Upcycling
Today I made Zoe a cat bed. She has been dying to get into the bag of fleece that I have been using to make the baby quilts and any time I left a scrap around she was sure to find it and drag it over to me. So I decided to make her a bed out of it. The bottom fabric is cotton leftover from outfits that were made for my sisters and me when we were kids. I don’t remember if Mom made the outfits or if Gram did, but Gram is the one who gave me the fabric, so my guess is her. The filling is plastic grocery bags. Zoe loves the noise of these bags and rushes to sit on them if we leave one out.
As soon as I was done making it and walked away to get the camera Zoe plopped right into it. She has spent about 90% of the day on it. 
I wonder if it is considered Upcycling, since it is made from fabric scraps and plastic bags that I have been meaning to take back to the market…
I also finally posted the second baby quilt on mosesandzoe.com.
And I ordered some business cards from Office Depot. Kat sent me a link to a coupon for business cards for .99cents and I decided to check it out. Unfortunately I couldn’t put the new logo I just drew on it because you could only have text, but hey .99 cents… maybe I can try to print my logo onto the cards. So my total order with tax came to $1.06, I am wondering if they are going to send an Office Depot truck to our house to deliver it. I feel a little guilty, but not that guilty.

Looks like Zoe needed a sensory break! I know Staples Copy Center will make buisness cards, and you can design your own, for about 20 bucks.
Happy early birthday to Pat!

Cool beans. Hey, I noticed you only have 1 in stock for you quilts. What are the chances I can order two of the same one for a couple months from now? Two friends are having babies and they’re pretty cute.

Getting business cards for only $0.99 is something that’s unheard of. I always recommend going with http://www.mind2print.com but I can tell you it’s not $0.99. Quality is great though.

Sure Scott, no problem. I will email you.

Love the new format! Talented children with all the crafty and interwebbing skills. Smart kitty, too, to be all fleeced up with the extra crinkle of plastic bags inside. Does the cover come apart so you can restock the bags? Think this should be on Moses and Zoe.
