I’m exhausted. I cannot even speak,
my voice fading as sighs.
Every day ends in the same place—lying in bed,
Every day ends in the same place—lying in bed,
covered in tears, my PILLOW wet with sorrow.
Psalm 6:6 (the Voice version)
In looking for a verse to begin this blogpost, as I always
do, I didn’t know I’d come across a verse – with the appropriate word ‘pillow’
I it – that would also be so true of my life as it is currently. It’s not about the pillows that I’ve
made and am sharing in this post…
It’s where I am in life that makes ‘my pillow wet with sorrow’ – but
that’s not for sharing here. Just
an interesting observation – and how even King David had days – nights – like
mine!
This is a departure from my usual Paper-crafting. I signed up to be a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant this past summer. I often borrow the Loaner
Kit from my Director for my Parties until I have more of a selection of items
to show and sell. She has little
pillows in the case trays to keep the jewelry from sliding in transport. I was recently able to purchase a
‘used’ case from someone for me to use, but no pillows were included. I asked my Director where she had
purchased hers. The woman who had made them for a while in this area has moved away and she mentioned that if anyone sewed, it would be a good ‘service’ to the local Consultants to be able to purchase them. MY hand is
raised!! I have been sewing since I was 9 years old - back in the Paleolithic Era! - and this would be a fun, additional project to add to my repertoire of ‘things I do to survive’! So –
here is what I’ve come up with recently.
I’ll be sharing them at the 2014 Spring/Summer Launch this coming
Saturday, January 11th, at my Director’s home – and hoping that I
sell them – and will then make more.
I made several packs of 4 out of various remnant materials
that I purchased. I will see what
the reaction is and which types might be better accepted by the
Consultants. I made several for my
own Case and am testing to see which materials might work better than others –
and it’s also a ‘personal preference’ as far as anyone’s personal style.
Here are the ones I’ve made so far – Pinks and Grays are the current Cookie Lee Colors!
They are 4 for $20 - 2 for $10 - You can mix and match the sets I make.
