My latest and most inspired project.

Honestly, I will get the pictures done soon. DH DDog and I are headed to the city of Angels for a few doctors appointments. There is the neurosurgeon who just operates on brains, the neurosurgeon who just does peripheral nerves, the neurosurgeon who does spine, the neurologist who only see epilepsy patients and is an epileptologist, the orthopedic hip surgeon, the orthopedic shoulder surgeon and his expert internist. Sometimes we see all of them, sometimes we see one, this trip is four experts in two days, including xrays. Just a check up to make sure he is healing well.

So my most inspired and favorite project was started this weekend. My DH eyes are carbon fiber (not glass anymore) drop dead B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L bedroom blue. Really that's the color! The artist and medical professional who makes them colluded with J to create his latest pair of eyes (they get changed every few years, and J has had fake eyes since he was three, with many changes) to be the color that would win him girls at gigs. It worked, I married him didn't I? Well... it is time for a new pair of eyes, sometime they have him wear a bandage while they are making the new set. He hates looking like a pirate. So I am using very soft left over sock yarn to make an adjustable eyepatch with some flat braid and a bra adjuster. If this works out, I will take some more to Tony (the dude that makes the eyes) and contribute them to his trips to third world nations to give freely to those affected by eye disease or injury. It only seems fair to help the guy who helped my hubby get the girl. We are also trying to decide if he is going to stay with blue eyes or try another color for awhile. It's a surprise for Jason and Tony so the label is a warning to them not to read it.
