away.

Abandonment #2 - Wheatley provincial park, near Leamington Ontario. The girls are choosing colour sequence order, lol.

Abandonment #4 Josรฉโ€™s restaurant in Leamington Ontario (the tomato capital of Canada!)


Iโ€™ll come back & reorient that upside down photo when Iโ€™m home at a computer.

There was a painting in the ladies room, felt like an artsy sort of place.

Aylmer had me scared for a second. But thatโ€™s a perfect spot.

We saw a guy with deliverance haircut & cowboy boots with spurs UNIRONICALLY! Then we found such a hippie shop in town. Radical mixing of styles & philosophy in these parts, wow.
