By now most everyone has met the co-editor.
She actually has a name and it is Mattie Gray.
Mattie Gray is a wonderful companion to everyone in our family. Her unconditional love amazes me daily. She greets us with a wagging hind end (short tail breed) and whines with delight no matter if we have been gone for two minutes or six hours. She only asks for a few of things in return. Food, a daily jog, warmth, and a cushy bed.
Lately though, she is asking for a bit more. You see her bed is in our cozy room, but sometimes we sit in the living room where the Christmas tree is. There is no bed there and it is cold.
Mattie Gray wants a second bed, the way I wouldn't mind having a second home. You know a cabin at the beach or the mountains, or a cushy second bed in the living room.

When I read the January Martha Stewart issue the other day, I decided to make the co-editor a second bed for Christmas.
To make a bed you need:
- two towels
- batting
- embroidery thread
You simply stitch two towels together leaving a side open to put the batting in. Then stitch closed.
Next using the embroidery thread stitch down through the layers then back up leaving about 2 inches of thread at each end. Tie the two ends together so that it looks like this.
These stitches should be placed about 6-8 inches apart. Easy.
She is going to love it...just hope she doesn't snoop around. She is a pretty nosy girl.
