Style and Graphite: DIY- Pillow!

DIY- Pillow!

Spent today relaxing and doing a little sewing- a sham pillow for my bed. I want to make three or four, but started out simple to get a feel for it!
20 x 20 royal blue jacquard, partially made on my mother's sewing machine and finished with a whip-stitch by hand. It will be nice to lean instead of a hard wall/closet door when I'm reading on my bed.

Wow- I never noticed this corner of the room looks kinda... spartan. It doesn't all look this way!

Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogroves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogroves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
