Do any of you remember this old movie? It can be seen sometimes on an old movie channel on a quiet afternoon or it might show up late at night when few folks are even watching TV. Just a sweet little movie of yesteryear. I am not going to write a post about the movie "Pillow Talk" even if it does star Doris Day and Rock Hudson. I must tell you, Dear Ones, this movie was made the year I was born and since it's has 'pillow' in the title I thought I could poke this cute graphic in to go with my post about a pillow.
Am I a silly? You betcha!
Okay, now that I've totally confused you let me explain. I have been doing needlework all my life. Well, not exactly all my life, I waited until I could walk and talk and not punch my eyes out with a needle before I started. Do you see the little fabric piece with the little lady holding up a flower? Well, when I was around 13 years old I embroidered this. Actually it was a set of pillowcases and a friend of the family told me if I would finish the pillow cases, she would crochet a trim around the edges. You see, she didn't think I would ever finish. But I fooled her and did it!
I can remember sitting in our rocking chair watching TV as I embroidered. Wonder what I was thinking about? School was out and it was a hot summer? How I was going to fix my hair for tomorrow? My boyfriend, yep, I had one at 13, but please don't tell Mr. Preicous! What was Mother going to fix for supper? I have a good memory, but I just can't say for sure what was going on in my little head that summer. But I'm so glad to have a little something that triggers my memory and draws me back to that sweet little time of my life. Oh, if only my little pillow could just talk!!
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
If My Pillow Could Talk
If my pillow could talk
If my pillow could talk
It would tell you 'bout
My sleepless nights
Tell you 'bout the rivers I cried
Ever since you said goodbye
If my pillow could talk to you
If my pillow could talk to you....
