All things soft and warm

Her sweet boy agreed readily and she gave him a pleased smile as he came in to join her. In truth she could have completed the pillows on her own without much issue, but she was very glad that he didn't mind spending time with his mom even if it was to stuff pillows. She did now that Nelu was the most crafty of her children so perhaps it wasn't such a bad task to ask for him to join in on after all. It sounded like she had caught him at a good time as he explained that he was taking a break from the kiln he had been working on. At the mention of his companion's help, she glanced up to where Samiri was perched on his shoulders and gave the monkey a grateful smile. "That would be wonderful. Thank you, Samiri." Even though she had gotten quite adept at sewing in her own way, she knew how dexterous primate's little fingers could be. She had seen Gwynevere's Blue work his magic on more than one occasion. Samiri was sure to make quicker work of it than they would.

They both settled in with a pillow case each between their paws, the pile of alpaca wool between them, and she resumed her work tucking clumps of the wool into the pillows and pushing it into the corners so that it there was no voids within its filling. "Oh, no more busy than usual," she assured her son, glancing up at him with a little smile. "Actually, with all of the rain and the colder whether I've had more and more free time on my paws. Going out and foraging the grapes and berries for our wines takes a surprisingly large amount of time." It had actually been a nice change of pace to be able to work on some other projects now that the peak season for those crucial ingredients had passed. She loved making the Hallows' wine and was proud that it had become such a popular commodity for the pack, but she did enjoy crafting and spending her time on other passions from time to time.

"How's your kiln coming along?" she asked with interest, giving him her full attention. "I know you've been putting a lot of time into it! I can't wait to see it in action." Any time any of her children picked up on a more unique or niche interest she always tried to encourage it and give them whatever supplies or support they needed for it. Of course she wanted them all to be proficient fighters or hunters, but she would always have a soft spot for creative, intellectual activities.
