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…

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…

Day 7 Knit & Crochet Blog Week – 4KCBWDAY7

April 28, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Today is the last day of the Knit & Crochet Blog Week Challenge… I can’t believe I was able to post all 7 days! It has been fun and I hope you enjoyed it too! Our last assignment,,, Day 7,,, Is to talk about “Where we would like to be 1 year from now with our Crafting”…

I have already stretched myself this year by opening my blog and life up to all the world with my crochet… It has been a great experience so far… But, my main goal in the next few months is to get my Etsy Store up and going… It isn’t so much the work it will take to get the store open,, Its more having enough crochet products available… Thanks to my friends at our local store Alpine Originals, I sell many pieces each month there… So I will have to step up my game and get some things going for online sales… Who knows, all this crocheting could work into a full-time job at the rate I am going…

Since my topic for the last day is asking about the future, I didn’t have any pictures to post to go with the subject,,,, So, I though I would show you a few pictures from my life… Hope you enjoy!

Our 5 baby Kittens,,, They all have home to go to!!! Charlie asking me to go for a walk,,, The trees finally starting to bud out!

The apple trees in bloom,,, Early bloomers in the yard… Daffodils Charlie and I found on our walk…

Great Mt. Shasta View on the walk! And the rushing stream…. And finally home, a much-needed drink of water!

I cleaned out the first flowerbed… Planted my first spring planterbox… The hubby mowed the lawn…

Stopped to make some tea…. And finally… Dinner!

Also, this morning I attended a great sermon at church and an all church barbeque… It was so fun and great to have some time to visit with all my friends! But, unfortunately I don’t have pictures to share…

So here is to What is in the future, My daily life and hanging out with my friends at Church! Now it’s off to Crochet,,, Can’t Wait!!!

River-Rock… Flower Power… Paperweight….

April 17, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 1 Comment

I had the spring bug to crochet something colorful… It has been blowing snow here the last couple days and although it is spring,,, It sure hasn’t felt like it! So,,, An African Flower something was my thought… A Potholder, Pincushion,, or …. A Paperweight! Yes, a paperweight will be great… I have a collection of Mt. Shasta River Rocks I collected up above the lake last summer to crochet doily style paperweights… So with hook in hand once again, the experiment began!

River-Rock, Flower-Power Paperweight…

I think they turned out so cute! I will have to make more and at least one for my desk at work where the papers get blown every time they guys crack a window… Of course,,, this one is for Alpine Originals and will be up for sale later today!

Here is just a peek of the blowing snow yesterday… it didn’t stick,,, but it was wet and windy… No fun to be outside…
