Summer Skimmer Slippers…

June 7, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 2 Comments

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!

Summertime Skimmer Slipper…

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!

Another Day,,, Another Basket…

May 23, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Although yesterday was one of those crazy days in a woman’s life,,, I still had time to whip up another great Door Hanger Basket! Like most crocheter’s… This is how I unwind in the evening… The feel of the soft fiber and my favorite wooden hook,,, a little counting(for those of you who are a little OCD, you get this!) and a project coming together… A great way to end a busy day…

This is how a crazy day goes… Up and out to work… Post on blog, Phone calls, Faxes and Emails on my break to my 2nd job… Arrange appointments for my daughter… Run home at lunch to take care of animals and leave money for daughters appointment… Back to work… Daughter forgets money for appointment,,, Get off work at 5 and run money to her,,, To grocery store for supplies for high school sports awards potluck… Make a delicious Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble (Recipe from At Home With Sara), I added Strawberries upon my daughters request…, Go to Potluck,,, Back home to start cleaning the kitchen from the mess I made earlier… Make a few phone calls and emails,,, Load of laundry,,, Chat with a friend for a few minutes and finally time to crochet… AHHH! … I’m sure I missed a few details,,, but you get the idea… I’m sure I am not alone in these types of days…

Medium Size Door Hanger Basket…

These are great baskets and easy to make… you can find the pattern on Ravelry by Summer Brodbeck or on her blog at The Crochet Diaries… I used her theory, but changed it up count wise to make it larger, made the loop larger and used a reverse crochet to edge it… Give it a try,,, I’m sure you will love it!

I get to have my precious granddaughter for a sleepover tonight… So not sure if any crochet is in the plan,,, but lots of fun is!

So here is to Crazy Day’s, Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble, Door Hanger Baskets and Granddaughters…

Finished! Ocean Waves Afghan Challenge… Whew!!!!

May 15, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Just in time!! I finished up my Ocean Waves Challenge Afghan last night… Took pictures today and submitted it to the contest! It turned out just the way my daughter wanted too! She chose the color scheme and the way the color changes took place… I think she did a great job, and all I had to do is whip it up in one months time! It feels great to have finished, time to move on to other projects now!!
