Something to Craft For

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted but it's not my fault i swear. Really. You can blame it on a a freak storm that left thousands of people in my area with out power. I had to suffer a week with out power. The horror!! The real kicker was the heat index was at an average of 106 all week. I looked at the temp. at midnight one night and it turned out to be 91 degrees. AT NIGHT!!!! Sorry but thats just wrong. But just because I had no power that doesnt mean that I wasn't crafting. Nope. And this time it's super important that I get it done.
I was passing time on all free crochet.com (i will tell you guys about it later) when I found out that they are have a sort of fundraiser but instead of looking for money they want home made blankets. They are doing this for a charity called Project Linus (you know like linus from charley brown). The idea is that they want people to donate these homemade blankets to give to kids that need to stay in the hospital for long periods of time. They think that if a kid has the blanket they will have something keep with them so they know that some one cares. Plus it will give them something that is all theirs in the hospital. Anyone who has been in a hospital knows they arent very homey either. I think this is a great cause so I have started working on a few blankets to send. You can send a blanket to Project Linus at any time. All you have to do is look Project Linus on google and get directed to the website. But allfreecrochet.com is having a little rafle for the people who send the blankets through them. You will be entered for a crochet bag some yarn and lots of other little thing. The blankets through allfreecrochet are due by July 15. I'm sorry for the short notice but it was a suprise to me to. And if you dont see this in time i still urge you to make a blanket for Project Linus. The blankets dont have to be super fancy anything that you can make for them will be apreciated. I will post the link at the bottom of the post. Happy crafting,
alex
