A Cozy Place For A Nap

We have been working with our fiber, and dying the seconds in many colors to then use for felting.  We had a batch of green fiber drying on a sweater rack and noticed that there was a perfect circle in the middle of the fiber the next morning.  That afternoon, we found Mattie taking a nap right in the middle of all the fiber!  Cats find the funniest places to catch some zzzzz's!
