On my January retreat one of the ladies who attends collects the fabric scraps to use to make dog beds and gives them to the local animal shelter; however, this year she has stopped this project and didn't want scraps at our January retreat. Therefore, I had a few bags of fabric scraps sitting in the basement with nowhere to go except the trash, but I couldn't quite bring myself to throw them out. Enter the dog we're watching for a few weeks. My son (bless his little heart) thought the dog needed a bed so he threw down a sleeping bag for him and I said, oh no, I have a much better idea. So James and I went down in the basement, I found a crib sheet that we don't need anymore, cut the elastic out, sewed it up, added the scraps, I sewed the seam closed, embroidered Bolt's name on it with my new sewing machine, and we made the dog a bed. We are, however, despite my husband's wishes, not keeping the dog.
