Isis decided that she wanted (needed) to make another pillow, and was looking through her needlepoint patterns...

"Hmmm...I like both of these, but which one do I do first??"

"I like both, but think I'll start with this one...."

I love the teacup and teapot.
I think the next pillow will make the children happy. They won't have to share.

I found the teapot and cup (there was a whole set) at Value Village. They were on the ends of little spoons, which Jan cut off.

Let's hope the kids will be happy with another new pillow.

Isis makes such a genteel Victorian mother and wife. I love your Victorian family stories!

All the little details in your photographs are wonderful, like the mini skeins of embroidery cotton on the coffee table. I think those naughty children are going to make more work for you :o)

Thanks! I agree, which is why she has stayed in that Victorian dress since the day I made it, over a year ago.

I felt I needed embroidery floss, since spools of sewing thread were not really appropriate. So I made some. I took some wrappers off of some Anchor thread (wouldn't do it to my DMC brand) split them into eighths. Measured a skein of embroidery floss, cut a piece of cardboard 1/4 that length, to wrap floss around so it would be the proper length.
