Owl Art

.

Last night,,, After attending a great birthday party for my best friend (Lots of Laughs and Great Food!),,, I had just a little bit of free time… Hmmm… What should I do???    Well, of course I crocheted!  I only have a couple more days to finish anything I want to display in the Artwalk…  So,,, Something quick, simple and very cute!  An Owl Hat!  I found this pattern at one of my very favorite blogs Repeat Crafter Me.  She has so many cute patterns,  make sure to check out her site!  She just posted her latest pattern for a Zebra Hat… It is so great!

.

So I whipped up one of these hats last night and as usual I love this sweet hat!

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!

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!
