Hookers Wanted:

C'mon?! I live two-blocks from the main road into a Naval Base...do you really think I'd need to advertise HERE for *that* kind of hooker??!

And, no, we aren't looking to start our own Rugby team, either.

What we need are CRAFTERS - crocheters, more precisely. Now, much to my Gram's chagrin, I do NOT crochet (or knit, or needlepoint, or...) BUT....

See, Shelly over at This Eclectic Life has a wonderful idea, that I want to help come to fruition.

Here’s my idea. I’ve found a granny afghan pattern that is very simple. It requires 24 small squares and 6 large squares, but it could work with just 48 small squares. If I can get people to send me the crocheted squares, then I’ll ask folks in my community to put them together; I’m not shy. With every square you send, attach a signed “best wishes” card (you can give an e-mail address to the child if you want). Each afghan will be put together with squares and good wishes from at least thirty different people.

Now...doesn't that sound like a FABULOUS idea??!!! When the afghans have been completed, they will be donated to Camp Sanguinity in Fort Worth Tx, a children's camp for kids with cancer. All the squares are to be sent to Shelly, who will put 'em all together and get them to the kids (all the details are on Shelly's blog, in THIS POST, and I'll add a link in my sidebar so it's oh-so-simple to join in the fun.)

So, I implore you: Be a Hooker - Do it for the kids!!
