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:

	Yarn donations, any type
	Granny's daughter motifs, approximately 1½" to 1¾" in size (Click here for easy instructions)
	Crocheted or knitted 7" x 9" Warm Up America! rectangles in any color, pattern, and yarn weight
	Crocheted or knitted squares in any size, color, pattern, and yarn weight

IMPORTANT NOTE: I can only accept finished items that can be machine washed and dried. However, I can accept actual yarn donations of hand-wash-only yarns, which will be used to make items for military personnel abroad. Thank you!

Recently Completed State: Vermont Current State in Progress: Ohio Afghans Completed: 34 This beautiful afghan consists of squares I received during a granny square swap a few years ago. The swap was called "Fancy Flower Swap" as each square has some sort of flower pattern. Each square is 7 inches and the afghan measures 42" x 60". The yarn to assemble the afghan was all donated.

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.
