Batman.

If you thought I was one of those humble people who was going say that my life and most everything about it was riddled with imperfection and then proceed to produce awesome TOTALLY PERFECT crafts, foods, etc. in my sparkling clean design magazine home, you were wrong.

And to prove it, let me introduce batman.  A little project that I cranked out one morning (before I had even had coffee) so that I could shut up the little voice that had been following me around for 3 days saying "sew me a batman!  sew me a batman!"  And when that turned into "mommy, do you think today might be the day that you might please sew me a batman?  I really want a batman.  I've been waiting for a batman!," I knew that either today WAS the day or I was going to be breaking some pretty serious household rules, namely, no yelling and no bad words.

So, here is batman.  He's made with two pieces of 25 cent gray felt and some scraps.  Half his seams are on the outside, half on the inside, the eyeholes on his mask are WAY bigger than what I had in mind and also up in his ears that are WAY smaller.  

BUT, batman isn't for me.  It's for a child.  And that child loves his batman.  A lot.  And if I had tried to make a perfect batman I would still be hearing "sew me a batman. sew me a batman" and using a lot of really bad words.
