Elf On the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition , started in our house last year. I was able to escape the insanity until my son started school but once kids start talking.....you know how that goes.... So now we are an Elf On the Shelf family, too! JOY! My son's elf, Mischief, usually makes his way into our home on Thanksgiving night. Mischief is a good elf and likes to do good deeds.

My kitty has been in need of a new good resting place, and when I saw this idea on Facebook, I decided to give it a try.

Stitch the folded over part to the body of the pet bed Next, you will stitch the arms to the body of the pet bed. The finished product will look like this… You can stitch shut the neck opening, but in this case I left it open, so I have the option to remove the Polyfil and wash the sweater This project took me a little over an hour and my cat loves his new pet bed
