Needlepoint Pillows

Nyssa came over to see what her Mom was doing....

"What are you making?"

"It's going to be a new pillow for our sofa."

the Needlepoint Pillow

Iris had finished the needlepoint pillow. "Look, I finished it. It's all sewn and stuffed.""

"It looks really good Mom!"

Then Nyssa took it, shoved Eric's teddy onto the floor, and put the pillow on the sofa... "My dolls really like it!"

Not to be undone, Eric picked up his bear, pushed Nyssa off the sofa, knocked her doll on the floor, and laid down on the pillow to start reading one of his favourite books....

"Look what he did!!""

"There's only the one new pillow, so you two are just going to have to share it..."

"But I had it first!!"

Pillow Fight

Nyssa wasn't the least bit happy that Eric currently had the pillow, and all their Mom had said was that they'd "have to share"....

She figured he'd had it long enough, and yanked it out from under his head....

...and hit him over the head with it...

"Hey!! What do you think you are doing??"

"You've had it long enough! Now it's MY turn!!" "Oh yah? Says who??"

Enough is Enough

Iris had had enough of their fighting, took the pillow and sat down on the sofa with her tea..

"But Mom!! I was laying there reading my books!!"

"And I was playing with my dolls there..."

"I'm sorry, but if the two of you can't share..."

"Then neither of you are going to have it."

Nyssa and Eric were upset, and ran off to their rooms...
"I think I may just have to make another pillow..."

Next??

Iris 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...."

Two More Done

Apparently I'm not the only person who does needlepoint fast, since Iris had both pillows done in no time at all...

"They turned out really nice..."

"I can't believe how fast they went..."

A Pillow Each

Iris called Nyssa and Eric to show them one of the new pillows....

"What do you think? Now you can both have one of my new needlepoint pillows..."

Nyssa took the gold floral pillow.....

...while Eric clutched his favourite....

"Now that you both have one to yourselves, there shouldn't be any more fighting."

"This one is MINE, and you aren't touching it!!"

Pansies

Iris had really been enjoying doing the needlepoint so much, that she started another...

Pansies this time....

But then she thought, with it being a rather simple design, that maybe Lisa might enjoy learning how to do needlepoint...

Blue Borders

Both Iris and Lisa worked on their pansy needlepoint pillows when they could, Iris on her larger project, and Lisa on her smaller design. Soon they were both finished....
