Say Howdy to our newest pair of helping hands from the state of Texas. We're thrilled to have you join us and appreciate this thoughtful donation to keep Ohio's Homeless warm. She's asked to be anonymous (though I have her name...remember that's necessary). Though it's a long way from Rose season, as we have mounds of snow on the ground that I wonder when and if it will all melt.......the song Yellow Rose of Texas popped into my head as I posted this picture from our newest Texas contributor.
**Stay tuned for donations from: Sue F from Ohio.
Due to the holiday (editing this post on Presidents Day), I'm delayed a day picking up donations from the post office that arrived last week. So, if you mailed a donation last week and are wondering what happened, if it arrived etc....stay tuned for the next couple of days, please and thanks.

Fellow Ohioan and our newest pair of helping is Karen J. Welcome to the group Karen, we're thrilled to have you join us. Thank you for your thoughtful donation of hats, and scarves. Special thanks also for taking the time to tag your hats with size! What a nice variety of sizes and colors to keep many heads warm.
We look forward to seeing you here often at Bridge and Beyond and hope you'll join in with the chatter we enjoy in the comment section; which also makes it nicer as we all get to know one another.

Thank you Blanca T for this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies. You've been busy! Colorful crocheted cotton cloths/towels are always well received by all the shelters we donate to. She's also donated hats and scarves. Click to enlarge folks so you can see the details in the scarves. I believe this style is called a keyhole scarf?
Thank you and please keep up the good work of warming Ohio's Homeless.
Folks we're still highlighting the needs of kids until the end of this month, February; but remember that doesn't mean you can't send items for kids other times of the year. Please check the working calendar tab anytime you need an idea of what to make, or wonder what our highlighted items or groups will be. The current highlight, always appear in the moving marque across the top of the blog.

Thank you Sandra R from Florida. Sandra has been a long time wonderful supporter of our homeless here in Ohio. She does beautiful work. Special thank you Sandra for tagging everything with size...that's always appreciated. Love the variety of sizes, and colors in your hats. Look how many heads will now be warm because of you.
Please keep up the good work!
As I typed this scheduled post, I'm happy to say it's finally warmed up to 23! Feels like 12, but it was only 12 and felt like 2 when I got out of bed this morning; soooooooooo I guess that's better. lol Marginally. I can't keep my hands and fingers from cracking from the cold, can't imagine how much worse it is for those without a nice warm roof over their heads.

As promised a better picture of this afghan from Diana K. YOu saw it all folded up last time, and here it is (already tabulated), laid out after being laundered. Who doesn't love a ripple. A ripple and granny squares aren't those the first two designs that pop into your head when you think of a traditional afghan!
Awesome work, again Diana K, thank you.

Apologies if you made it here this am, before I got the post finishef folks. I had the picture and the count and a note to myself to finish the post. Barbara F has donated a vareit of hat styles, please click to enlarge the picture so you can see the details better. Different sizes, different colors and different styles. She's also donated scarves and cotton washcloths.
Many thanks Barbara, please keep up the good work.
As I edit this post, it's snowing......yes AGAIN! It's currently 23 degrees, but feels like it's 13. I've been lucky enough to escape the cold and snow for a bit, traveled with hubby for business and then we added a few days at the end of business to relax and it was so nice to be where there was nice weather. The snow mounds from plows etc are now about 4 feet high here to give you a feel fr the amount of snow that's piled up.
Please keep the homelss, and those without proper heat living on the edge during this very difficult time of year in your thoughts and prayers and do what you can with your needles and hooks. They don't really have a way to escape the conditons.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?
I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.
Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.
