Donating Bright Cheer and Warm to Ohio's Homeless

 Look!  More bright cheery afghans/lapghans from our friend Marsha M.  The woman who should be known as the woman with the smoking crochet hook!  Seriously, I don't know how fast she's able to crochet, or if she crochets in her sleep..............please scroll back and see how many afghans/lapghans she's crocheted and donated!!

 Big granny squares is her style with every color imaginable.  All are interesting and eye catching.  And all will be loved by those who wrap up in them.

 Please remember to click to enlarge pictures so you can see all the color she uses, because with a first glance you honestly don't see them all.  AND yes she knitted and crocheted hats, scarves, and infinity scarves as well.  Pretty exciting to see our numbers going down.

This bright orange, pink, red.......fire burst below is probably my favorite of this group.  LOVE it.  Do you have a favorite?  Have you scrolled back to see all the previous afghan/lapghans she's donated?  You might not be able to pick a favorite, lol

Many many thanks Marsha, we so appreciate all your efforts.

Thank you Mary D for Helping the Homeless

 Mary D, our newest pair of helping hands has been very busy creating hats and scarves for the younger set.  The kids will be thrilled to get these soft scarves.  So happy to have you with us Mary, helping Ohio's Homeless in Need.  So many people without roofs over their heads,

 or living day to day, hoping for nights in shelters here and there.  Children are still expected to go to school.  Has to be hard, not knowing where you'll be for the night or when you'll have a meal next.  

 One of the things Homeless Family's Foundation does is transport children to and from school, making sure they have a meal on return to the facility from school, and they provide homework assistance for the kids to help them through these difficult times, while they work with the adults to find lodging and jobs.

These hats and scarves will help them know, someone cares!  These hats and scarves will help them stay warmer, and healthier.  Many thanks Mary D, please keep up the good work.

AND look what a wonderful dent her donation has made in our goals for hats and scarves.  205 hats needed to reach last years donation mark.  AND167 hats to meet last years mark.  Will we make it?  28 days left to the end of the year.  Let's see how close we can get.

Donating Crocheted Afghans Helps Homeless

 This primarily gray afghan will be so nice for the men folk, or teen boys.  Big Bold Granny Square afghan crocheted and donated by our friend Marsha M.  If you missed my first post about her afghans, please please scroll back so you can see them all.  You really don't want to miss any of them.

 Thank you, Thank you Marsha.  What a busy busy woman you are with your crochet hook.  Is it smoking from the speed in which you crochet?  Seriously!!  Fun how the blues pop in this one.  But wait............keep going.

 What truly fun and interesting colors this big granny is.  Doesn't it look like a spring garden to you?  First thing I thought of when I unfolded this one.  

AND....the one below, looks sorta partiotic to me.  It's not actually red, white and blue alone, but it looks that way on first glance.  As always, please remember to click to enlarge any and all pictures here on the blog so you can see colors, and details of the wonderful donations our gifted and generous crafters donate.  Many many thanks Marsha!

Crochet Hat and Scarf Sets Donated for the Homeless

Thank you Karen S. for this thoughtful donation of hats and scarves, matching sets!.  Thank you also for taking the time to label the hats with size........that's such a time saver for me, as well as the volunteers at the various shelters.  GREAT colors, suitable for either males or females.

Karen has been supporting Bridge and Beyond with her crochet hook for a good long while.  Thank you for your persistence and longevity!

I've posted before the technique she uses for this interesting light - dark side, but it's been awhile so thought I would again, in case anyone is interested in trying it out.

Here's the post where I included a u-tube video.
