New Year Resolutions

Hi! everyone... I just wanted to wish you all a very Blessed and Happy New Year... May God Bless you all and your loved ones. May the Lord Bring many good things for you all this year to come. May he Bless us all with Health and many years of life so that we may continue to serve him. May this new year bring you closer to God.

New Year resolutions for me this year would be: 

1) Love everyone as the Lord Loves me.
2) To be Less critical of others.
3) To learn to resolve situations with Love and not anger.
4) To Humble myself and be soft spoken.
5) To go to Mass as often as I can.
6) To dress as Plain and Modest as I can.
7) To Lower my Gaze as I walk in the streets of this Ungodly world.
8) To sin less.
9) To become more Virtuous.
10) Read the entire Bible by the end of this year.
11) Be Loved by everyone.
12) and more I can't think of now

A Christmas Letter From Jesus

Beloved;

      Well, as you know, it's time for my birthday again. Last year they had a real  big party for me and it seems like they will again this year. After all, they've been shopping and preparing for it for months now, and there have been announcements and advertisements almost everyday about how soon it's coming! They really do go overboard about it, but it's nice to know that at least on one day of the year some people are thinking about me a little. You know, it's been many years now since they first started celebrating my birthday. 

 

     Back then they seemed to realize and appreciate how much fun it is for the little children. Just the same, it seems that most folks are missing the point of it all. Like last year, for example. When my birthday came around they threw a big party but can you believe it, I wasn't invited! Imagine! The guest of honor, and they forgot all about me! Here they had begun preparing for the festivities two months in advance but when the big day came I was left out in the cold! 

 

     Well, it happened so many times in recent years I wasn't even surprised. Even though I wasn't invited I thought I'd just quietly slip in anyway. So I came in and stood off to the side. Everyone was drinking, laughing and having a grand time, when all of the sudden, in came this fellow in a bright red suit wearing a phony white beard and shouting "Ho Ho Ho!" Everyone cheered, all the children came running over to him, excitedly yelling Santa!" You would have thought that he was the guest of honor and the whole holiday was in his honor! Then he began telling them the most ridiculous stories you've ever heard ... 

 

     Finally I had to leave, walked out of the door, but no one even noticed that I had gone.  I'm planning of holding my own party! How about that? It's going to be the biggest, most fantastic feast, you could possibly imagine! I'm not saying the date yet, but I'm sending out invitations now anyway because I know you'll want to come. There's going to be room for everyone who wants to come! 

 

     I'll reserve you a seat of honor (Matthew 8:11) So hold on to your hat because when everything is ready I'm going to spring it as a big surprise and a lot of people are going to be left out in the cold because they didn't answer my invitation! Let me know right away if you'd like to come and I'll reserve you a place and write your name in large golden letters in my BIG GUEST BOOK!!

                                                                    


Much Love,
                                                               JESUS CHRIST

Crochet: Cluster Shell and Double Crochet Combination

There is this wonderful Crochet Teacher on you tube. Her channel is Art of Crochet. Her name is Teresa. I fell in love with this Blanket. It is so Pretty. What I like so much about Teresa is that she teaches the whole technique and even does slow motion. Tell me what you think about her work and how she teaches.

I sure can appreciate a wonderful stitch and a teacher.

Enjoy!

Crochet: Puzzle Hat

I was on You Tube watching some crochet videos and bumped into this video. Why is it called a puzzle hat? why does he make these weird hats? after you watch this video, these questions and more will be left lingering in your mind. I know he has a weird voice but just watch how his creativity shines.

Crochet: Forest Floor Shell Stitch Scarf

This is the yarn that I used to make the Shell Stitch Scarf.

The Picture above is not so clear color wise  but in this one you can see the color better.

I am very happy and Pleased with the end result of this scarf. It is my first Sale. A wonderful sister bought it from me. She requested a Green Long Scarf and the stitch was up to me. I decided to choose the Shell stitch because it is closed and almost no air can get through. This is me working on the Scarf.

In the Picture above I was finishing the borders. Now this picture will show you the Width of the scarf before I added the Border.

With the Border finished the scarf ended up being 7inches wide. This Picture below will show you a more further away look.

The Border was not added yet to the Pic above. Now in this pic you will see it as the end result. I wish I would have taken more pictures of it but it came out lovely and nice and soft.

This is the border pic only.

and in this pic you will see it up close.

Crochet: Yarn Holder Idea

Here is a neat idea. I know how expensive those Yarn Holders can be. So One day I went to my Local $.99 store and found this spaghetti holder and thought to myself... I can use this as a yarn holder. Well here it is.

Now in this picture I am showing the Lid so that you may see what I did. I took a cross screwdriver and placed it in the center of the lid. I pushed it in a little bit and I began to turn it until I was able to make a hole. After I made the hole there was excessive plastic that resulted at the top of the lid. So... I took a nail file and filed the plastic off until it was smooth.

Materials:
Spaghetti holder
Cross screwdriver
Nail File
Yarn ( to test the flow )

Crochet: Scarlet Cross

I had some left over yarn from the red scarf I made and I decided to make this Scarlet Cross.

Crochet: Scarlet Shell Stitch Scarf

I made this Shell stitch scarf for my daughter. She is in Kindergarten and has won this scarf. She received the Principals Scholar and this is her reward from my behalf.

In this picture you will see that the scarf has not yet developed a border.

This is a view of the top of the scarf and an idea of what the  border is going to look like.

Here is a close up picture of the shell stitch  on a side view.
