Thank you WEndy H for this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies. Wendy has been a long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond and has helped many homeless here in Ohio. She's included scarves sized for the kiddos and some cotton washcloths. Blue and green has always been a favorite combination of mine and so the cute scarf on the right with the bright green and blue calls out to me. Some little girl is going to be thrilled to sport this!
Many thanks Wendy and please keep up the good work.

YIPPEE!! Can you see me clapping for mittens? Darlene H has some serious sewing skills folks. These mittens are sewn from what I believe to be double thickness soft warm felt. These are all sized larged which is perfect for our men living out in the elements. AND being black is wonderful as well to not show the dirt. She's also included 2 felt scarves and 3 knitted hats. Awesome donation.
Many thanks for making this special delivery right to my house Darlene.

Look at these awesome slippers and slipper socks! Our good friend and long time supporter, Paulette has done it again. Fabulous thick warm slippers, all nicely tagged with size. Lots of colors to choose from and multiple styles as well. She's included patterns which I plan to work to add to the blog so others may use as well. Many many thanks Paulette J for all your hard work, kind heart and generous donation. Ohio's homeless will be thrilled to have something warm and comfy for their feet.
Please keep up the good work and know how much you and your talents are appreciated.

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.
