Hats off to those who Donate

Woot woot, look at these fabulous hats, both crocheted and knitted from our friend Maureen. Yes...you did just see a donation from her a few days ago. I read the label on the 2nd package carefully thinking I had confused myself. lol These hats are awesome, so nice and soft and warm. Nice color combinations too Maureen. Many thanks. We appreciate you and your skillful hands. Please keep up the good work.

Donations from the State of Vermont

Awesome warm crocheted slippers from the skillful hands of Maureen, whom some of you may know as Warrior Librarian over on Rav. I love the variety in size and so appreciate you labeling them what size they are. I know that's appreciated at the various family shelters as well. Maureen has also included a tube of toothpaste and toothbrush. Personal care items are always a bonus, along with 2 scarves.

Maureen hails from the state of New Hampshire.

Many thanks Maureen for your thoughtful donation. Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond, please keep up the good work.

Donations from The Granite State

Maureen, our newest pair of helping hands hails from the state of New Hampshire, known as The Granite State. In it's past it had a huge industry in quarrying Granite. Maureen, we're thrilled to have you and your skillful hands join us with your crocheted donations of 12 washcloths and 14 rain poncho's. Both are greatly appreciated. Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond. You might know Maureen as Warrior Librarian from RAV where she heads a group called Crochet for Charity.

I love how nicely sized your cotton cloths are, and thanks so much for making some for the men folk with the browns. Please keep up the good work.

**Asking you all to hold mailing squares for the time being. I have a large supply on hand, and need to free up some space before accepting anymore. Just lay them aside for the time being. After making up a few more ghans, I'll design a few more and will sing out to let you all now. Thanks.**
