Christina Medeiros on Jun 19, 2017
Beautiful crochet work - exactly what I wanted - a unique hat no one else is doing. Prompt delivery. Highly recommend.
Bev Thompson on Jun 14, 2017
ADORABLE hat, very VERY cute, and extremely well made. I will definitely return to this artist whenever I need anything else crocheted; she knows her stuff. Also, communication with her was delightful. I'm very pleased.
Bev Thompson on Jun 14, 2017
I love this headband. It's sooooooo comfy, covers my bald head, and looks great. It was crocheted by someone who knows what they're doing. I know this because I purchased her pattern and tried to do it myself (but failed miserably). It's HARD TO DO! Well worth the money; I could not be more pleased.

About
About Our Life Story by StrawberryCouture
I am like nothing else in the world. I'm full of imagination and education. I get excited over new thoughts and want to understand them. I like learning new things and making reason of them.
Before strawberrycouture, our life story began when my husband and I met in the Army. I served 5 years as an Army cook. I served one overseas hardship tour in Korea and worked 14 hour workdays 12 days straight.
Fernando aka Freddy, my hero husband served 15 years as an Army support truck driver. He delivered supplies to war zones. He served in 2 wars: Operation Desert Storm and Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. The movie Black Hawk Down recreates this. He served in the 10 Mountain Division.
Today we stay at home while I maintain this business. We get a kick out of the chance to do simple things together.
I stay at home with my husband, and I mean hero in all sense of the word. He suffers from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). PTSD, a severe anxiety disorder, develops after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma. This is common to combat veterans. He served 2 combat tours of Desert Storm and Somalia. He cannot be alone for more than a long period. Thus the VA (Department of Veteran's Affairs) recommended he stay at home.
I encourage individuals to consider unheard of options as I do. I need individuals to see the world and think as I do. Magnificence exists to making your own particular form of a typical thing.
My hats and scarves have a gigantic impact from numerical shapes. I need to do what nobody else has done. I need to crochet and knit everything from a basic ruffle infinity scarf to hat designs.
I do everything myself. I take orders, work the PC, outline the designs, crochet them, and ship them. My better half Fernando drives me to the post office so I can send my requests. Regardless of what time, he takes me there. I show him the PC every so often. I work alone and I appreciate making companions all around the globe.

I am a five year Army veteran cook. I do almost everything in this shop. I learned to crochet when I was little. My grandmother crocheted night and day and always had to make something after learning who was getting married or having a baby.
