As I mentioned before in the Thanksgiving thread, Logan had mentioned that you make Catfish Beds and she posted a picture of it. It is so adorable. She also mentioned that you make tents also.

I hope you don't mind, but I would like to ask you a few questions. First, is it possible for you the post a picture of the bed and tent? Also, do you ship to Canada and how much are they?

Also I would love to share a picture of my Poppy that my son took tonight with his cell phone camera.
It's not the best pic, but I think it is soooo cute.

rg_girlca,

Poppy is soooo adorable! That is my favorite one of yours in your sig! I am very partial to bi colors!

About the cat beds my mom is making. She is making three different styles, the fish cat bed(which I think you saw when Logan posted a pic of it), the house, and the tent. The cost for the fish and the house is $50.00 each plus shipping, and the tent cost $25.00 plus shipping. I will ship to anywhere someone wants one as long as they are paying the shipping. I have no idea what it would be to Canada. Right now my mom is busy trying to make them for a craft show that she signed us up for. The show is December 2nd and I am hoping that there are some cat lovers at the show and that we sell at least some of them and hoping all of them. I know after all the work my mom is spending making them she will be very upset with me if they don't sell. The fish and the house take her a week to make each and they aren't easy to make . She doesn't like making them, but she does a great job of it. They are very well made. I pick out most of the fabric myself which is the fun part! The only problem with that is when she finishes making one I love it and want one of them all! LOL I do have to tell you that if you have a large cat say over 10 lbs that the fish is probably not your best choice since there isn't as much room inside of it as there is in the other two styles. I am trying to taalk her into after the show trying to enlarge the fish so that larger cats will fit in it. If she does enlarge it the price of the bigger fish will have to go up though. If you are interested in putting in an order for a bed that is fine, but she won't make orders until after the craft show. Chances are though that we will have some left that don't sell and then I can show you which ones are available and you can pick which
one you like. I will try and attach a pic of one to this reply and then attach some more. I haven't tried to do the photos thing yet.

Oh Melissa, they are absolutely gorgeous. Most of my cats are large so I will have to go with the house or tent.

But when I saw the pictures of these, I just have to have the house and the tent. I have such a love for tigers and have all sorts of things to do with them. These will make a great addition to my collection.

Your Mom does a fantastic job. Good luck with the craft show and don't worry, these will be well worth waiting for.:D

Thanks everyone for all the compliments on my mom's handy work. She has been sewing since I was a little girl and does a great job! Maya&Inka'sMommy, yes I can take orders for them, but as I said she won't start making the orders until after Dec 2nd and if she has any leftover from the craft show those will be available for me to sell. And I can ship to Belgium but I have no idea about the cost. I am very new to this stuff . The ones I have sold so far and had to ship were in the US. I have never shipped anything overseas so I have no idea about that. But I don't see the problem with it.

One thing that anyone that wants to order a bed has to remember is that we get fabric from mostly Walmart and some a couple other fabrics stores. Walmart might not always have the same fabric, some bed or houses might be one of a kind in other words. Like the house that Daisy and Willow are in. That was some clearance fabric I got, for my mom to make me the house before I got the idea of her making them to sell. So I can't get that fabric anymore. So please keep that in mind. So if ya see a fabric ya like and want to order i will have to see if I can still get it. If anyone has anymore questions just let me know. Thanks again!
