RIP, Fess...
All the better to see you with...
Yes, these are my real aphakia glasses, in normal sized frames. Yes, they are incredibly heavy (they bruise my nose, actually if worn more than a few hours) and they are disfiguring, after all, magnify anyone's eyes by 32 times magnification and they'll look like Edna Mode. Good thing I like Edna Mode!
The best part about wearing these though is that at least when you go out people hvae a clue that you're visually impaired. I have wicked blind spots in these and everything is distored and hugely enlarged- like looking through a fishbowl. At least they see you coming and give you a wider berth LOL.
Funny story- I got stared at in public for the first time in them and the kid (old enough to know better) walked straight into an end cap. Only funny cause he wasn't hurt, of course- but hope he learned a lesson. A friend said "If you weren't so nice, Bru you'd have said to that kid, "I guess you couldn't see where you were going!" *LOL*
I look like a Powerpuff girl, or perhaps a Muppet (specifically, Beaker, more likely, Gonzo with dark bangs). Either way there are worse things to look like and being blind is worse than looking like almost anything!

I mean, when there are sights like this to be seen...
He carried his stuffed animal up onto the rocking chair then proceeded to snuggle with it. Too cute.
...and the top of our little Christmas tree...
hope you have great holidays!

We'll just call them hats for a lady of style instead...
The blue hat has a brim that can be worn four ways (and counting)
the cream colored one is a little more standard.
there's one more but I didn't get a picture of it before it had to go into the wash (thanks to Mr. Bru for taking care of that part)
Will be sending these off to their intended recipient as soon as possible and hope that she will feel the wishes for a speedy recovery that I worked into each stitch.
Even though I had to work with the yarn and hook literally right under my nose to see with the one eye to make these, it felt so good to do it.
I can't wait until I can get my new lenses and really get some projects going. It's been way too long.

It's official
I'm in love.
I love him, I love his message.
Wall E is the real thing.
My new favorite Disney film of all time- right up there with Mulan...
In Memory
Of Randy, who loved monorails as much as I do. . .this may be the world's first crocheted monorail, I don't know. But I gave it my best shot.
I hope his parents will like it.
RIP Yves . . ..
it's the end of an era. . .
. . .but where would you wear this? That's all I'm asking.
