| Karen donated a book and a beautiful black chest that was re-purposed as a ferret bed/cozy den and we raffled it off at the sew day. It raised $51 for our shipping fund! Way to go Crafty Weasels!
Thanks Norma for making 36 fleece toys for the CWs this month. |

| 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. |

2009 was an amazing year for the Crafty Weasels! We completed 100+ MORE pieces of bedding (and toys) than we did in 2008. Thanks to all our volunteers and donors. Even with the rough economy we still came through with higher numbers than we ever expected.

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!

Photobooks, Inc. has been very generous in allowing our crazy group to take over their office not once, but twice! When asked if we could use their office for October, this was part of their reply:
“Sounds like a worthwhile cause. And, somewhat ironic that PhotoBooks’ mascot is a weasel. If I remember correctly, last year they left the place cleaner than it was when they arrived. Must be all those ferrets scooting around collecting dust bunnies. Have fun.
