ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne, ne ne ne ne ne ne ne BATMAN!

It's finished, it's posted, it should get there today.


Hurry Mr Postie, I wanna know if my little mate likes his early birthday present.


There are many adventures to be had, so hurry Mr Postie, please!

1 x batman cape completed.  

The symbol is in yellow and black felt.  I have hand sewn the symbol to the cape, so that if Batman
is no longer 'the thing to do', then our little hero can ask his Mummy with his best manners to take it off and all she has to do is snip the knot and gently unpick the thread.  Much easier when done by hand than by machine, and less pull and stress on the cotton poplin too.  The same goes for the little badge at the neck, which can be sewn onto a pillow or library bag or attached with a piece of black satin ribbon, makes the perfect bookmark.  

Thanks for stopping by my place today.
Have a wonderful week wherever you may be.

Little Stitches = Big Pleasure

A custom project for a very special little friend.  
I do hope he likes it.
I do hope his adventures are many and his dreams are big.



ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne BATMAN!

I shall reveal more soon - I promise!

Thanks for stopping by Joycie's place.
It's so lovely to be back, it's so lovely to *make* time to hang out with my camera for a few minutes today.  I miss my camera, I miss blogging.  
It's been busy, but is the most wonderful kind of busy this Joyce could ever dream of.  
I do promise to share soon.  
Thank you for sticking it out.  
Thank you for hanging around.  

Bless.  xx

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter at your place.

Joycie is out there! You bet she is!

I am so excited.
I am so flustered.
I am so shocked.
I am so blessed.
I am so humbled.
I am so gosh!

I am so believing that YES, DREAMS DO COME TRUE.

Joyce has been featured on the blog at northcoastmarkets.wordpress.com

Joyce is only one girl.
One girl that dreamt of having her own market stall.
One girl, one day, her own market stall.

Not only does she have her own market stall, but she 
has now been featured on the 'featured business' page by the 
very lovely Kate Matthews.  

Joyce says thank you to those that made that dream come true.
You know who you are. xx
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Crochet tip.

Joyce says -  'When hooking black or navy, or any dark colour for that matter, I find it much easier to have a white background.  A plain white tea towel is the perfect lap size for this project, and especially since most of my crochet time is at night with my little ones in bed and the kitchen sorted, and the laundry. . . . '
yeah well, let's forget the laundry for now, and the 1950's style crochet tips.  Who cares as long as the wine is chilled, the chocolate is plenty and I have my hook in hand baby!


This is one of 6 custom ordered hangers I am making.  
All black, and looking rather swish, even if I do say so myself.  


 I made some in this colour for my market stall.  I have only got three left. 

Jee!
It's so nice to stop by for some crafting blogging for a change.   
Hopefully there is more to come.  

Have a wonderful Monday at your place.
