Cathie Filian shares a tutorial for making a crinkle mat for cats. Make one for your feline friend so she’ll quit laying down on old shopping bags and newspapers. What am I saying – she’ll probably still do that. But she’d also appreciate a crinkly lounging surface made just for her. Go to the tutorial. (You’ll need to scroll down to find the tutorial.)

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem
With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
