Today’s readings all focus on David’s heir that will have favor with God. I guess the church is saying that Joseph is that heir? In the gospel, there are two to choose from today, Matthew and Luke. The story in Matthew is of the dream Joseph had to take Mary as his wife even though…
Today’s toy is a knitted doll. I have made many Izzy bear dolls, but this one is a girl doll with a skirt. The yarns are Big Twist black, Lion Brand Mandala in Nifflers just the purple, Yarn Bee Soft Secret in garnet for the hair. Don’t know the beige or white, but they are…
Today’s first reading is the story of the false witness of Susanna. She was falsely accused of adultery. They found her guilty and were going to put her to death, but Daniel stepped in and found the witnesses had perjured themselves. They were put to death instead. In the gospel, a woman was accused and…
Today’s toy is a crocheted walrus. Back at Christmas, I bought a booklet of amigurumi patterns from Leisure Arts, Vanna’s Choice easy crochet critters. I just started making tings from that book. This one is a walrus. I don’t know what the beige yarn is, but the others are Big Twist Value from Joann. I…
Today’s first reading is Jeremiah saying there will be a new covenant. Jesus died for our sins and he is the new covenant. Jeremiah also says remember their sins no more. Jesus died for our sins. In the second reading, Paul says to the Hebrews that Jesus suffered and died for them and became the…
Today’s toy is a crocheted whale. Using just the blue out of a mandala cake from Lion brand, and a 3 mm hook, this was a quick project for a nice size. I added the smile and the eyelids were a nice touch. It looks like the designer used chenille yarn, but the mandala yarn…
Today’s first reading is from Jeremiah. He speaks of God’s vengeance on those that persecute the just one. I think he is foretelling of Jesus. In the gospel, the Pharisees are arguing if Jesus is the Christ and want to arrest Jesus due to His authority when preaching in the synagogue. Nicodemus has to intervene…
Today’s toy is a knitted bear. Using big twist black yarn, Hobby Lobby soft secret in honey, and Yarn ID in Himalayan sea salt, and size 2 knitting needles I knitted another Izzy doll. These are so simple to make and will bring joy to a little child. I did want to clear my needles…
Today’s first reading is from Wisdom and is the foretelling of the people condemning the just one, Jesus. In the psalm, it talks about the just, that they will be persecuted, but no bones will be broken, again a foretelling of Jesus. In the gospel, the people will try to find a way to condemn…
