He is in a cave hiding from his persecutors and God tells him to go out and choose Elisha as the next prophet. I love the passage, the Lord will be passing by. He is not in the wind. He is not in the earthquake. He is…
Today’s toy is a knitted mouse. The design is by Jean Greenhowe. She designed four mice, one for each season. Using Hobbii’s cotton 8/4 and size 2 needles, this mouse was fun to make even though I frown on the “bridal” theme. Jean said to use a colored pencil for the inside of the rose…
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/061324.cfm Today’s first reading is about persistent faith. Keep praying and God will answer you. Elijah keeps praying for rain and the rains came! Amen! In the gospel, Jesus is still giving the sermon on the mount in Matthew 5. He urges the people to go beyond the simplicity of the commandments. Most people can…
Today’s toy is a knitted mouse, design by Jean Greenhowe. I love these mice, so when a podcaster started a “mouse” themed make along, I had to knit them. There is one for each season. I am also participating in another make along to stitch your library which means to pick a pattern from your…

Today’s toy is a crocheted doll. This pattern is by Sevgili Ilmkler. Using Jubilee Yarn bamboo cotton sport, Sheepjes Cato a, Yarn Art Jeans, and 2 mm hook, the body of the doll was much smaller than the shoes and jumper. Next time I will use the same yarn. The hair took forever!

Today’s toy is a crocheted pig. Designed by Lonemer creations. Using Big Twist plush and Yarn Art Jeans and a 4 mm hook, this was my third version of the pattern, first using bulky yarn. I love the brown on the light pink for the facial features.

All of the…
