Rays of Sunshine Ornament Crochet Pattern - August Ornament of The Month By Sara Sach Crochet

 Rays of Sunshine Ornament
🌞Crochet Pattern🌞
August Ornament of The Month


Rays of  Sunshine 
Christmas Ornament And Summer Ornament
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
                       

The Rays of Sunshine Ornament Crochet Pattern is fun
 to stitch up and makes a nice Christmas
 ornament,too. It also makes a nice August
 Ornament for Summer.


Here in Oklahoma August seems to be our 
hottest month of the year and it sure is this year.
Hang your Rays of Sunshine ornament in the window
 or out on your patio, porch or in your garden. 
The Smiling face will not cool you down,
 but it will make you smile.

You can use stuffing or the flat plastic 
ornaments. 
I purchased them last year, and have some left.
but again, Stuffing works great too.


I designed my Rays of Sunshine ornament using 
traditional Sun colors, but you can make
 yours in any colors you choose.

Whether you decide to use tradition Christmas 
decorations or Summer fun decorations, 
Be sure to add wiggly eyes, ribbons, felties, flatbacks,
 buttons, bows and beads for whatever you would
 like to personalize them.

 April Ornament Of The Month 
 Yarn Basket Crochet Pattern



The April Ornament Of The Month
 Is A Basket Full Of Yarn!


It can be made to have a Christmas theme
 with Christmas colors,
or use any colors you like.


Adding all kinds of different details like buttons,
 ribbon, beads, crochet hooks, needles and 
stitch markers that you have in your craft stash.
This such a fun project to make for 
yourself or for a gift.

I did not add a hanger, As the basket handle
 can be the hanger, or you can add
 a traditional hanger  is desired.


I had so much fun designing this ornament.
I just hope you have as much fun as I did.
there are so many color and theme
 possibilities for this ornament.

of yarn, I do show you in the video

July Coffee Cup Magnet And Applique Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 July Coffee Cup 
Magnet And Applique Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have designed the the July Coffee Cup
 in a little boxy cup style, 
with an American Patriotic theme.
Striped like The American Flag 
for the 4th of July. You can embroider
 a star or you can add a star button.


The stripes are so fun, as we change colors
 every row, till we reach the blue rows, 
with a gold trim.


And remember, all The Patterns For 
This Crochet A Long,
 are free Ravelry PDF file down loads.
 The Wall Hanging And
 Pillow pattern 
And All the Coffee Cup Magnets / Appliques.


Here is the list of the Ones we have completed

January Cup Crochet Pattern LINK

February Cup Crochet Pattern LINK

March Cup Crochet Pattern LINK

April Cup Crochet Pattern LINK

May Cup Crochet Pattern LINK

June Cup Crochet Pattern LINK


Once we finish the year we will have 12 fun cups to
 use as magnets or appliques. This is just so much fun
 already, I can hardly wait for the rest of them.


The 2025 Year Long Crochet 
We are making a Home Wall Hanging and we are
 also making an applique for each month to add to it.
The Applique is also a magnet that you can put on
 your refrigerator.  That way if you really do not want
 to make the Wal hanging, You can still participate
 by making the monthly applique / Magnets.

If You Want To Learn More About 
The 2025 Year Long Crochet Click This Link

The Cup is not as complicated as it looks, 
it's actually real easy. We carry and stitch over the
 yarn we are not using. If you have never carried 
and stitched over yarn this is a great pattern to
 learn how to do it.


Also, I wanted to mention if you are not wanting a
 patriotic cup, you can always stripe it in school or
 team colors, or just your favorite colors.
