"Head...Shoulders...Knees and...SOCKS!"

I'm still wanting to figure out what to do in order to give my part to the victims of Katrina.  I'm a crafty gal, so I wanted to make something rather than just contribute financially.   I received an email from a friend with a list of ways to help.  Included on the list is the group Project Linus.

They are an entirely volunteer non-profit organization whose mission is "to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the  gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteers."

So emboldened by my monkey quilt, I figured that I could make some blankets for these kids in need.  I found a really easy pattern (MUCH easier than Av's quilt!) and got in touch with the local chapter leader who is sending me the details.  I'm very excited to get things started, and now have to go through my fabric pile and see what I've got in there, or what I will need to get.  I think I've got some great unused killer robot and retro cars fabric.

Nothing like another excuse to go to G Street!
