Almost Famous

One of the blogs that I follow is called Crazy Little Projects.  A really fun thing that this blogger has been doing is a Sew Crazy Monthly Challenge that gives readers sewing projects to try each month.  This has been a lot of fun all year and April's theme was "Showering the Young Ones You Love."  Several ideas were given to sew for young ones in your lives but there were also ideas of places to donate items that had been sewn.

One of the ideas to sew was a blanket for an organization called Project Night Night. This organization gives blankets, books, and stuffed animals to children who are homeless.  I'm always looking for a reason to sew, and this seemed like the perfect one.

So with a seam and a prayer I sewed a small blanket to send to Project Night Night.  I hope that it can bless a young child who is in an undesirable situation.  Before I took the blanket to the post office to be sent away, I snapped a picture of it and sent an e-mail to Amber at Crazy Little Projects notifying her that I was sending a blanket in because she wanted to try to keep a tally of the number of items donated to the different organizations through this challenge.  Guess what happened from there?!?

I checked the blog this weekend and this is what I found...

My blanket scrolling through the pictures at the top of the blog!

Then I scrolled down a little bit and my blanket is also the picture that accompanies the actual blog post that recaps the month of sewing.

And then when you actually get into the blog post, my name accompanies my picture.

So cool!  But the coolest thing is that I was able to help someone else while enjoying a fun sewing project.
