Thank you Dannie L from Ohio for your Donation

Beautiful flowers above are for Dannie L. from Ohio.  Somehow I don't seem to have the picture of her thoughtful donation.  I have a note and know what she donated; but haven't been able to match it up with any of my photo's.  I don't know if I missed taking one or somehow it got deleted when transferring pictures from my camera to the computer for editing, posting etc.
Thank you Dannie63 (RAV) my note says you donated 11 cotton washcloths and 3 hats.  Many thanks and my sincere apology for no picture.

Edited to say...yippee, Dannie to the rescue.  Sent her a note and she had a picture of the cute hats.  Soooooooo, I am able to share with you.

Thank you Dannie.  I'm particularly drawn to the one with ear flaps, how cute.  Dannie is our newest pair of helping hands.  Thrilled to have you join us.  She's also already been helping to spread the word.  After re-connecting with a friend on facebook who crochets...teaches crocheting, as a matter of fact.  Very cool!  Many thanks Dannie.

Donations for Ohio Homeless

Thank you Marjorie M for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond.  I appreciate it and your steadfastness with visiting and commenting on the blog.  Marjorie has crocheted 16 cotton washcloths which I know will be a big hit when their donated to the shelters; along with some personal care items, supplies needed in the meal prep and socks.    The two paisley bags on the right had side of the picture are insulted bags (probably lunch bags?), they can be used in several ways I'm sure for our folks in need.

Keep up the good work Marjorie!

Donating Knitted Slippers

 Thank you Kathy U from West Virginia for these toasty knitted slippers.  I often ask folks in the course of blogging what pattern they use, as many leave comments wondering.  She's included a note telling us she used Bev's pattern for these slippers.  Thanks also for pairing and tagging them with size, it's much appreciated.  Additionally, she's donated a crocheted hat and some person care items.

Many thanks Kathy for your thoughtful donation, it's greatly appreciated.  Please keep up the good work.  Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

Here we are the 4rd day in April already.  Aprils focus will be scarves, but I'd also like to continue our focus on afghans and quilts.
