Donations for Those Less Fortunate

Take a look at another awesome donation from our good friend Gail B from Virginia.  Gails has donated sandwich size zip log bags for Rae to use for her meal ministry.  She'll be thrilled to get these 500 bags along with the person care items.  In addition, Gail has crocheted cotton washcloths, scarves, and a hat...always wonderful.  She also donated some yarn.  Special thanks, and congrats on your new skill of crocheting in the round.  The hat is awesome and a perfect size.  I love it when people share how they've learned to do something new because of Bridge and Beyond.  I feel like that's a bonus we all get from encouraging and inspiring each other.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful donation, we all appreciate your on going support.

Taking Time to Help Those in Need, Priceless



Here's a wonderful donation from our good friend AnneMarie from New York.  AnneMarie hook's been busy making cotton washcloths, hats, and slippers.  Love the slippers Gail, what pattern did you use?  Love to add it to the slipper tab.  RoseMarie and I were just chatting the other day about a single crocheted vs double crocheted slipper as a means of making the slipper warmer and more sturdy.  Special thanks for tagging your hats and slippers with size!

AnneMarie also sent 2 dozen socks for both men and women, razors and forks.  Rae will be thrilled to have those items to help those she feeds that live outdoors!

Many thanks AnneMarie and please keep up the good work!

Busy hands are happy hands, and happy hands help people in need, thank you all for your on going support.  So many of you give so willing of your time and talents, I thank you all.

Sending Sunshine and Donations

Oh my goodness, I don't know what happened to this picture!  I wasn't aware that I moved, but something must have happened.  Sooooooo sorry it's soooooo blurry.  I did sharpening it a bit with the photo software.  This donation which in person is pretty, colorful and not blurry is from our friend Catherine W from the Sunshine State of Florida.  Thank you for your thoughtful donation and on going support.  Catherine crocheted hats, scarves, and 2 shawls.

Many thanks Catherine, please keep up the good work.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
