The Rosary Factory

I love the Holy Rosary.  Through praying and meditating on the rosary, my relationship with Jesus is strengthened, and it has opened me up to receiving graces through His mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.  I wanted to share the rosary with others, and encourage others to pray it as well - He showed me a way by making rosaries.  I love making rosaries because it's always an opportunity to pray and offer up for someone or something.  I bring the rosaries to my parish priest to have them blessed before sharing with somebody and he gave me the name Rosary Factory - he said "Oh! The rosary factory."  And then blessed the rosaries for me.
These are all the rosaries that I have made so far and all made with the intention of bringing us closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
When I give rosaries I always ask if a rosary be prayed for me and my family.  I would prefer to be prayed for over receiving money.  I want all who receive a rosary to encounter our Lord in the powerful and intimate way that I do when I pray it, so I don't ask for anything except prayers - I want the emphasis to be put on praying and not worrying about what it cost.  Thank you all for your prayers!  Prayer is powerful.  Pray that we unite ourselves to Jesus through Mary, and Jesus continues to be our will.  I was so spiritually and emotionally moved by the Holy Spirit, after attending mass by myself six and a half years ago, that I wanted nothing but my family to join me.  Every day I pray for the continued conversion of the hearts of my family.  Six and a half years later we are all Catholic.  My dad converted to Catholicism and my parents had their marriage blessed in the Catholic Church.  My mom received Holy Communion after 30+ years.   They also started to pray the rosary together, every evening.  Nothing has really changed about us - my parents still live in a house that really needs to have some repairs done, they are still both sick, and we are still struggling to pay bills - but there's more peace than worry.  We are thankful to just have our Father, our Holy Family, and the Sacraments.  We give all to Him through Mary.  I want to see all my family in heaven.  I want to see you also.
Praying the rosary, giving all to Jesus through Mary, is a life of miracles.

Quotes on family by Blessed Mother Teresa:

“It is easy to love the people far away.  It is not always easy to love those close to us.  Bring love into your home, for this is where our love for each other must start.”

“Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do…but how much love we put in that action.”

“Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.”

“Whatever you do for your family, your children, your husband, your wife, you do for God.  All we do, our prayers, our work, our suffering, is for Jesus.”

“If you want to bring happiness to the whole world, go home and love your family.”

Made for my Grandma Elaine.

I practiced for two weeks on knotting and barely made two knotted rosaries.  These are difficult for me, so I won't be making these anymore, because I have big hands so that didn't work very well.

 I did finish this one. :)

A man asked me to place the Sacred Heart of Jesus medal on his rosary that someone had given to him.

 I was asked to make three rosary bracelets. One for a woman diagnosed with cancer, another for a lady who walks more than a few blocks to church with her cane, and another for the woman who loves them so dearly.

Took this to a Life in the Spirit Seminar and gave it to someone.
Went to the fall seminar and when I saw the man I gave it to, he pulled this rosary out of his pocket
and said, "I show this to everybody. It's beautiful."
