“A special acknowledgment needs to be given to those that helped before sew day:

Ann – for running the successful auction for the CW funding and keeping the website current and up to date
Sue – for all the ribbons prepared ahead of time for open hammies and regular bedding
Jewelz – for completing all the open hammies at home (and helping me set up for sew day the night before)
Dawn – for completing 13 sets, and 2 hammies at home and dropping them off at sew day
Karen – for making the small hammies and sleepsacks at home complete just needing ties
and all the others that help behind the scenes and come to sew day to put everything together.

We have a nice amount in the middle process and Sue took it home to put more ribbons on them, so we are ready for next sew day.”

Amereta, Jeff and Lisa:
What a GREAT sew day!! You were all so welcoming and willing to get us from place to place, accommodate the situations because of the snow, and still gave us a nice place to work and wonderful food!! Lisa for driving us back and forth to our vehicles at the Kroger, and the top of the subdivision. Wow, hope you got a good picture of the Crafty Weasel cake … it was delicious also. A special recognition to all that braved the bad weather, and icy conditions.

The counts ACTUALLY made this sew day was 45, however we had to add in some that we had made previously and had not counted.

And a few individuals received various items.
This was a mini sew day that we used to do items other than the norm. We created a new type of sling for shelters to carry their elderly or sick ferrets around while they work, we completed some requested items for Ferret Business of GA, and we made other items such as tunnels and fleece rope toys. It was a great day!
