Winter Wonderland!

February 18, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

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

Granny Is On The Way!

February 16, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Ahhh…. The weekend! Last night I started my new Sunburst Granny Square Blanket.

If you’re like me, Crochet may be an obsession…. I worked for a couple of hours and Voila’… 60 Granny Squares are on the way! This was an easy pattern to work up… If you want a “Granny” to come your way, you can find the pattern on ravelry.com- Sunburst Granny Squares, by Priscilla’s Crochet.

This is my first nights work…

These are three of my favorites, so far…

Six complete of the Sixty,,, 10% done : )

Well, it’s Saturday night and I think it’s time for a movie with the family and a little crocheting! We are going to watch Skyfall, and what girl doesn’t want to watch Daniel Craig??? I’ll let you know what I think… So this Granny has to get going on her Granny’s…lol! Yes, I have two wonderful grandkids… they get a lot of what I crochet… But remember,,,, This project is for me (so far)…
