The Patriotic Owl and His Cute Friend!

June 27, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

I don’t want to bore you with the same projects back to back,,, But,,, Yesterday after I dropped off the Owl Hat at Alpine Original,,, Debbie (My good friend and Owner) messaged me to let me know… It sold as soon as she put it up on the display… We had been talking about what else I should try to whip up for my display before Friday’s Artwalk,,, I had a few ideas of some easy, cute projects that would fill in the spaces… Maybe another pair of Skimmer Slippers,,, Some Patriotic Potholders,,,

Well,,,With the news of the Owl Hat selling right off the bat,,, The answer was easy… So with my stash of yarn and my favorite hook,,, I whipped up two more Owl Hats last night! I couldn’t resist making a patriotic one! If you like this hat,,, The pattern is available at Repeat Crafter Me. While your are there… Check out all of her patterns!

I may try to make one more project tonight… The Artwalk is finally near… Tomorrow from 4pm-7pm on Mt Shasta Blvd… Check it out if you are in town… And make sure you stop in and see me at Alpine Originals!!.

So here is to Patriotic, Owl Hats and Artwalks!.

It’s getting close!!! Only a few more days and the Artwalk will be here…This Friday our quaint little town has an Artwalk for all the Galleries and Stores to show off their stuff… I am blessed to be able to sell my crochet items at Alpine Originals… They are featuring my “Art” for this months Artwalk…

Wow… Crochet being featured as the “Main display”… Who could imagine !!! Not just your Grannies doilies anymore… Crochet is so popular, and I hope to show some of what can be done with a little yarn(or fabric) and a hook!!!.

So I thought I would share what I made this weekend to add to the display… Of course there are many more items that are already at Alpine Originals… And,,, I plan to add just a few more in the upcoming days…

A Second Decorative Fabric Flag…

Patriotic Potholders… Fabric Too!

Another Set of Summer Skimmer Slippers…

Denim Colored Market Bag…

Finished True Colors Lap Size Afghan…

Whew,,, I am worn out just adding all the pictures,,, But it was fun making all of these items and I think I have a good variety…

So if your close by this Friday,,, Come see me at Alpine Originals between 4pm – 8pm… 304 N. Mt. Shasta Blvd… Mt Shasta!

So here is to The Art of Crochet and Tons of New Projects!

I have been working on a few new items to take to Alpine Originals for the upcoming Artwalk… I am finally getting a good variety of different crochet items to share and sell… Since the Artwalk isn’t until the 21st, I have a couple more weeks to get a lot done!!! I have some really great things planned… But, for now I thought I would share what I just finished…

Cotton Brimmed Hats…

Large Square Bottom Tote Bags…

These cute cotton hats are a pattern I found on Ravelry by Drops Designs and you can find the pattern here…

These awesome totes were also found on Ravelry by bobwilson123 and you can find the pattern here…

Both of these patterns are very easy and work up quickly… I was able to complete each one of these in just a few hours… They would make great gifts or would be nice to keep for yourself too!!!

Stay tuned for some really great 4th of July items I will be working on in the next couple weeks!

So here is to Bags, Hats, Artwalks and Summertime! Enjoy!!
