For a Community Service Project , our family has chosen to make blankets for project linus....

http://www.projectlinus.org/

Project Linus collects blankets made by volunteers, and donate these blankets to children who are ill or have been traumatized and could benefit from a blanket to snuggle with; A gift of love to lift their spirits and to remind them that they are cared for.

I can think of several of my friends who are always looking for service opportunities, and most of them are very crafty, so this seems right up their ally. The website has patterns for different blankets you can make.

ummmmm...... we will be making the no sew blanket, because, while I have many friends who are accomplished crafters, me.... not so much. So, NO SEW it is!

I hope you will join us!

(If you decide this might be something your family would enjoy doing , maybe you could shoot us an e-mail with a picture of the blanket. I know the kids would love to see them!..thanks!)
