Loomed Hats Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Connor!  Connor W from Nevada is our newest pair of helping hands.  We're thrilled to have you helping us Connor with your loomed hats.  Love the nice dark colors, truly the best for Homeless.  Hats are probably the biggest thing that can make a difference in how warm someone is....or the lack of one and how cold.  Hats help to insult the whole body, help to keep a head dry from rain, sleet, snow etc.

While our daytime temperatures here in Ohio can still be quite comfortable, the nights have already become uncomfortable.  We've already nights registering barely 50.  50, when you're living in the elements can be very uncomfortable so our hats, scarves and more are already in need.

Please that we've been able to get a nice large donation down to the Homeless Family Foundation before true Fall hits.  Thank you all for all you do.

Help me Welcome Connor to Bridge and Beyond.  Please keep up the good work Connor.  We hope to see you here often!

Pictures of Donations for the Homeless After Being Hacked!

 If you read yesterday's post (and if not PLEASE PLEASE do), you know I was hacked and have been without the ability to use my computer and post for sometime.

 To give you an idea of what wonderful donations have been pending.  I'm posting these pictures, which will all be discussed in subsequent blog posts.

As note in yesterday's post, some pictures were stuck on my computer without my ability to get to them, others stuck in my camera without the ability to load them anywhere.

 Almost all of these wonderful donations had already been bagged for delivery.

 A few have come while I was working through the issues.

And, as we'll be catching up....thought you'd enjoy seeing all these wonderful knitted, crocheted, and loomed goodies!

 Our weather here as already started to turn.  August in fact might have been one of the coldest I can remember.  Ohio August's are always referred to as the dog days of summer.  Not this year.  The last several weeks of the month we had many mornings with temps in the 50's, which is just crazy.

 And now for the last month, we thought we might have what in this area is referred to as Indian Summer....once the kids get back to school it gets super hot.  NOPE, that didn't happen either.

 While we've not had frost yet, we have had lots of fog that last several mornings.  Could barely see out the window this am and it didn't clear til around 10:30 am.  Strange weather indeed.  Though mind you, we're not having floods, or hurricanes, or tornado's or earthquakes, or wild fires and for that, I am very grateful.

The fabulous donations are from:

Melinda G, Emily K, Sandie P, Sandra R, Connor W, Karen S, and Joy D.  Not necessarily in that order folks, just reading from notes.

Please know all your donations are very much appreciated.  AND please keep coming back to the blog to see the blog posts with your goodies.

Again Thank you all for your patience.  AND again, if you didn't read yesterday's post PLEASE do.  I want you all to be informed.

Also folks, thought it was time for a new look so have changed the layout, and theme/color of the blog a bit.  Hope you like it.
