I wasn’t able to make the Project Linus Starbucks night this month, but I popped in to drop off blankets and pick up some prepared fleece. All were abuzz about how Harry Porterfield of CBS News came to visit with his news crew. Here… Continue Reading “Press for Project Linus”
CBS Sunday Morning ran a great little story about a photographer in Dallas that started taking glamour shots of dogs awaiting adoption with a local rescue: http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/atlantis2/cbsnews_player_embed.swf Now, granted, dachshunds are probably an easier gig that pitbulls or rottweilers.

This will go down in history as the Blanket I Made While my Mother Was in the Hospital (Part 1). I finished most of the centered, with the variegated yarn, the first time she was in. After that, it was too big, so I… Continue Reading “Blanket 49”
