A Little Woolly Friend

Alone in the quiet morning room, my thoughts wandered... what if I made a little friend to sit with me? Down on the soft rug, I tipped open an old wicker sewing basket. Inside lay a fluffy white wool sock and a pile of clean cotton fluff! I reached deep with both yellow hands, scooping soft cotton into the sock until its belly grew plump and round. Next, from my pouch, I took out two mismatched dark plastic buttons. I pinched a loose piece of yarn, wrapping it tight around the neck to make a squishy head. Clumsy fingers tied a knot... there! A tiny, soft plush buddy sitting upright beside my knee.
