Tooth Fairy Pillows

With some time on my hands (Must I translate? I’m bored!) I discovered material That I had stored. So with needle and thread And some stuffing in tow I stitched 2 little pillows, Relaxing to sew. One for each of the grands With a pocket on top For a tooth or the money The fairy will swap. There’s just one little glitch – I will be quite bereft If I see them at last With no baby teeth left!

I have not seen my grandchildren since February so this was easy to relate to. What a crazy time! You have nailed it.

The thing with grandchildren is they don't want to wait for gifts to "cure" or be sanitised! But well done, Ilene! Yesterday, all of the Hawaiian Islands reported 0 new cases, so the end is in sight! Aloha! Rico

Oh Dear!!! I didn't except that ending, which makes it all the more endearing and funny. Great write, Ilene. I do hope you get to see them before then! ;)
