Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I wanted to share my latest blog posting Religious Felt Dolls for the Atrium.

I've started making felt doll sets for our local atrium for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. They are really easy to make and are a really great craft activity for young, teenage girls.

I've laid out all the instructions in how to make them, if anyone had any further questions, feel free to ask.

Anne those are so wonderful! I particularly like to Holy Spirit and the flames, and of course Our Lady!
Your pictures and instructions are amazing!

If you don't have time or tools to engrave the wooden stands an easy alternative might be paint pens. We use gold and silver ones, as well as colors for projects like painting words and designs on rocks for the garden, so the paint is pretty durable. We also used them to decorate old wooden games boards, so I know they work well on finished wood. Elmer's makes a style called Painters Opaque Paint Markers Metallic. Testors carries various colors in a Gloss Paint Marker.

Thank you so much for sharing your inspired work! What a beautiful way to celebrate Pentecost with young ones.

Anne,
Those are so fantastic! Your creativity is so inspiring to me! I'm definitely coming back to this one! I just love how you've delicately detailed the symbols of each of the apostles and Our Lady! And your detailed instructions are so helpful!

Thank you so much for sharing!
