Hats, Scarves, Mittens, and Slippers from New York Aid Ohio's Homeless

Woot Woot!  People who help the homeless with their skilled hands and yarn make me smile.  Thank you Annemarie from New York, once again for your thoughtfulness with the vast donation of crocheted goodies.  If you've been reading this blog while you know Annemarie is a wonderful supportor giving us her time and talent.

These has, slippers, scarves, and mittens will put many smiles on faces of people less fortunate then us.  We physical warm people with our crafted donations certainly.  But, we also warm their souls when they know someone they didn't know took time to hand make something special for them.

Please keep up the good work!

Though it is spring (and now the font changes back?), it is still cold here many days and nights.  Sitting inside right now with cold feet and a fleece on if that gives you any ideas.  Donations are still needed.  So thanks to all whom are keeping their yarn and hands busy.

As some of your know I recently returned from a trip abroad, first ever!  Hubby and I were fortunate enough to travel to Spain.  It was truly an awesome experience.  Love to share it all with you, and am blogging about it everyday this month (May) on Traveling Suitcase.  Come explore with me, travel virtually while you knit and crochet.

I've also been working more hours then normal, and April (for those who blog) is the month for the annual blog challenge.  Whew.......hoping things slow down a bit.  Not here on Bridge and Beyond though.  And look what else our friend Tristi crocheted and donated!  This afghan will be soooooo appreciated by whomever receives it Tristi.  Thank you for your hard work.   Ok.....anyone know why the font suddenly changed?

Lola Talking Scarves

 Perhaps you all saw this some time back on the Lion Brand Web Site...they always have cute Lola cartoons.  The idea behind this is

Mish Mosh.  Now I don't think this scarf is a good idea for homeless, remember they don't like to call attention to themselves, so bright colors aren't the best ideas, nor are alot of stripes...plus solids go better with 99.9% of everything, be it for a women, a child, or an adult male.  But, perhaps the idea has some merit...if you're trying to use up some odds and ends, you might do blocks with a variety of stitches....??Personally, don't think I would be comfortable wearing something like this that isn't going to go with anything...but I wondered whatyou all thought of the idea behind it?

 Thank you Janis F for this thoughtful donation of crocheted cotton washcloths, hats, and scarves.  Thanks also for tagging the hats with the size, much appreciated.  You can also see Janis has included some misc clothing items for the youngsters.

I wanted to show you a close up of the celery colored hat.........isn't that adorable!  Such a sweet crocheted flower.  That will surely put a smile on a little girls face.

Donations to Help Ohio's Homeless

 Thank you Kathy B for this donation of yarn and supplies for plastic canvass.  I know the yarn will get used, it always does!  I'm in the process of checking at the shelters to see if they could use it for arts and crafts for the kids.

She's also donated 3 pieces of fleece that have several possibilities... keep checking back in to see what they turn into.  Shhhhhhhhhh...not telling.

Thank you Linda J for your support, much appreciated.

Crocheted Donations From Texas Aid Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Linda J from Texas for this thoughtful donation of crocheted cotton washcloths, and scarves.  Sorry to see the color of the 2 scarves on the left isn't accurate.  They were a pretty light burgundy; but that was a dark spot in the basement when I took the photo.

Please keep up the good work Linda, and send us some of your warm Texas weather, please.  We've had a few nice days, but we also had snow just a few days ago........again!
