A Cozy Corduroy Nest
My tired shoes scrambled up from the coffee table right into the squishy, warm cushions of the sofa! Wedged right between two velvet pillows was a forgotten corduroy pouch with its brass zipper half-open. Inside, a fluffy cotton makeup sponge was peeking out, looking just like an inviting miniature pillow. Pushing with both hands, I nudged the pouch wider, climbed inside onto the ribbed fabric, and tucked my knees right up against the soft sponge. As the evening lamp glow warmed the velvet around me, a giant yawn escaped—my little feet can finally rest!
