I Pioneered in November!
In the month of November me and my mom pioneered! Some know
I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses so if you are curious as to what pioneering
means go to this link: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102012154
It was a wonderful experience! I did the special 30 hours
but I would like to do it again! It’s not easy going to people’s doors but we
are there to share a message about Jehovah God, his son Jesus and their Kingdom
so it is the most important message to share and I am so glad to be part of it!
Though I don’t normally auxiliary or regular pioneer I do go
out every week but I just don’t always pioneer. So I just wanted to share my
experience in the pioneer work with my blog readers and blog followers.
The month flew by really fast but it was wonderful! I did however get a wound pretty
early on, lol, all that happened was I misjudged getting back in the car and
the door squeezed my arm and left a pretty nasty bruise. We did short days on
Mondays and Thursdays but long days on Wednesdays and when the weather was good
we took picnic lunches at the park and then went back out! It was so
encouraging that so many others pioneered as well and so we got to have
encouraging interchanges in the cars and on break.
At the end of the month there was a pioneer meeting with our
Circuit Overseer and it was 1 hour long but it went by so fast and I didn’t
want it to end. It was so encouraging and it had great lessons about the
changes to our publications we’ve had and how through our changes we are
reaching more people and how to make spiritual progress even more for us so we
can help others. I’m usually not one for taking notes as I don’t have very
legible handwriting and retain more from listening then notes but I wound up
taking 4 ½ pages of notes at the pioneer meeting, lol, and it was legible and
coherent thankfully! We had homemade ice cream and berries and donuts
afterwards!
I would very much like to try pioneering again but for now I
will wait until we can do the special 30 hours again and do that a few times
before I try to do the 50 Auxiliary or 70 Regular pioneer hours!
Ruby Red and Emerald or Glass Green Sticker Gem Hair Pins!
I bought some ruby red and emerald or glass green sticker gems at Dollar Tree a
few weeks ago as I knew they would look cool on a hair accessory but I didn’t
know how I’d use them yet. As I was looking around online I found an example
where someone hot glued two bobby pins side by side to each other and then hot
glued gems on the bobby pins and they gave those as gifts. It slightly reminded
me of bedazzling bobby pins, lol!
So I got out two bobby pins from my group of 60 bobby pins
and hot glued them together and afterwards I made sure they didn’t glue
completely so I can still get my hair to go through it. After that I took out
three of the emerald or glass green
sticker gems and took the paper off the back and tried to stick them to the
bobby pins but they wouldn’t hold properly on there own so I hot glued them to
the bobby pins. The way I did it looks like a leaf in a way so it has a nature
look about it. I made two of the emerald or glass green sticker gems hair pins!
So then after those emerald or glass green sticker gems hair pins
were completed I got out two more bobby pins from my group of 60 now 58 bobby
pins and hot glued them together and afterwards I made sure they didn’t glue
completely so I can still get my hair to go through it just like I did for the
emerald or glass green sticker gems
hair pins. After that I took out three of the ruby red sticker gems and took
the paper off the back and hot glued them to the bobby pins. I only made one
hair pin at that time but a week later I made the second one as I decided I
really wanted two ruby red sticker gem hair pins just like I did two of the
emerald or glass green sticker gem hair pins.
Now if you don’t want them as hair pins I think if you
changed the back from bobby pins to having a pin back it would look great as a
brooch! They have a slightly vintage look as anything with emerald and ruby
gems look a little vintage to me but they are still fresh and young as well!
If the gems pop off as has happened then just hot glue them
back on. Also if you don’t want ruby red or emerald or glass green I am sure you can find other
colors of sticker gems at other craft stores or sewing stores or anywhere
sticker gems are sold. I put the picture of them in my hand to show the size of
them so you get a sense that they aren’t really that small and so will show up
well in your hair!
On how to make the Chain and Blue Gems Pony-Tail Holder and Interchangeable
Bracelet that I am wearing in my hair in the below pictures stay tuned for that will be going up on this blog in the future!
I’ve already worn both the emerald or glass green ones and the ruby red ones and I
love them a lot! Though they are fake gems they have a good color and catch
light very nicely as well! They would be great for casual dates or even fancy
parties!
