Making A Toy-a-Day (Or Blogging About It)

Toy-a-day is a seemingly pointless blog, based on a craft project, where a toy is made, or at least blogged, once a day for a year. You know, I kind of like the fact there is no point to it.
On viewing the site, it appears most of the toys are of the same basic design, but I also really like that too. The creator of Toy-a-Day seems to have lost his mojo a bit (should this trend read ‘85 day Long Papercraft Project’?) by day 85, but hey he’s only human.
