Bridge and Beyond on Facebook

Are you on Facebook?  If so, have you joined our Bridge and Beyond Facebook Group there?
If not, please do.  Posts from here are linked there to aid you staying current with what's going on with Bridge and Beyond.  Thank you's and notices of donations received are also posted there.  When I can post there to let you know your donations arrived, I can do several at one time vs sending separate emails so it saves me time...let's you know sooner generally.  This blog will always be the primary source of information, items with their own tabs etc vs wading through posts there to find something; but..........it gives us another presence and helps build more awareness.

Visiting the blog, posting comments, visiting and posting and liking on facebook are all helpful and things you can do in between stitches...hint hint.  Some folks are on facebook who don't blog which also makes it helpful.

Are you a follower here on the blog?  If not, please become one; that's also helpful.

Please check the tabs for items you wish to make to be certain the item you make is an appropriate size, and color.  Remember pastels aren't a good idea, stay clear of white and ivory's tan's etc.  Is your fiber appropriate?  Anything requiring special attention ie. wool or specialty yarns that need special laundry instructions is a NO NO.  Is your item warm, solid without open airy stitches?  Remember, we're trying to keep people warm.  When in doubt, please ask.  Post a comment here on the blog, leave a note in the contact form, post a question on facebook, or email at sandycrochet@gmail.com.

Please check back, I'll be posting a bit of change for our working calendar with the coming year in mind.

The photo is one I've shared on facebook, so it's possible you've already seen it; but as it's seasonally appropriate and I'm not a fan of posts without pictures thought you all might enjoy this.  AND........if any of you make this for your Thanksgiving Meal, please let me know.  Take a photo, I'd love to post everyone's pictures.

I now return you to your yarn, hooks, and needles.

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

Reaching out for more helping hands

While not a well balanced meal, it is calories. Calories is what gives us energy, calories are needed to help warm our bodies. So, rather than eat calories I don't need; I packaged this candy into the last donation right along with our hats, scarves and mittens, and personal care items for our folks under the bridge. Rae said it would be a nice treat.

Several weeks ago while doing on line searches I came across a couple of webpages/blogs with listings of charities. I sent emails with our link hoping to spread the word about our cause and obtain some more helping hands. You really can't have too many, the needs are so great. I did hear back from one and am thrilled to report we are listed! Check it out, and thanks Lisa (webmaster) for the listing. If you're aware of other such directory type listings, please let me know.

In the meantime, keep those hooks and needles flying, all is appreciated. Thanks!

**Check back often for updates, and pictures of each other's handy work. Next up, hats from Bunny
