September 2012 Sew Day

Poor Margaret battled this beast!!!

I’m sad to say that we forget to get a picture, but will try to remember next time. But the pic above is called “The Trials & Tribulation of Sew Day” & this day was quite a trial for many of us but as always, we rose above & were successful. Just like all those beautiful ferts do in these wonderful shelters we ship to. Which CW’s feel so honored to do so.

List of attendees

Regular stuff to send:
5 Regular sets
1 Sleep Sack
1 FN Hammie

Thanks again to everyone for making it such a successful day.
Looking forward to next month …

March 2012 Sew Day

Just wanted to thank everyone for coming to the Crafty Weasel sew day this
past Saturday.  We got off to a slow start, but we do have lots of things that
are close, so next month our numbers should be a bit higher.  Meliah made TWO
Wonderful pasta dishes, and we sure did enjoy them — and I truly appreciate
because I didn’t have to get things organized and also make the main dish!!

Here is our count:
4 -FN sets
3 – Reg Sets
2  – sleepsacks
11 – toys
8 – Slings

Here is who attended:
Karen
John
BJ
Meliah
Amereta
Lisa
Mariah
Dyna
Mary Ann
Florence

We didn’t get a chance to get group pics  — totally slipped our minds.
Amereta did take a couple impromptu pics, which I’ll forward– not the same as
a group pic, but you can see the newly painted room. :-)
Thanks again, everyone for coming and continuing to make the Crafty Weasel
bedding.

August 2011 Sew Day

Thanks Karen and Chuck for opening your house to us for sew day. Chuck did a great job with the potato salad, and hamburgers on the grill. Great good was brought by everyone to round out a go=d meal and desserts. First time we didn’t have anything chocolate, and it wasn’t really missed — well, we can make up next time! :-)

We have several of our regulars missing (Sue, MaryAnn, Jewelz) but hopefully they will all be able to attend next month.

Florence

Total:
6 FN Sets
4 FN Hammies
13 Regular Sets

We have a lot of stuff that had one piece of the set completed, but waiting for the other piece, so next time we will have some done quickly. People were pinning and making ties like crazy, so that is a lot of things just waiting for the next step. I know we will really be kicking it next month too.

Thanks everyone for your contribution of time and energy to make this happen (Meliah, and BJ — thanks for the cute monkey material that will be cut soon, and added to the sets to sew), Good sew day, lots of laughs and bedding accomplished!!

Hugs,
Florence
