There's a new Pillow in Town

On the eve of Mike returning home after a month away, my mom and Isabel were at it again. "Let's make a pillow for Daddy"! They discussed the design, rectangle or square? Tall or wide? Lumber jack fabric or stripes? Glasses? Eyebrows! And, scruffy hair, of course. Isabel carefully drew the face and had the brilliant idea of using her red "Viola" T-shirt that she has outgrown for the back. Sitting by her Grandmother's side, she directed each step artfully and thoughtfully, taking into account what her Daddy might think to be the perfect pillow. Sure enough, it is. I swear, they might be onto something...personalized pillows with personality. Don't want to get rid of an old blanket or t-shirt? Cherish it forever in the form of a pillow with a smile. Isabel has made a special request to be surprised by a pillow of her very own...a ripped dress was handed over as fabric to be incorporated. Can't wait to complete the family.
