Sunburst Coaster’s & Snow!

February 19, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

LAST NIGHT… I whipped up three sets of Sunburst Coasters to deliver to a little shop on main street…Alpine Originals has been one of those blessings in our little town for artists and crafter’s. I have been privileged to sell a surprising amount of my crochet work over the last 2 years!

Sunburst Coaster’s

When I woke up early this morning we had a fresh dusting of snow.. . Now piling up quite nicely!!! By the end of the week we should have enough for sledding in our front yard… Come on over my precious Grandkids,, Ryan Renee and Eli Mason!

Headed down the driveway,,, The snow has begun to fall!!

So off I went to work and to deliver the Sunburst Coaster Set’s…A beautiful 5 minute drive. . White coated trees… Large beautiful snowflakes and a clean fresh sent of winter in the air!

Our Family Hardware Store (Started in 1945) From My Office Window

This would be a great day to sit by the fire and crochet…But… I have to work…I have a roast in the crock-pot for later tonight so I can get back to work on my Sunburst Granny Square Blanket…I might need a new warm blanket in this kind of weather!
.
So here’s to a snowy day and crochet!

Winter Wonderland!

I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful area. I was born here in this small mountain community and came back to raise my family where I grew up. It didn’t change much in the 25 years I was away… still only a couple stop lights… friendly people and tons of great outdoor activities.

I work for a small Internet company and each day I have the joy of walking to the bank and post office, getting a bit of fresh air and sunshine ( or snow).. occasionally stopping by one of the cute shops in town. I have a great view of Mt. Shasta from my desk… and almost anywhere I go in town, including home I can soak in the beauty of our area!

A view of my drive to work of a beautiful snow-covered meadow!

So here is to life in God’s country!

Just a couple evenings and 12 squares done….

Like I said, I am a little obsessed with my favorite hobby! Luckily this pattern is easy enough to work on while watching TV…

Last night we watched SKYFALL… Great movie and Daniel Craig is a dream! A little action… a little tragedy… and some great views of let’s just say… alot of people (007) and places (cool Estate called Skyfall).

12 squares
