Eyes - Thank you for cooperating, not

The flare up I had in my right eye 2 weeks ago is gone, but my left eye decided to start acting up last night, just in time for my appointment with the corneal specialist this morning.  Thank you for cooperating, but I really am not looking forward to 3 days of feeling like a red hot poker is being stabbed in my eye, and staying in dark rooms because the light hurts.  Not to mention the taste Vigamox drops leave in the back of your throat as its absorbed into the mucous membranes.

So much for getting a good start on the Ornament Challenge, there's minimal stitching going on, and its slow going.  Top priority is the Threadbasket /  C Mon Monde SAL, since there's a short deadline and I'm held hostage for the next part of the chart.  I've heard there will be a second session, starting Nov. 6, if people are still interested and want to join.  More details are here, but that page doesn't reflect the information about the Nov 6 date.

Now for the good news, I stopped by Jill's studio on the way home, and she finished the painting on Tom the Turkey.  OMG, she outdid herself.  No pics for now, since I don't have the piece yet, she literally just finished it and still needs to put the glass in.  She took pics before the glass went in, and is emailing them to me.  So, this is a teaser.  It always amazes me how I can go in, say a few words about what I'm thinking of, and then she comes up with a true work of art.
