The sewing room has seen a little more action this week as I busied myself
making little handmade things.
I designed this little Daily Bread pillow out of leftover drop cloth fabric from my slipcovers.A little pocket holds 30 Bible passages that I refer to as daily bread - passages that are good for our heart and soul.
After the loss of our precious Jordan, I find peace in the Word and these little pillows
are a product of finding comfort through faith.
The cards are printed on a parchment card stock.
I made more pink hearts out of vintage pink and white wool blankets, vintage buttons and super soft knitting yarn.
Soft...
Feminine.
To hang...
..or simply lay in a pretty bowl.

Ohhh!! I'm giddy!! My mom would love to have one of those daily bread verse holders! Are you selling those too? I hope so.
what a very very pretty post. Love your new items.
Such a wonderful way to recieve comfort. With each sweet pink heart bless yours.
Hi Becky
The hearts are as sweet as can be! I love that they are made out of wool. Also your daily bread hearts are such a good idea and would make the perfect gift for someone who needs some encouragement. I wish I could afford to buy some. Maybe next year if you make some more.
Hugs, Rhondi
Hi Becky~
how exciting for you to be featured. I love the hearts with scriptures tucked in. I am so sorry for your loss....it truly saddens me. As a mom, I just dont know if I could make it through but I know that the Lord hears our cry. There's a verse I love and I cant remember where its found but it refers to the Lord holding our tears in his hands. What an illustration of a loving God. Hugs & Blessings.
And blessings to you too.

I love the beautiful little pink hearts.
Wow congratulations Becky! And your Daily Bread pillows are very lovely.
I am always moved when I visit your blog, to see Jordan's picture on the side...it is truly your faith that sustains you. Your heart pillow is a wonderful idea, with the scripture cards...reminds me of being a child, and having a scripture box on the kitchen table...we read from it at every meal. Your pink wool hearts are so sweet...you are quite talented!
God bless,
Mary
Hi I have been following your blog for some time. You have such a gracious kind way about you. My sister recently lost her husband and I told her that you lost your son. She has read some of your posts and I feel it helped her, and I thank you for that.
Becky, those pink wool hearts are one of the most charming things I've ever seen. I love your daily bread hearts, too. One of my favorite verses is 'Let the word of God dwell in you richly.' Where would we be without God's comforting Word? This was a beautiful post. Have a nice day. Twyla
What a beautiful idea! And I'm proud of you, too! Enjoy your crafting! Wish I was in the middle of a fun project!
Your hearts are very sweet and holding the verses is a wonderful idea. I love the soft pink with the white buttons....very, very nice! Mumzie
Oh I can't wait Becky! Hurry and list! LOL!
Such sweet and precious sentiments.
Hugs,
Maryjane

Happy Weekend.

Yay for you about the TIPNUT! That's pretty cool! It was a good tutorial..

Thank you for letting me know and I'm so happy you have it for sale!! I hope I can get it soon *fingers crossed*.
I have to check out Tipnut. Never heard of it before this. Your little "Daily Breads" are divine! I love that concept. And the pink hearts - well, pitter, patter. ~sigh~ just adorable!
Have a good week. Blessings to you,
Kitty
Wow! I just saw those daily bread verse holders and pink hearts and they're already gone!! So lovely! Congratulations on the "slip-cover honor".
The daily bread holder is wonderful and the hearts so soft and pretty! What beautiful work you do. Blessings to you, :) Tammy
Becky, the lovely hearts you created are, almost, as beautiful as the heart that beats within YOU. You have the sweetest soul. Hope this new week is filled with endless blessings for you and your family.
Oh Becky, the daily bread verse holders are awesome! The pink hearts are precious too! I hope you are doing well my friend. Have a lovely week.

I love the pillows and the hearts, I went over to etsy to check them out and they are all gone); Are you going to be making more?
Hugs~Kelly
I love those daily bread scriptures. What a beautiful idea and so nice for a gift for a senior or someone that is in bound and needs the word of God, as we all do. Blessings...I'm enjoying your postings!
I recently lost my daughter Amber at the age of 29 in July. She had a form of muscular dystrophy, however her death was quite sudden.
I am going to make me a "Daily Bread for Good Hearts" pillow. I frequently need a "pick me up" during certain times of the day. No one knows the pain of losing a child until it happens. My heart is broken into a million pieces, but I do know she is walking the streets of gold in Heaven. You will have to visit my blog to read about Amber.
Thanks for sharing the idea.
Hugs,
Donna
I love ... everything. THe pillow with the pocket for scriptures and the hearts! So perfect!
I am so sorry for your loss. I know my family is safer because of the work that men like your son do. He is a hero to me and my sons!
Those pink hearts are so pretty Becky and you've already sold them all. :o(
Hello Becky,
Ohhh! sew pretty. You are so talented. Love the daily bread bible verses holder. sandi
Good Morning Becky,
Love, Love your "Daily Bread pillows" and your little pink hearts are just so sweet, I love them hanging. I did a bit of sewing on Thursday,I took Thursday and Friday off work last week, since the cabinets were being installed that were made for our bedroom and office.
Its so fun just to sew and come up with our own designs. You are so creative, Oh yes you are!
Enjoy your day,
Elizabeth
Oh those are wonderful! You are amazing, Becky.
I was walking through a shop the other day and your name popped in my head. I thought about you, prayed for you and remember how difficult this season will be for you. I am so happy to see you are using your heartache for God's glory and for the good of others.
Love you!!!
xoxo
I'm not surprized that you have seen an increase...that tutorial was wonderful
I am thrilled to see you sewing again. The hearts are wonderful, most especially the scripture heart. Love them!
Hugs,
Lallee

Hi Becky,
Your awesome strength to go on and keep creating such beautiful things after your loss it's an example and an inspiration. Following your blog is helping me revive a faith that had gone a bit "lukewarm" Thank you!
Beautiful blog and inspirations.
I just discovered your etsy shop. Will you be adding any more pink hearts there soon? Or that adorable pillow with the pocket??
