charity: Linus In Spring Time
The April Linus meeting saw another round of amazing blankets donated by the ever gracious online crafting community!
Many of these awesome crafters are now looking for places to donate their awesomeness locally, which thrills me to no end!
Log Cabins For Linus and Go Get Granny were an unexpectedly huge success and while I’m not longer collecting individual blocks, I do hope to have all the ones I’ve received so far put together and donated to Linus by the end of May.
Can I do it? I sure hope so!
Made by Friends of Pren (pictured below!). They donated 8 fleece blankets.
This is what went out the door with me Saturday morning. What a haul!
Friends of Pren, who had a Linus Blanket making party!

I neglected to get a finished photo of this blanket, so here’s a sneak peak I posted to Twitter. You can see the full blanket in this TTMT. Blocks made by Mary, joined by me.
I also forgot to take a photo of this gorgeous blanket made from blocks that Janina donated, as shown by me in the above TTMT. I’m pleading sniffles for forgetting…I’ve been sick!
Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times to everyone that made Go Get Granny and Log Cabins for Linus such a huge success!

5 Minute Baby Booties
Well, okay, you’ve got me. Five minutes might be a bit of an exaggeration. Even so, I’d say 10-15 minutes tops to make these sweet little booties that I designed to accompany some loom knit baby hats I’ve been making to donate to a hospital where a friend works.
Make them for a baby you love or a baby in need!

sew awesome: The Princess
Being blessed with friends the way I am, I guess it’s no surprise that I have royalty on my side! This sewhooked Sew Awesome award is looong overdue and well deserved.
When I put the call out for for help with blankets for Linus, The Princess, aka Amber of Amber’s Originals, not only made and donated blankets to The Linus Connection, my favorite charity, she designed this brand new pattern just for Linus!
And then she posted it for everyone to share…for free.
The Texas Brick Blanket, from Amber’s Originals
I’ve been working on my very own version of this awesome blanket. The technique is different than anything I’ve ever crocheted and I just love the way it’s turning out!
My version, in progress.
Amber, you ROCK, thank you for sharing! See more of Amber’s original, creative and downright cool work here.
