Clapping for Knitted Mittens for The Homeless

Do you hear me?  Listen....you know how excited I get and clapp for mittens and sometimes dance in the street, lol.  Seriously though folks, you know I truly do get excited about mittens.  Sandra R, our good friend and long time supporter from Florida makes truly awesome mittens.  So...yeah I'm pretty excited.  She's made set's folks and paired them with appropriate sized hats.  Please to enlarge the picture, as you always can on this blog to see details.  Sandra has been busy, hats, scarves, mittens, and cotton washcloths!  A truly generous donation.

Sandra has included several styles and sizes of hats which help us warm many heads in need.

I hope you're being safe there in Florida Sandra with the Zika Virus and Mosquito's.

As always, many many thanks and please keep up the good work.  We all appreciate you.

Crocheted Hats and Scarves

Thank you Sandie P for this awesome crocheted donation of hats and a matching scarf.  The scarf is nice and large, large enough to wrap around twice for real warmth!  Hats and scarves, you just can't get enough of these items for the Homeless and others in need.  Even in summer months warm items are needed for those living in the elements at night.  While we're currently experiencing warmer than normal temperatures for this time of year, we've also had some pretty heavy duty rains which can really make someone cold when living out in the elements.

Sandie P has been a long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond.  Thank you Sandie for your on going support and skillful hands.

Please keep up the good work.

Warm Feet for the Homeless

Look at this awesome donation of super warm slippers in every color of the rainbow from Paulette J .  These are all made with nice tight stitches and double yarn or chunky yarn so are truly truly warm!  Several sizes to aid in warming a variety of feet.  I think my favorite might be the tan/gold center bottom and center left.

Paulette has been really busy.  How long does it take to crochet 2 dozen pairs of slippers?  Please keep up the good work Paulette, nothing is more miserable than cold wet feet and you've given people the ability to warm up, dry off, and feel loved and cared for.

Many thanks!
