Special thanks too Sheelagh for tagging the hats with size, it's greatly appreciated.

Crocheted Hats from Louisiana Warm Those in Need in Ohio

Thank you Sandie P for your thoughful donation of 3 crocheted hats, and for your long term and on going support of Bridge and Beyond.  The hats are navy, not purple, but sometimes those two colors just don't show up right in photo's...I've never known why, they just don't, at least not for me.  Sandie hails from the warm state of Louisiana, where she's often enjoying sunshine as she thinks about those in cold Ohio in need of help.  I think that's pretty special.  It's so easy when we're comfortable to forget others aren't.

Many thanks Sandie, please keep up the good work.  And a second thank you for tagging your hats with size, much appreciated.

**Folks remember darker solids work best for men, women, and children.  Solids often blend in better, and show less dirt then pastels, and bright colors who have limited ability if any to do laundry.  Those living out in the elements really prefer the dark solids, as they don't like to call attention to themselves in bold, or bright colors and designs.**

Knitted Helps Mid Ohio Homeless

If you're like me seeing even that wee bit of sun floating into the picture from window is pretty exciting.  It's been cold, pretty damp and gray most of the days of late.  Sun is always welcomed, as is this wonderful donation of knitted slippers, matching hat and mittens, and cotton washcloth from Jenny C, a fellow Buckeye.  Many thanks for the special delivery, and for adding the size tags to your mittens, hat, and slippers.  

Jenny is our newest pair of helping hands, we're thrilled to have you join us Jenny and look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.  Please keep up the good work.

I'm especially happy to see another pair of mittens....truly, I'll get pretty excited folks!
