Since my trip to Texas, and having been spoilt rotten by my family, Mr T and I agreed that we would sponsor a child in poverty, as a gesture of thanks for their generosity. Whilst looking on the 'Compassion' web site, a little girl jumped out as being 'the one' as she shares the same name as my lovely sister in law, Sharon.
Since her picture arrived, I thought that I would get a nice frame, in order that I could find a place for her in our home. On Saturday, I had an hour of poking around some of the lovely stalls in Bridport, whilst Big Bro and a friend had a romp in the pool at the leisure centre, but nothing came up trumps.
I had a light bulb moment when I thought about hooking up a simple frame.
With an empty cereal box I cut the frame size I required. After a bit of trial and error with different yarns and different size hooks, I stitched double crochet all around the 'frame' of cardboard.
Once I had worked all the way round I made my way round again using a scalloped edging. To finish I made a tiny crochet flower with a button heart centre (from Texas!)
So, without any further a do, meet Sharon.....
Pretty special, hey?
