Alas, no stitching...but....the reveal!

Not one single stitch today.  It was one of THOSE days where commitments, jobs and mundane things like (dare I say it) housework and balancing the cheque book take precedence over the fun things like stitching.  Tomorrow I'll be away all day, so it will be another sad day - I will be suffering from withdrawals I know!


 Oh, and you're all so curious about what that mysterious 'thing' was I posted about on Friday?  Well, I hate to tell you that you are likely going to be sadly disappointed when you find out, but hopefully there will be a little grandson who is turning two in a few days who might be happy!  




That 'thing' you saw turned into this!










Which will go along with this, to make a happy little pirate!  Or at least I hope it will!






Today the quote is from Lauryn Hill...."Let me be patient, let me be kind.  Make me unselfish, without being blind.  I may have faith to make mountains fall, but if I lack love then I am nothing at all"

    Who'd a thunk it! A pirate hat!! What a cute idea for a little one. I used to make tutu and other such thingsfor my daughter to wear when she played. This is a cool idea for a little boy. He'll love it.

    Ohhh, I should have know that. Funny how when our mind is geared in one direction for a while we overlook the obvious. I have made a few hats in my time and read up on tem quite a bit. Maybe your mold was what threw me off. But here is a is a tip to share, find a bowl close to the wearer of baseball caps and when you have wash the cap stretch it over the bowl to let it dry.
    You hat and costume is adorable and I'm sure will be worn out by continuous play. I don't think I would ever get rid of the hat. I would start collecting a few of the various hats he wears through the years for display.
