We sure had a lot of fun this past Saturday.  Diane came in from Virginia, and share some cute jars of granola with all of us!  Morgan brought her furkids which meant it was a wonderful zoo for us all day long!

Hi Everyone:

Florence

We had quite a busy sewing day last weekend.  Several people had different appointments that meant they needed to leave early, but we ended up having lots of fun, laughing and accomplishing more bedding than expected.  We did have a new person that is a resident at Brookdale, Rhett, joined us, and really helped a lot.  Hoping she will be with us in the future.

Wow … what a wonderful time we had this past weekend.  Susie Pryon over did herself with decorating the counters for our Christmas lunch.  It was beautiful, and things moved so quickly that I never got a picture of it.  Johnny brought his two ferrety kids, and Morgan brought her new puppy Feathers too.   Food and fellowship was wonderful as always.

Another successful day with the Crafty Weasels.  Morgan brought all of her 6 ferrets to play with us during the day, and I think we might have worn them a bit out at the end of the day they were in a nice ferret pile in the hammie.

Well, we sure had quite an unusual sewing day.  There was a very special presentation to Sue Pryon from Pie O’Paws Mom of a painting of her sweet ferret Emma, who is now at the Rainbow Bridge.

Thanks for everything that each and everyone of you do to help make this group such a success.  We continue to accomplished important work for the shelters

Well, we were missing some of our sewing folk yesterday, but were lucky that the month before we had also had bedding close to being finished.

Well, we had another great sewing day with the Crafty Weasels.  Morgan brought three of her cute ferrety boys to keep us entertained.

We do have a lot of bedding that is in process, so should be able to finish even more next month.

It was discussed and decided that we won’t be making two different sizes of sleepsacks and hammie sets.  All the shelters now have Ferret Nation size cages so they are only requesting FN sized bedding.  We will now concentrate on the FN only, with the WonTon Flower hammies, and the Inside Outside sleepsacks (Margaret continuing to do PennyButton Hammies).  This way if they indeed have smaller cages, we can send extra WonTons, etc.  This should simplify the cutting process, and steamline our sewing days too.

Karen let us know that we now need more bedding cut for her to match, and bring to the upcoming sew days.  So, I’m requesting help with the cutting and getting things ready to give to Karen to match.  Johnny already volunteered for this weekend.  If I could have a steady stream of people come to cut, we can get the stock built up so that Karen will have things to match.

So, please send me a text or email, if you can come help during the weekends.

Thanks for all you do to help the CW continue to complete their mission.

Well, as with ferrets, there is never a dull moment with the Crafty Weasel sewing days! Things started fine, but we found out that the A/C wasn’t working. Nothing could be done to fix it for us, but we kept on trucking even when the temp was 84+. Such amazing people that wouldn’t give up!!! And, we really accomplished more than expected!

We also brought stuff to share for lunch so that we could concentrate on getting more accomplished (having lunch in their dining room, take a lot more time). Everyone contributed to making it an amazingly filling lunch!!

Thanks again to everyone for their amazing effort.

Well, as usual we always have a great time during our sew days, but never quite know what and who to expect. This past sew day we were lucky to have Gia (Genesis) a 10 year old daughter of an employee from Brookdale come help us. She was fascinated with Johnny’s ferrets, and Sue’s little girl too! She took over the job of QA/QC that Mary Ann used to do for us … made me smile thinking of MA’s spirit being there with us watching another possible generation of CWs to come.
