Florida Stitches Help Ohio Homeless

Thank you Cynthia B and Juli B....these scarves are a continuation of their donation posted on November 1st.  I mentioned they had more, but generally try to minimize the number of pictures here on this blog, Bridge and Beyond.

Again scarves with lots of different colors, same crocheted width-wise and tohers lengthwise.  Notice some more Buckeye Scarves!  Those are always a hit.  These ladies teamed up with their crocheting, what a nice way to connect with people.

Thank you Cynthia and Juli, please remember to pack some sun next time, lol.  Yes, they are from The Sunshine State and it's only early November and I'm already tired of the frost and cold.  Please keep up the good work.

Crocheted Duo in Florida Aid Homeless in Ohio

 Crocheted scarves, headbands, and cotton wash cloths!!

 Look how many different colors and sizes are available in this very generous donation from Cynthia B and Juli B!  Awesome work ladies from the sunny state of Florida.  Some scarves are made side to side and others are crocheted lengthwise.

Some...even look like Buckeye Colors in this picture!!  LOVE the one on the far right.  All are great, but I like how that one is almost solid.....but bold with color at the same time.  

Well done ladies!  Keep up the good work and know you're making a difference here on Bridge and Beyond.  We've had over a week of frost at night, and a few nights below freezing temps already.  I fear it's going to be a long cold winter.  

Folks take a look at our totals, look at the graphs....things are growing.  Do your best and will keep plugging away at those goals.

**psssssssss, please check back in, these picture do NOT represent the whole donation from Cynthia and Julie!!  Stay tuned.

Hats, Scarves and Cotton Cloths from Sunny Florida Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Cynthia B and Juli B for this thoughtful donation.  I love that the two of you from sunny Florida put your skills together to help those in need here on Bridge and Beyond.  I love team work!  We're thrilled to have you and your helping hands.

Extra thanks for adding sizing tags to your hats.  

Folks please click the picture to enlarge so you can see details and colors better.  The scarves also have size tags and are folded.  You may not see that they are scarves with them being so nicely folded......and in some cases paired with matching hats to make lovely gift sets.

They have also included 6 cotton washcloths in their donation for Ohio's Homeless.

We're chipping away at our goal folks.  With 16 days left in the calendar year (though remember I traditionally don't close the year until all donations received by the end of year get blogged about and sometimes that goes into a week or two in January), we would need about 10.6 hats per day and 8.6 scarves per day to hit our goal of donating the same number that we donated last year.  I don't know how close we'll get,  but....please keep checking in to see.

Many thanks Cynthia and Juli, we hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.
