Hello, and thanks for stopping by. My name is Paula and I'm a crochet and knitting enthusiast. Most of what I make is for charity. One of my favorite charities is Project Linus, a national charity with chapters in every state that distributes handmade blankets to sick or traumatized children.

I'm currently making an afghan for every state. If you would like to follow my progress, please stop by often and check the "What's New" box below and Paula's Blog.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP... I gladly accept the following:

Granny's daughter motifs, approximately 1½" to 1¾" in size (Click here for easy instructions)

Recently Completed State: New Jersey Current State in Progress: Nebraska Afghans Completed: 36 This gorgeous baby blanket was crocheted from a pattern called "Watercolors" in the book Quick-Stitch Crochet Afghans, published by House of White Birches. The afghan was made with Red Heart Baby Econo yarn in the colorway "Jack and Jill." The afghan was a pleasure to crochet as the pattern stitch was very easy but quite pretty. The afghan measures about 35" x 42".

In addition to being a Project Linus "blanketeer," I'm also a southern California satellite group coordinator for a wonderful charity called MIRACLES HAPPEN. Items for this charity can be sent to me at the above address.

MIRACLES HAPPEN is a network of volunteers who knit, crochet, and sew baby items for a newborn baby's early needs. These items are then distributed to crisis pregnancy centers and maternity homes. Visit the MIRACLES HAPPEN website for guidelines and patterns.
