Things Are Looking Up...and it SHOE is Good!

    This rainbow photo by Silja Erg shows exactly how I'm feeling on this fine Saturday morning! I'm feeling like the rain (metaphorically speaking) has started to lift, and I can "SEE" the rainbow! 
    As some of you know, I've been having a real problem with my eye for a few days now. Well...it's much better! I took a picture on day two of it's flair-up. And last night I took an update picture and...WOW! does it look better! {This is the WARNING, for those squeamish about looking at eyes: I'm going to show you the photos in a minute!} 
    Thankfully, though, it hasn't been so bad that it's stopped me from doing my tennis watching or crocheting! {Congrats to 'My Boy', Nadal!!!...Although Tomic gave him a 'run for his money'! :-]} And it hasn't stopped me from talking with my fingers either! LOL {Along those lines, big thanks to all of you for the nice things you said yesterday about my revealing post about myself. It's so nice to have such nice, thoughtful, people like yourselves take the time to give me a little 'Heart Nudge'. :-) Thank you!!}
    Now, let me show you what I've been crocheting!...First I can tell you that the BIG man slippers are all done...both of them!

    I'm gonna list them in my Wuglyees shop for her next week some time...I had to custom make them to size without the person right here. I much rather alter them to size perfectly to their foot....As you can see, I'm a little nervous about them fitting properly. But I'll just have to trust that the measurements she gave me were completely accurate....I'm sure they were. It's just me. Creative license to be nervous. LOL
    These slippers have given me the "Slipper Bug". Now my mind is thinking about all the different color combinations I could do, and whether to make the sole the same color as the shoes,...and whether to add a flower or not add a flower. ^_^ This is another pair I finished, in a size 'Small'.

      I think these gray and black cuties would look good on a man or woman. Which way do you think I should market them?!
     When I finished these I started working on this...

     In case you can't tell, the colors are gray on one side, and then a combination of colors together on the other side: dark blue and purple yarns, and a black thread added in...This is what they became...

     They kinda look like 'High-Top' slippers. ^_^ They're not though...Now, do I add the flower I made to go with them....or not?! You be the judge.

     It's not sewn on yet. I'm not sure if I like it on there. I need some feedback on this one. Would you like a big flower on the top of your bedroom slippers?!...Hey! Some people have those bedroom slippers with the big floppy rabbit ears! How bad can a flower be?! ^_^ ...Anyway.....!
    Let me also tell you that Velma, over at SnowflakeDreams1, whose having that 'chock full of stuff' Giveaway, has ADDED a necklace to the mix too!

      Okay, look away now, if you don't want to see the before and after eye photos!!!...This is the way it looked after one day of applying warm towels and salve.

      And this morning this is what it looked like.

    I have a much happier eye!!!....I need to pluck my eyebrows, but my eye?!....HAPPY! :-)
     Rainbows and blue skies!!...Well, not really. In reality, we've got another HUGE snow storm on it's way, for around Tuesday. I got my eyes all better just in time to SEE it! OH JOY!!!!.....NOT! ^_^ I hope you all have a 'weather good' weekend!! Me?! I'm going to do this and that, fiddle around with some stuff, and just be...

D-E-B-B-I-E

D-is the Daring that it takes to just be me.
E-is the Emptiness 'The Truth' has helped to flee.
B-is the Blues that I've  felt throughout my life.
B-is the Beauty that I feel, now as Jeff's  wife.
I-is the Issues that come up from time to time.
E-is the Eagerness with which each hill I climb!
