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!

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

Love of Crochet

February 14, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

It just seemed fitting that today I would begin my new journey and write about my love for crochet. When I was 10, my grandmother Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw ( A Little Irish Powerhouse) taught me her love of crocheting…. My first project was a Purple Granny Square Blanket…At 10, I think every girl loves purple!

Over the years I have made and designed hundreds of crochet projects and would love to bring some of my ideas to life for you to enjoy! I no longer have that Purple Blanket, but soon I will be posting pictures and patterns. I hope to leave a legacy for the art of crochet to continue for many generations. Both of my daughters Nicole 28 and Mackenzie 16 have taken up this family hobby and I couldn’t be more thrilled! So here is to the Love of Crochet!

I made these Heart Brooch’s and they can be found at Alpine Originals in Mt. Shasta
