Spreading Love and Donations from Minnesota to Ohio

 Thank you Barbara C from Minnesota for this awesome donation.  Barbara is our newest pair of helping hands.  Barbara sent two large boxes of crocheted goodies.  In order for you to see them all I spread what I could on my work table to take photographs, therefore

 you'll see several photo's of all different colors and sizes for hats, scarves, and headwarmers/headbands.  I never do know what to call them, as everyone uses a different term.  Must have something to do with our geographic location?  Think I've also heard them called ear warmers too?

 Barbara knows what's it like to be cold, after all she hails from the cold snowy state of Minnesota.  The hats will fit a variety of heads, children to adult.

Thrilled to have you join us Barbara and look forward to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.  Please keep up the good work.

Knitting and Crocheting to Help Homeless

Thank you Marie P from Tennessee for this thoughtful donation.  Not a good picture at all, darn it folks.  Marie's has donated some personal care items, a scarf, hat, and 3 pairs of socks.  The contrast in the black and orange seem to make it hard to see...that and it was a very dark gloomy day when I took the picture; not that we've many that haven't been.  

Thank you Marie for tagging the hat with size, I really appreciate that and know the volunteers at the shelters do too.

Mother and Daughter Team Work Makes it Happen

Thank you Roseann M from Pennsylvania for this thoughtful donation of crocheted hats for the kiddos.  Roseann is our newest pair of helping hands and we're thrilled to have her join us.  This pile of cute hats was "something" to do during this long cold winter.  Roseann's daughter, Stana found us on the internet and communicated about her mother having these hats and wanting to help.  How cool is that.  Team work.  Roseann with the hook in hand and Stana typing away on the internet.

22 Heads will now be warmer and happier thanks to this thoughtful donation.  Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond ladies.  Please keep up the good work.
