Hats, Scarves, Slippers and More Aid Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Anne Marie.  Fingers crossed this is your donation.  Yes, folks am sorry to report am still working through the difficulties I created with notes and cleaning off my desk.  Some posts back I mentioned a donation as being that of Anne Marie, but she said...oophs not mine.  Thankfully that donation has now properly being credited to Phyllis G, so fingers crossed I've almost got it all sorted out and this is infact Anne Marie's donation?

Wonderful hats and scarves, cotton washcloths and slippers.  Are beautifully crocheted and tagged with size.  Some very nice personal care items, as well as those awesome hand warmers, and socks!

Hats and Mittens for Many Donated

 Warmies for the kiddos!  Various sized hats and mittens to help warm lots of school age and younger kiddo's.  Look at that cute cute Buckeye hat with tabs in the center.  Click to enlarge folks it's adorable!  These warm items are crochet by our newest pair of helping hands, Erin P a local Buckeye.  Welcome to the group Erin, we're thrilled you found us and look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.  Since you're sorta local, maybe one of these days we can meet face to face.  Always love meeting up with such good hearted crafters.

Erin also crocheted hats and mittens for the women and the men.  These hats and mittens are various adult sizes and colors to fit a variety of adult heads, both male and female.  I personally love those hats with the folded brim.  These are very nice and stretchy and therefore truly fit a variety of heads.  The brim can be as is, or pulled down for added coverage.  Very versatile!

Folks my new work space probably won't provide us with as large a photo space, or as good of lighten for photo's; but Dear hubby set up an area for me with a table and space for boxes so I don't have to crawl around on the living room floor and duck if he's watching tv.  Shipping and receiving, as we affectionately call all your awesome donations is now located in the basement, where I was keeping warm with our kerosene heater when we were without heat.  Thank you repair man.........we're fixed up now.

I have shelving there in the basement as well, so this will be a good work space without my taking over the living room.

Crocheted Colorful Scarves are Donated

Thank you for this thoughtful donation of nice warm scarves.  These crocheted colorful scarves are a mystery to me.  This is one of the donations I don't have a note to match up.  If you've been reading off and on the last week or so, you know I picked a bad time to clean off my desk.  Being busy with extra hours at work, being busy with the holidays is not the time to clean off ones desk.  I've lost a note and don't know who the kind soul was that donated these scarves.  Could someone please sing out and let me know.

Edited to add the names of the 3 ladies who donated these items, thanks Kate, Laura, and Wendy for the donation and for singing out  to let me know, much appreciated.

I did find some notebooks that will come in handy while doing some desk cleaning, but the job is not complete even as we speak....see me rollin my eyes.

Mittens and Slippers for People in Need

An awesome donation of slippers and mittens.  Wonderfully made, tagged with sizes...that always makes my day folks.  Due to a recent cleaning off of my desk, some notes have been jumbled, and a couple lost, so am not 100% positive, but believe this wonderful donation is from Judy C.  Judy if you're out there, can you confirm this for me please?  Or whomever else is reading the post, if this donation is yours...please let me know.

Cleaning off the desk, holidays, working extra hours aren't a good combination it seems.  Sorry folks to have jumbled a few donations up, and am hopeful someone out there will be able to set me staight.

Please keep up the good work, these mittens and slippers are all knitted.  I love the variety of sizes, and colors.  Those receiving these items will be so very appreciative.

Donations Help many Homeless

Thank yiou Tristi for the awesome donation and for taking the time to drop it off on my door step.  Love the variety of the doantion of hats, slippers, socks, cotton cloths and socks. Also love how you've tagged all the hats with size.

Thank you for your on going support and please keep up the good work.  Each hat you make keeps a head warm, and keeping a head warm, feet warm and dry is essential.  Folks, as I type this post it's only 48 degrees inside my house.  It's cold.  Our furnace picked a bad wkend to decide not to work.  The repair is expected momentarily........but, if I'm this cold in doors, think of those folks less fortunate then me.  Think of those living in the elements, in the shelters.  Truly is mind boggling.  I know I'll be warm again in short order, they don't have that luxury.

Keep your yarn close at hand folks and know that each item you make truly makes a difference.
