A little home decor

Avacyn couldn't keep the smile off of her lips as Daemon carefully took the needle from her and began to slowly–if a bit awkwardly–mimic her work. These pillows were hardly anything of major importance and were just for the pack's enjoyment so she didn't mind at all if one side was a bit crooked or not sewed as tightly as the rest. Still, despite the fact that she simply wanted him to have the experience no mater what the result was, he took his time and actually did quite well for his first attempt! She held the fabric steady all the while, keeping a close eye to make sure he didn't poke himself or thread the needle through the wrong way. She didn't end up having to correct him much through and after a while he finished his side of the pillow. The stitches were a little less even than her own, but he still earned a very proud smile from her all the same.
"That's amazing, darling!" she replied when he questioned how he had done, beaming at him as she reached over to playfully ruffle the fur on top of his head. "You did such a good job, you're a natural." She turned the half-sown pillow casing so that the next open seam was facing her and took the needle back from him, switching jobs with him again so that she could quickly stitch up a third side and get them to the stage of filling the pillows. Turning the pillow inside out so that the seams they had made were now smooth on the outside of the pillow, she held open the empty casing they had made and then pointed out a basket of wool that was sitting off to the side. "Go ahead and start piling that in here! We want to pack it pretty full since it'll compress down some as it's used. Then we can stitch together the last side."
