      In my "free time," I like to crochet blankets to donate to Project 
Linus.  Project Linus provides blankets to children who are hospitalized due 
to illness or trauma.  Volunteers donate handmade blankets created by 
quilting, crocheting, knitting or sewing.  More information is available on 
their web site at:
