Today’s first reading is the conversion story of Saul/Paul, the man who would write most of the New Testament through letters to the new Christians. He was struck with blindness after seeing Jesus. When he regained his sight he was baptized and started “proclaiming “ about Jesus. Amen! In the gospel, Jesus said that if…
Today’s toy is a crocheted doll by Spin a Yarn, beach bum. Using Bernat baby sport in Tiny Tulips colorway, Yarn Bee Soft Secret in cocoa, and Big Twist in black, I used a 3 mm hook to crochet this doll. Crocheted flat and seamed, the hair took a lot of yarn and time!
Today’s first reading continues with Philip, the story of the eunuch who gets baptized and wants to know more about who Isaiah is talking about. Of course it is Jesus and Philip tells him all about Jesus. In the gospel, Jesus talks of God’s reason for sending Him. He said “I am the bread of…
Today’s toy is a crocheted mermaid. It is a doll with a separate tail and three dresses. The body is small so the dresses were sewn closed on the back and slip up the doll. Using Red Heart size 3 crochet thread, Coats & Clark embroidery threads, and a 2 mm hook, it was fun…

Today’s toy is a crocheted opossum . Using Mainstays cozy chenille in white, big twist in white and black, and Bernat blanket in pink, I used a D hook for the ears and an I hook for the body. I like how it turned out even without a pattern.
Today’s first reading is of the stoning to death of Stephen. He quoted Psalms and Jesus with “into your hands I commend my spirit. He was a martyr. In the gospel, Jesus was asked to provide for the people like Moses did in the desert and Jesus said that His Father provided. He said”I am…
Today’s toy is a crocheted bear. I couldn’t resist the colors in this yarn, but I did not enjoy it crocheted. It turns out too dark in pictures. The pattern is by me, just playing around with shapes. The yarn is Bernat blanket in pink and Mainstays velvet in blue multi, using a 5.5 mm…
Today’s first reading is the telling of Stephen’s ministry, after being appointed to preach the gospel and convert sinners, the elders want him to stop, even by providing false witness. As Jesus says in Matthew 5, Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely]…
Today’s toy is another Hoppy the Bunny, a crochet design by me! This time I used Mainstays cozy chenille in white and since that is a bulky weight, I used it for the tail as well. I had the yarn next to my chair and I was in training, so I finished the legs, body,…
