Sharing Squares; Sharing Ourselves

Productivity.  Charity.  Crafty.  What to these things have in common?  More than might meet the eye, but let's not go into all the nuances right now.  For now, it's enough to realize that they're closely related to success.  While we're all here, now is the best time to bring up the reason I mentioned them in the first place.

Shelly Kneupper Tucker at This Eclectic Life recently started Share A Square, a project to give afghans to kids with cancer.  Projects need people, people with the initiative to see things through.  Most of us are one of them.

Check out Shelly's post, Searching for People With Big Hearts, for the details; I'll give the short story right here.

The project is an inspired whim for as many people as possible to make as many granny squares as possible to make blankets.  We make them and send them to Shelly in Texas.  She hands them to other wonderful people who sew them together.  The finished blankets go to a camp for kids with cancer, Camp Sanguinity, in Fort Worth, Texas.

If many people make one, no one person need make many.  Can't crochet?  How about knitting?  Neither?  Well, if you have a blog, I know you can write; a post to spread the word would be contribution enough.

For current information, go to the Share A Square Ongoing Update Page at This Eclectic Life.  And, in case you were wondering, I'm crocheting as well as writing.

Also (while I'm here), I'd be remiss if I didn't thank Rick Cockrum at Shards of Consciousness for starting talk of this great project in some of his circles.  Thanks Rick.

You're the (wo)man, Carolyn!

(For some reason I had to rescue your trackback from my spam bucket.)

Thanks Rick. I'll treasure that compliment. :)

Maybe the trackback being captured as spam is why Movable Type kept telling me there was a problem sending it. So I sent it again; were there two hiding there?

No, Carolyn. There was only one hiding.

Well, then, it goes into the mystery file.
