Hi everyone! Wow, thanks everyone for helping me come up with things I could do to help out the shelters. I now have MANY projects I can and will do!!! One small problem I'm having with a few projects are patterns. I REALLY want to make some hammaks, toys, blankets, carry packs or anything else but I don't have the imagination to come up with my own patterns. If anyone out there has patterns, or know of where I can get patterns for these things I would really appreciate the help!! Pat, you have been a wonderful well of ideas!! Thank you. I think I am going to attempt to also make some goodies for the shelter moms and dads. I know how it is to be so overwhelmed with work that after awhile you just want to smell and feel human again. SSOOOOO, for me to get anything to shelters in need, (blanktes whatever...plus goodies for the shelter parents) I need some addresses of shelters that are in need of my services. I have looked at shelter lists on the FML and on other various sites, but I don't know who needs help, who are still shelters and so on. Also, while my mind is on such things, I also in my spare time make 'Mop Dolls.' Im going to get some pictures scanned of the dolls I make. They are about 3feet high and are just gorgeous...not like alot of mop dolls you see in the stores. I sell them for about 30 bucks, anyone else can sell them for however much they want. The thing concernig these is im looking for anyone or someone who does or know how to make some REALISTIC stuffed type ferrets that I can maybe put in the arms of my dolls, or perhps in the baskets some of my dolls carry. ALSO, these dolls have a music box in their hats. Does anyone have any prefered music songs (Available in music box form) that might appeal to ferret lovers? If any shelters are possible interested in selling mop dolls for profit for their shelters at maybe expo's or on their own, we used to sell our Dolls for $60 and had offers up to $80. Again, I need to get the pictures scanned tomorrow and I will send some out to whoever would like them. (I don't have a web site yet but hopefully will soon) Thanks everyone for your patience!!! ( I know this is kind of a long post) Dooks to all!!! Heather [Posted in FML issue 2584]
