Being Mother’s Day, I know it was tough for several of our regulars and others to be able to attend our meeting yesterday.  Christy came in bright and early to leave a really pretty license plate for Meliah.

I’m happy to say that we still were able to get things accomplished.  I want to give special thanks for those that showed up and really got things going.  Carrie and Jim came over to pick up ferret gravy and saw that we could use some help, so they stayed till the end. Carrie helped me get the box of material organized a while back, and she jumped right in to cut, and Jim pinned them for Karen and I to sew.
This was our first time having dinner in their dining room, and I had Salmon which was delicious, and apple pie for dessert!  :-)

Accomplished:
4 – large dog beds
15 – PennyButton Hammies
15 – Comfort Slings
1 – Small Tunnel

We did have several of the residents stop by and check out what we were doing, and I believe we definitely added a bit of fun in the dining room.  Morgan was wearing her wonderful ferret face shirt and boy, did everyone there get excited and what to know what it was, etc.
Next sew day will be on June 7th, so please mark your calendars.  This is a week early, but Chambrel of Roswell, is having a Family Picnic Event combined with a Pet Adoptions.  They want us to sell our bedding, and have invited our shelter Kindness Matters to attend also.  We are hoping for a large turnout of ferret people.  Bring your ferrets to share at the event, do a bit of sewing, and just enjoy the time.
Thanks everyone for coming yesterday, and really making it all work.  I’m so blessed to have you all in my life!
