I have been working on so many great projects lately,,, And like most of my fellow crocheter’s,,, I have started a couple new ones…The first is a great Colorful Granny Square Blanket using my stash of yarn… It is going to someone very special…,, Next is a beautiful Tank Shell for me,,, The pattern available on Ravelry.com by Kim Guzman click Here.. I’m using comfy sport cotton from Knit Picks in Black… And lastly, I am working on a second Decorative Flag… Here are some pictures…

Squares For Colorful Granny Square Blanket,,, All 30 are ready to go!

Mine Will Be Black…

Another Decorative Flag…

Love this little tidbit… Yep,,, This is me!

The weather has taken a slight change this week,,, It has cooled off and feels like fall..Just a couple more days and it will be officially summer here…

The view from my work window this morning… A small dust of fresh snow on the top of Mt. Shasta from the weather last night….

So here is to working on lots of projects, procrochetination, and Summer on its way…

Patriotic Crochet

June 17, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Patriotic, Whimsical and Crochet Art!! Every year I crochet one of these beauties to sell at Alpine Originals… They are always a hit!! You may wonder why only one,,, If you crochet alot, after one it becomes a job and not creativity… So if I whip two out back to back,,, I don’t love the work quite as much… It doesn’t take to long to make these,, maybe 5-6 hours… So here it is… Crochet Flag Rag Rug…Well,,, Wall hanging,,, We don’t walk on our flag!

2×3 Decorative Flag

My feet included,,, so you can judge the size…

And,,, Of course Charlie getting in the mix…

This year since I am featured in the Artwalk at Alpine Originals in just a couple of weeks,,, I have started a second Decorative Flag… Yes, It is work,,, but I am hoping to spread the art of crochet! My hook and hands will be very busy in the next couple weeks getting everything finished up so I can have a nice display… If you live close by make sure you come to the Artwalk on Friday June 28th!!

I will be working on the pattern over the next few months,, So stay tuned! For now it is all locked up in my head!

So here is to Flags, Crochet and Art!

Simple, Yummy and easy to bring to work with me!! Overnight Oatmeal… So click HERE to see all the recipes on Pintrest… I used Betty Crocker’s Overnight Oatmeal Recipe with Chia Seeds… Click HERE to try this recipe! I used Blueberry Low Fat Greek Yogurt, Blueberries, Red’s Mill Quick Oats, Chia Seeds and I added a tad of Orange Juice… YUM…
