On Going Generosity Helps the Homeless




Thank  you RoseMarie for your wonderful donation and your on going support of Bridge and Beyond.  Look at the cute round cotton washcloths.  She's also crocheted a matching set of wrists warmers and a hat with her always cute and signature details!

The bright green and orange ghan is perfectly timed for St. Patricks Day.  While this post is scheduled for just after the special day, the donation arrived just before and so is very timely.

As always RoseMarie, keep up the good work!

Donated Crocheted Scarves Help the Homeless

 Thank you Beth G for this awesome donation of crocheted scarves!  I love all the nice solid colors that are suitable for both men and women.  While this first picture shows scarves folded, you can see in the second picture how nicely sized they are.  The calendar tells us it's almost Spring, and we have had some relief from the snow and freezing temperatures; but make no mistake.....that doesn't mean they is no longer need of wonderful warm items for our Homeless Friends.
It's still quite damp and cool and will be for some time to come.  

Thank you, Beth and please keep up the good work!

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.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
