When I made the land turtle (https://craftingintx.com/2024/01/january-15-land-turtle/), my husband asked why it took me so long to crochet a turtle. Today, I show you the sea turtle. I prefer sea turtles to land turtles. They are so graceful. I know I used the wrong coloring, but my favorite color is green. This design has too…
OT means ordinary time. Today’s first reading shows us Saul’s jealousy of David saying that the only thing left is for David to become king so he wants to kill David. There are so many people driven by jealousy. I’m not jealous of anyone, that is not in my nature. I hope to focus on…
Today’s toy is a snake requested by Aunt Kate. I like to crochet snakes with self-striping yarn, but I always make the tongue in red. pipe cleaners were used and I only stuffed the head so I could get the diamonds shape for the eyes. A few more stitches were added around at the tail,…
Today’s 1st reading is the account of David and Goliath. This story always gives me encouragement that if I am faced with an impossible obstacle in life, my Lord will be behind me and will not let me falter. I just need to turn to him. Out of the darkness and into the light! In…
Today’s toy is Huggable heart. I designed this heart. Holding two strands of Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Soft Secret for the heart and Walmart’s Mainstays Chenille Chunky for the arms and legs. Using a 4 mm hook for the heart and 6.5 mm hook for the arms and legs. I will have the pattern soon.

I had some green yarn in three colors and I had the mustard color, so I decided to try making a turtle. I started with the shell, increased to 30 and then increased to 36 in front loop only, then two rounds sc, then the crab stitch. Then I picked up for the belly of…
OT means ordinary time. Today the first reading is Saul talking to Samuel after disobeying God and keeping spoils from the battle. In the Old Testament there is a recurring theme of God telling us what He wants, our defiance of those requests to even sinning against God, and then He punishes or takes away…
Today’s toy is a flamingo. By Phillip Ha. I used Hobby Lobby Yarn Bee Soft Secret in soft pink and lemon. I am enjoying using a 4 mm hook holding the yarn double. It makes a nice sized toy and I think one strand would have too much drape. This is leftover yarn from my…
OT means ordinary time. Today’s reading are repeats of recent daily mass readings, so I have already reflected on Samuel being called by God and Andrew and Peter following Jesus. The only other reading is 1 Corinthians 6 13c-15a, 17-20 It says to avoid immorality which is sinning against the body. Your body is a…
