I have finished April for my cross stitch temperature tree. Each day’s high temperature is represented by a leaf on the tree. This pattern is by @stitchinmommy on Etsy. Stitching this with my aunt who lives in another part of Texas, she chose different colors for the temperature ranges. I have been working on this…
Today’s toy is a crocheted bear. The pattern is from Rico design crochet along with seven patterns released for free. There is a beach/sea theme and this bear is a captain of a ship. Using Hobbii cotton 8/4 and 2.5 mm hook, it was a fun make. It wasn’t very colorful, but Rico sold a…
Today’s first reading is an account of Paul traveling with Timothy through parts of Turkey. He is proclaiming the gospel. He is telling others about Jesus. In the gospel, Jesus said he has chosen us. He said that the world hates us and that we are not of the world. He also said they will…
Today’s toy is a crocheted polar bear. The pattern is Bruno the polar bear by Clotilde Dhenaut. It is amazing that this is a free pattern with all of the accessories. I had trouble with the strap on the sack. Using Big twist white and mostly soft secret from Hobby Lobby and a 2.5 mm…

Today’s toy is a knitted toucan bird. The pattern is by Loly Fuertes. It is very colorful. Using Big Twist and Red Heart Super Saver yarn to get the colors and size 3 needles, I am very pleased with the result. My BIL requested I make this because I like to make birds.
Today’s first reading continues the discussion of the gentiles needing to be circumcised. Peter said that they should focus on the main laws to follow, “to avoid pollution from idols, unlawful marriage, the meat of strangled animals, and blood.” In the gospel, Jesus tells us to remain in His love by keeping the commandments. Just…
Today’s toy is another crocheted pig. The design is by Lonemer Creations. This time I held the yarn double to make it larger. Same Big Twist yarn in purple marl. I think it looks more pink than purple. This time I also shortened the tail. Also, the eyes are blue on this one since I…
Today’s first reading is regarding the newly converted Gentiles, what to do with them. Some were insisting on circumcision. The reading doesn’t say what actually happened, but when new ideas are introduced within religion, there will be the ones who don’t like change. In the gospel, John 15, we hear again that Jesus is the…
Today’s toy is a crocheted pig. I was at my mother-in-law’s house and I had this dark pink marled yarn and I wanted to make a pig. When I completed this one, my MIL said that my SIL has a friend that loves to collect things that are pig themed. I made another pig while…
