It was my son that sparked my interest in Pokemon. Sure, I remember them from my childhood, but I never was into it. I had friends that played Pokemon and I’d look at their cards, but never really had an interest in buying any myself.

Then one day, as an adult, all of my childhood things started to become popular again. Transformers had movies, Ghostbusters were women, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were back on TV and my son was playing Pokemon. It was fun to be able to share things from my childhood with my children. So this time, I was interested in Pokemon, because it brought joy to my son.

He started asking me to make Pokemon hats of all his favorite characters. However, Snorlax caught my eye. First of all, he’s best known for sleeping and only wakes up to eat. Now that’s what I call life goals!

This hat is always fun to make. It’s so simple that as soon as I start putting his face on, he comes to life. His personality starts to show and I fall in love with him every time.

What’s your favorite Pokemon? How long have you been playing? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear your story.
