Today’s first reading is an account of the beginning of the church. People believed in the apostles, Jesus, and the Bible. They sold their possessions and gave to the “church”. In the gospel, Jesus I spoke to Nicodemus. He said that those who do not listen to those things of the world and believe, how…
Today’s toy is a knitted giraffe. My design uses Bernat blanket yarn and 5 mm, size 8 knitting needles. I will write up this pattern soon and have video tutorials on YouTube. I will make the neck longer when I write the pattern.
Today’s first reading is a foretelling of Mary’s birth to Jesus. In the second reading, Paul explained that animal sacrifices were no longer needed since we had the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus’ body for our sins.

We are still in the Easter season! Amen! Alleluia! Today’s first read is a continuation of the story of Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, preaching to the people and was arrested. Peter said “There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by…
Today’s toy is a crocheted horse. I used the pattern for a zebra and changed the color to brown and edged it in black. I like these flat patterns that are seamed together. Using Big Twist in taupe and black and a 3 mm hook, this was a fun pattern. Again the designer is Esther…
Still the Easter season! Rejoice! Jesus has risen! Amen! Alleluia! In the first reading, Peter addressed the crowd after healing a man in the name of Jesus. He explained what they did to Jesus and that he fulfilled the promises the prophets spoke of in the Old Testament. In the gospel, it follows the reading…
Today’s toy is a crocheted zebra. I love these patterns crocheted flat and seamed. They are so cute and simple. The pattern is by Esther Graafland, also known as Studio Madelaine. She has a giraffe and elephant that I will do, but this pattern can be used for other animals, like a horse or unicorn….
