Is this the cutest hat ever? I love it. It was a little Christmas present to myself. I found it on etsy, handmade by tomokotahara. I typically like the look of knitted things vs. crochet, but with this hat, the crocheted look is definitely winning me over. The shape of this hat is perfect…the brim and little belt finish it off with style. My newly-six year old took this photo. I tell ya, my kids take the best photos of me. (even at 7:30 in the morning before the first day back to school, ugh!) I think it is because I’m not self conscious at all. I was just looking at his sweet little face full of concentration, trying to do his best.
For Christmas I also requested and received this lovely crocheted scarf from my brother. I originally saw Susan’s and like many, had to have one! It is from Tara Knits and mine was purchased online.
Of course, not every photo my sons take of me is the best ever. Still, somehow it captured the moment…the blur of holidays passed!
yes, indeed. cutest hat ever. i may have to get me one!
Happy New Year Betz! I found you through an old CraftSanity podcast. Your cupcakes are absolutely adorable – I posted about them here, wanted to let you know.
(Nice hat!)

I think the last photo captures the holidays perfectly! And, the hat is stunning, as well as the scarf!
Awww, you look so cute in your crocheted hat and scarf. I looove my scarf like that. I wear it all of the time. It’s good to put the kids to work like that at an early age. I just don’t know what I will do when my boys pack up and leave! I will be completely stranded…
Love the hat.
Happy new year.

I really like the scarf. I also like the way you are looking at your son.
My daughter took the most recent picture of me on my blog as well, and it’s a tad blurry.
Happy New Year B! I love the hat. It seems to be the year of the hat this year (for me anyway). I have a weird aversion to them and have found myself wearing a new favorite one. And I agree, our kids take the best shots of us, we have that look of love in our eyes!
Love your cute hat!! I have to visit that Etsy shop. Freezing cold here, and what better way to stay hot than in style 😉
Cute hat and great work by the photographers! 😉
LOVE that scarf. Glad we have a few more weeks of holidays to go, but I’m feeling like they are rushing a bit like that last photo that made me giggle.
Love the scarf and even though I’m not a hat person I must admit the hat is nice too…
Love the hat and you look beautiful! I say, hire that photog. 🙂
Cuuute! Looks so great on you too!
I love the scarf! I just had one of my crochet books out last night, looking for patterns for flowers in order to make a scarf out of remnants of wool yarn I’ve been stashing. There is definitely a time and place for crochet.
great hat. i’ll try to do that too 🙂
You look adorable, reminds me of Blossom 🙂
