That's awesome. This would be the third time today God has sent to me about helping others, so I guess I better figure out what it is he wants me to do before he hits me over the head with it. I'm pretty hard headed, so that's what it takes sometimes, lol. I think it' terrific that you have a giving spirit.

from www.projectlinus.org:

As Charles Schulz’s Linus character from the PEANUTS® comic strip was comforted by his blanket, Project Linus strives to do the same and more for children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. The blankets our nearly 400 chapter coordinators collect from thousands of “blanketeers” (volunteers) across the United States and then distributed to these children provide love, a sense of security, warmth, and comfort.

The blankets are made by volunteers and can be one of three sizes, newborn, crib, twin, and made of crochet, knit, fleece, or quilt. You should take a look at the website, there's a lot of very touching stories there.

As to my own project... the dog fur has arrived! The downside is that the staple (the length of each fiber) is very short, about an inch, and I'm not 100% sure how to spin it. Never worked with anything this short before. I may mix in just a tiny bit of regular wool (which is 3-5 inches) to make it easier to handle.

I'm an Advocate

I love this idea I use to make quilts and sew all the time but havent done it in a long time makes me want to start sewing again. I think its great you are doing this.
My mom use to say God dont like ugly and he aint to fond of pretty. Wow that speaks loudly to me.

What we go through in life dont dictate who we are going to be or who we are only we have the control over our lives to do that. Never give up and always follow your dreams.

I am not a doctor and my advice is purely from my own experiences. I will always be here for you all if you need me just pm me anytime.
