Lovin' Red Crochet!

Two of my classroom mother's love to crochet.

Marina made me this darling snow hat!

Her daughter Abygail has a hat like this one, only in our school colors. I just adore it. When Marina said she would make one for me I was delighted. She made it in my two favorite colors, red and pink!

I just love this little flower on the side. I'm nearly 60, and it is probably a bit young for me, but I think teaching kinder gives me a child's heart.

Rosario said she was making me a purse for Christmas. Oh my goodness! I just love this little purse, and I wear it every day!

I put little pins on it to suit my mood.

Cherries are my classroom theme, if I have one. Doesn't it look like a cherry purse?

These sweet (and beautiful, talented young women) just "see me"! I love when that happens!

Have a wonderful week-end!

  7. Hi Patti, I love your new crocheted gifts. Red is one of my all time favorite colors. I taught preschool for ten years . . . long, long ago . . . and I have many Christmas ornaments that were gifted to me. Each year when I put them on the tree and read the name of the child and the year written on them, it brings back wonderful memories. I would never worry that the hat is to young for you . . . it is adorable and I'm sure that it looks absolutely wonderful on your pretty head :) Just in time for Valentine's Day.
    Have a lovely week.
    Your blogging sister,
    Connie :)
