https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/092624.cfm Today’s first reading is from Ecclesiastes and some had said that Solomon wrote it, but scholars believe not. It opens with “vanity of all vanities” mostly to focus on the meaning of life. But we need to focus on a life with God. With God all things are possible. Amen! In the gospel, it…
Today’s toy is a crocheted candy holder. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this is a striped cat in the colors of candy corn. I used embroidery floss for the face. Using my pattern for the black cat, I started with orange and finished in yellow. Then I added white…
https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading In today’s first reading the author said “Two things I ask of you, deny them not to me before I die: Put falsehood and lying far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; provide me only with the food I need” In the psalm, it is repeated that lying is bad, only the…
Today’s toy is a crocheted ear of corn with a face. Design by Joey Diehl. Using Bernat blanket, Big Twist, and a 4.5 mm hook, this was fun to make, but needed adjustment. I think it was the different textures of yarn, but the corn didn’t fit into the husk. Super cute if you are…
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/092424.cfm In today’s first reading, there are quick verses to tell us how to live. The two that speak to me: 1: To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. 2: He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will himself also call and not…
Today’s toy is a crocheted pumpkin with a face. Design by Craftingintx. Using Hobbii’s Honey Bunny candy, Bernat blanket, Lion Brand Heartland, and a 4.5 mm hook, this is just my hat pattern. I included this in the play set of food, pumpkin, corn, eggplant, onion, and tomato. See my Etsy listing, https://www.etsy.com/listing/1780521656/handmade-crocheted-food-with-faces
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/092324.cfm Today’s first reading talks about how to treat our neighbor. Do not put off helping someone when you have the means to do so. In the gospel, Jesus said you don’t hide the light, but put it on a lamp stand, so don’t hide your gifts. Share them with the world. Amen! God’s creation
Today’s toy is a crocheted eggplant. Design by Lauren Espy. Using Bernat blanket, Big Twist, and a 4.5 mm hook, this turned out huge! I made a few vegetables with faces to put in my Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1780521656/handmade-crocheted-food-with-faces
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/092224.cfm In the first reading the author told of man’s hatred for the good person. Even hatred for Jesus, to the point of death on a cross. In the second reading James said turn from selfish ways and envy. Turn to the Lord. In the gospel, Jesus tells the disciples of his suffering and death….
Today’s toy is a crocheted triceratops dinosaur. Design by Sweet creek designs on YouTube. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this did not turn out well. The horns are too bulky. I did not like how the legs were done. Making a dinosaur was fun, so I will find another pattern.
