Self-portrait #5

I'm a little late this week, but I'm gettin' it in just in time!

Looking at the Epilogue of a Wife of Noble Character,
Proverbs 31:22 and 24
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

I'm still trying to look at my life compared to the woman described in Proberbs 31.
Though this isn't linen, it's silk;
I'm not going to sell the garment I'm making, but I have sold before;
it's not a bed covering, it's going to be two skirts (one for me and one for Elli, because she's really into twins right now) - but I have made many bed coverings;
and does purple hair count?

I think I'm pretty crafty and resourceful and take care of clothing my family and I WISH I could sell my crafty-wares or artistry, but never seem to have luck with that. Not in my region anyway.

I'm trying, God. I'm trying. (That's a loaded statement)


PS - I'm not doing great with my doodle-a-day.....I'm going to past weekly my doodles instead of daily. I just can't squeeze that time in. I'll also post pictures of my finished skirts! (and other things I've made lately)!!

Okay, I would love to 'beg to differ' on this one. lol. I think you could sell the heck out of your stuff. (hope I didn't sound too blunt. lol.) Atleast you would have one good, consistent customer...ME. =) ha ha. I love your artsy creations!
