Measuring / cutting pads make good pillows
Buddy always joins me in the loft while I work on craft projects. Tonight he decided the measuring /cutting mat would make a nice, cool pillow. As hot as it is up there in the summer I'm surprised he comes up at all, but he does tend to follow me around...
