San Felipe de Jesus

Today is the feast day of St. Philip of Jesus. A Mexican martyr who was killed in Nagasaki, Japan. He was the first Mexican to be canonized.

I like to teach my children about the Saints and they love to color pictures of them. But I searched a coloring page and could not find one. I think I will have to make one myself. I am not much of an artist. I like to make different crafts, sewing projects, and now I am working on knitting and crocheting.

I started on a crocheted Nun doll, But I do not have most of the materials needed for the doll.

I have not finished the prayer shawl yet. I have been doing other small projects. Learning techniques on youtube. I just finished a pair of booties for Son's infant Jesus. They are so cute.

I am going to go purchase the materials for the nun. I am thinking of giving it as a gift to someone.

My anniversary is coming up soon. Monday is my 13th wedding anniversary. I will have a special post about it later. Niece's birthday is on Monday too. And St. Valentine's day is coming up also. So many celebrations and activities do.

Yesterday, I saw a movie of Don Bosco. I cried with it. It was been show on EWTN. I have also been inspired by the life of St. Teresa of the Andes in Chile. I get to see the Spanish version of EWTN, so I have been learning so much about our Catholic faith and Latin American Saints.

I have to go check on my pet chihuhua again, probably will post later in the evening to update you on her puppies.

First Puppy Born

My pet Chihuahua is having her puppies. We saw the first puppy this morning at about 7:19 AM. We knew it was almost time. And our other Chihuahua dog was crying. So I figured something must be wrong. I told my son to go see. He said Amy was in her bed and will not move. I got scared. So went to see what was wrong. And I saw it, her first puppy, all white with brown and black spots. It is been more than 30 minutes and no more puppies. So I am praying to St. Francis and St. Martin de Porres to help our pet have her other puppies with no complications. Last year she had 4 puppies. And the first time she had three puppies. Lets see how many she has this time.

Going to go check on her.

The picture is from last years puppies. Those puppies are now 8 months old. We only kept one, Camaleon, an all black puppy. Who is now worried about his mommy.
