Loki's favorite bed is a $12 floor pillow from BB&B that we covered with bone fabric. We've also made 2 sets of doggie steps for $15. On the other hand, I've tried to make clothes and I fail miserably and waste fabric. I did manage to make Sammy a really cute fabric sling bag, but I think I spent $50 on fabric and supplies by the time I was done. The problem is that I don't have snaps and buttons and all that stuff because I'm not a big sewer. Every time I sew I have to buy a new spool of thread, velcro or whatever... By the time I'm done I might as well buy a $20 shirt. So, I stopped buying $4 pet edge shirts that fell apart and started buying high quality stuff that lasts forever. They just don't have a whole bunch of stuff.
The one thing that *I* really want, is one of those big nice $200 dog beds. I talk myself out of it every time, because they sleep IN MY BED. Why do they need a $200 dog bed? They don't. Not in this house, which is small enough that they can just sleep on a couch or our bed! |
