Easter Granny Bunny…

March 21, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

I was so excited when I found this cute pattern on Janette’s blog at The Green Dragonfly… I had wanted to make a bunny to give to my grand-kids and this is the perfect one!!!! It uses up scraps, it was easy to make and different from the typical Easter Bunny!

I am still finishing up my next project, Camo Granny Baby Blanket, maybe just another evening or so… I just love to complete something each day and this bunny was the perfect project… It took about 2 hours start to finish,,, Some of that time was looking for my stash of batting…lol!

So here is to Quick, Easy Projects & Easter Bunnies!

Easter Granny Square Baby Blanket

March 20, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

It’s almost Easter and I couldn’t resist making another sweet Granny Baby Blanket….

When I was looking through my stash, trying to decide what to make next… I kept picking up these beautiful Eastery skeins of yarn! Hmmm… What to make??? Well, if you have been following my recent posts about the Art Walk in our town you will remember that the store I sell my items is participating in the event… Alpine Originals carries handmade items that are created by local artist (me included). This month their store’s theme for the Art Walk is children’s items, and I have been making quite a few. I thought I was done with blankets,,, but no… this yarn kept calling me and my hook to get to work…

That’s not the only one though… I am almost done with the next baby blanket,,, Am I obsessed with baby blankets or what??? The next one is a Camo Granny Square Blanket,,, It is about 3/4 done and I should have it complete just in time for this Friday’s Art Walk… I will post a picture of it when it’s done…

So here is to Baby Blankets and Granny Squares….

Weekend Crochet and More….

March 3, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

The weekend was coming to a close and looking back I actually got a lot done! A little housekeeping… A long walk with Charlie and finished up some crochet projects… Just in time to start the next weeks list of to- do’s!

My weekend journey started off Saturday morning with a cup off coffee and of course I used one of my Twisted Stitches Coffee Cozy’s and since we are still celebrating National Crochet Month… Don’t forget to check out the FREE PATTERN by clicking on the pattern tab…

Then I got to work finishing up an adorable Sweet Pea Zig Zag Baby Blanket that I will be delivering to the shop this week… I haven’t done a Ripple Afghan for years, I must say…

I love the way this turned out, some little sweet pea will get to snuggle in very soon!

Then… I got the notice on my weather station… A large storm headed our way on Tuesday… It looked so beautiful outside today, I couldn’t resist and decided to take Charlie for a walk while the weather was nice… A snow storm coming and our little 2 mile loop won’t be much fun to walk later this week,..So we headed out…

Charlie lead the way down the road and around our loop…Of course he had to stop and show me the geese in the field… Next the big decision… Which way to go… To the Lake or town???

Another stop along the way to check the mountain out…Then back to the house where we looked back one last time to peak at the view of the mountain from the front step…

At the last moment, a quick stop to look up at the pretty cross hanging from the tree and Charlie was all worn out! Back in the house to kick back and take it

easy for the rest of the day
