We looked at the pet shop the other day for a new mat/bed for Quincy and almost passed out with how expensive they were. Then I came across our hardly ever used port-a-cot mattress and had an idea......
I folded it over and then stitched it in a few places using a big, fat embroidery needle. I then made a cover for it using the great fabric I got from a school's Spring Fair. I lined it with one of the kid's old flannel, cot sheets. I put some velcro on the side so that I can wash it. Quincy doesn't love it yet, it smells too clean I think! I was so proud of myself I even managed to match up the lines! It looks much nicer than the old, very well worn mat he had.
