I just finished making three very nice dog beds for their crates from some lovely soft suede type fabric I bought at a yard sale. It took about an hour a bed, and I had to stop in the middle and remove thread from the inside of the machine. No....don't even ask, lol. There is a reason you don't use that second pin to hold bobbins, lol.
And of course, they have to have their spot on the couch, under my quilts, on my pillows, and in my bed. They have more blankets than they will ever need. Spoiled? You bet they are.
