Go Fish, Crocheted Donations

Thank you Anne G for this thoughtful donation of crocheted cotton washcloths and always needed poncho's.  We've had a much colder and wetter June here in Ohio than is normal so the poncho's truly are needed.  LOVE the nice selection of colors and sizes you made for the washcloths, and those cute cute fish........have never seen them before.  Can you share the pattern you used for them?

Please keep up the good work, and know how much your donations are appreciated.

Priceless Therapy

LOL.........truly!  I nodded and smiled when I spotted this cute and sooooooooooo very true comic.  How bout you?  We hear all the time how good knitting and crocheting is for stress reduction, for keeping our minds active etc.  This just seemed perfect.

Can you relate?  I know I can.  As I think of all the time I spent at my Mothers bedside during her long 7 week hospital stay prior to her passing, I think without yarn in hand I would have lost it.  It truly was beneficial to me, soothing for me, and soothing for her.  She knew I was there, she didn't feel she had to talk, she could rest, but we could just be together.  It gave me something to focus on, to help me stay rational.

Donation for Ohio's Homeless from Japan

WOW...........this awesome donation comes to us all the way from Japan!  Our first ever donation from that country.  Many many thanks Romi M for this donation.  Folks the picture doesn't show the pretty blend of blue-green that the yarn is.  Lovely matching hat and scarf.  Romi found us during the recent A-Z blog challenge.  Thrilled to have this donation from so far away.

Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond, Romi.  Visiting and leaving comments is  also very helpful.

Please join me folks in saying hello to our newest pair of helping hands Romi from Japan.
