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!
