OT means ordinary time. The first reading is after Solomon angers the Lord. The Lord tells a prophet that the people of Israel will be separated. He is diminishing the power of Solomon’s people. I like when the reading and psalms go together in theme. Today the response is “I am the Lord, your God,…
Today’s toy is a knitted bear. I unraveled two squares I had crocheted in the variegated yarn and black. These squares were supposed to look like stained glass, but mine didn’t look that way. I would not have done anything with them, so rip it, rip it, rip it! This yarn is never ending! I…
OT means ordinary time. The first reading lets me down. And if I feel bad, just imagine how the Lord felt! Solomon starts to worship idols and other gods even though he was blessed by the Lord. The Lord says he will punish his descendants. I am so glad I lived after Jesus came. He…
Today’s crocheted toy is a mouse. I saw a picture of a mouse online and I just had to make it. I just made up the pattern. Yarns used: Hobby Lobby’s Soft secret in mist held double, and peaches and cream cotton in light pink. Jo’s web on YouTube has a tutorial for the eyes,…
OT means ordinary time. The first reading is the visit of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon. She had to see with her own eyes the power and wisdom of Solomon and she states that it is the power of his God that she sees in Israel. It is so great that Solomon pours forth…
Today’s toy is a crocheted angel that I designed from a picture. It has a lacy deign on the skirt so you can place an LED tea light inside. I crocheted them for my aunts and my step mom for Valentine’s Day. The skirt has a heart on it that I made by chaining the…
In the first reading, Solomon presents the newly built temple to the Lord. Hoping it is a fine dwelling place for the Lord and that it remains for all the Jewish people. Too bad that Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the temple when he took over and put the Jewish people into slavery once again. In the gospel,…
Today’s toy is the crocheted cuddle me puppy from Amigurumi Today. https://amigurumi.today/free-cuddle-me-amigurumi-puppy-crochet-pattern/ I used cotton, Scheepjes catona and some bamboo yarn. I like how squishy he is. The stitch definition is great for the cotton!
Today’s readings are short except for the first reading from 1Kings. It is the story of bringing the Ark into the temple Solomon built. Finally a temple for the Lord! The Ark was in a tent for so long. Now it has a proper home. In the gospel, many people are recognizing the healing power…
Today’s toy is crocheted eggs. One egg is made with two strands of fingering weight yarn and the other egg is crocheted with Mainstays chenille yarn. I then crocheted a hill and crosses with brown yarn for the larger egg. It wasn’t too appealing, so the smaller egg has embroidered crosses and hill with I…
