Patriotic Crochet

.

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!

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!

Summer Skimmer Slippers…

.

Another awesome project finished for the Artwalk…  I have made several pairs of these great Skimmer Slippers by Hook Candy.  You can find the pattern at hookcandy.com or on Ravelry.  It is a great pattern and it is available to purchase, but well worth it.  I love free patterns, but I also don’t mind paying for a great pattern!  A lot of work goes into writing and testing patterns, so I think its great to support a fellow crocheter in their business!

Super comfortable and non skid…

.

The soles are double layered and very comfortable, I added Glow In The Dark Dimensional Fabric Paint on the bottoms for a non skid effect.  These work up in just a few hours of work and are a great gift or a treat for yourself!  Give them a try and check out her other patterns too!

So here is to slippers, Artwalks and Glow in the Dark!

Hats and Bags….

I have been working on a few new items to take to Alpine Originals for the upcoming Artwalk…  I am finally getting a good variety of different crochet items to share and sell… Since the Artwalk isn’t until the 21st, I have a couple more weeks to get a lot done!!! I have some really great things planned… But, for now I thought I would share what I just finished…

Large Square Bottom Tote Bags…

These cute cotton hats are a pattern I found on Ravelry by Drops Designs and you can find the pattern here

.

These awesome totes were also found on Ravelry by bobwilson123 and you can find the pattern here

.

Both of these patterns are very easy and work up quickly… I was able to complete each one of these in just a few hours…  They would make great gifts or would be nice to keep for yourself too!!!

.

Stay tuned for some really great 4th of July items I will be working on in the next couple weeks!
