We received a package the other day from my dear friend Sharlé, who was one of my closest friends in middle school and early high school before she moved to Texas. We lost touch for a several years, but we reconnected on Facebook a couple years ago and have been in touch ever since! (I have a love-hate relationship with Facebook… it’s such a timesuck for me and I dislike Mark Zuckerburg’s stance on privacy, but it’s been such a great way to find long-lost friends and to keep in touch with my friends who live far away.) We opened the package to find this adorable handmade hat and poncho that Sharlé crocheted for her! I couldn’t get over how professional and beautiful they look, so I had to take some photos to show them off! 🙂
I love the pink flower detail on the hat and the scalloped edge on both! (I pretty much love anything with scalloping… which is why I incorporated them into the blog redesign!). Thank you so much for the crocheted garments, Sharlé — we’ll treasure them for years to come!

I’m so glad you guys liked them! I was worried I had waited to long to send them and they might be too small, but she looks darling in them! Your little Mio is such a pretty girl. <3

They’re perfect! The hat and poncho both are actually slightly loose on her, so she’ll be able to wear them through the winter months. Thank you so much again… I wish we lived closer so you could teach me how to crochet like that! ♥

She has an almost porcelain-like complexion. She is not only cute, she’s beautiful 🙂

Yes, she has almost-perfect skin except for this rash-like blemish on the right side of her chin… hope it goes away soon. Thanks for the kind words, Auntie Hyo! 😀
