And how to make the top , you have to sew on to- yeah, you have to make a top and bottom so the cotton and springs don't fall out. You have to sew it to the springs- actually, they use a sewing maker.

Ok, Are you done?
Nope. How to make the center of the bed- do not make any of the colors I just mentioned. I insist, do brown and they will believe you, and light brown. I'm not trying to get a bed that was all green and slimy- BOOM! they didn't believe it.

Are you done now?

Coincidental (unexpected) Change!

You may or may have not heard of Short Answers, started by and hosted by (until now) sweet Miss Abigail from Rear Window.
Unfortunately, she will not be hosting it any longer. So I have offered to host it for her, and all the other Short Answer lovers! How cool is that! lol I mentioned before that I would begin Short Answers, but I never imagined taking it over. I think G-d has some mysterious purpose in this, because it is such a coincidence that I was going to start doing it just as she was going to stop! His thoughts are not our thoughts, His ways are not our ways....
Anyway, I will be doing it on every Tuesday, as Miss Abigail has done, and will have the MckLinky so that others can link to it too. The buttons are on the right sidebar.I will change them to link to my blog with the info about Short Answers, which I will post right now. I hope everyone is okay with this change, and thank you so much for letting me take it on, Miss Abigail! You girls should really check out her blog and photography! Click the link above!
