I have a friend who is a bit unwell at the moment. Unfortunately, she is having some major headache troubles is really disturbed by light. Of course she can't spend all her life in a darkened room, especially as she is off visiting so many doctors so I thought I'd whip up something to help her in the car.
I got some beautiful linen and a deliciously soft piece of minkee....You can see where I was headed can't you, something soft and subtle with a little bit of girliness.
All I can say is it takes some skill to make something this ugly.
(Oh man is she going to freak out her kids)

Awesome Jodie! Does she have green eyes herself? I'm sure she'll love it and get a lot of attention which can't be bad! I would love to see the looks on people's faces when they saw her!
Oh, Jodie. You're great. Seriously, seriously great. I don't actually think I know anyone else who could turn something peaceful and relaxing into something that would frighten kids :-) And that's why I love you!!

you are one funny & thoughtful chic!!
What a fab gift! Both hillarious and scary!!
That is gorgeous. You are a very good and kind friend. I hope things start looking up for your friend. :)
What a fantastic present! Definitely subtle!!! Hope she loves it. Lucy x
I think it will frighten her into feeling better!
Nice Jodie! I hope it makes your friend feel a bit better
You crack me up Jodie!
Hi i'm sure the kids will get traumatized at the sight of her, wearing the mask... :-)
BUT, it's a very god idea to give her this. I have headaches too, and it is a great help with a mask, even though mine is somewhat less smart and scary. hihi

hehe! Thats awesome!
You ARE a nutter.
And a lovely friend!
Oh my - what I giggle I just had! Thanks for a great post! I guess it may be a little scary but the thought was definately there! Gotta get some of that Minkee - please let me know where you got it!

That is excellent - such a great idea and as a bonus some kids are freaked out.
thats scary
buckets of awesome! especially to freak the kids out with.
Funny. It will probably make her day - you're a good friend.

I'm speechless! Her eyebrows are rather lovely aren't they!
Ok I very nearly tipped myself off my chair!
Your project gave me my first laugh of the day. Your right, it takes a lot of skill..
But it is the thought that counts, and I'm sure that your friend will feel better when she has it on.
Hey, I'm your 10000 profile viewer which is funny because I know you anyway. The eyes are fine just a bit far apart. It's a lovely thought too.
Fantastic! If she is wears this in the car then she will give people she passes a startle!
Blessings,
Diane
I love your sense of humour! I'm sure you will make your friend feel better by giving her a chuckle as well as protecting her eyes... and it's just an added bonus that the kids won't be pestering her! The perfect gift!
Vikki :-)
very fun.
now that's what i need. can i wear the mask to work? i feel for your friend - i've been having a "migraine attack" since last april/may and this week has been one in the dark at work. no lights except for what comes in my window.
best of luck to your friend and i'm sure your goodies will make her feel comforted. i always curl up with a blanket at home.
I can't see the last photo, but the first one with the pink fabric? Yeah well I read "sick friend" saw the photo and thought she had a hideous skin disease with pink warts all over her hand. Luckily I looked again.
this is such a great idea...would be wonderful when my migraines come....scaring my kids would be fun too!
You are so thoughtful and kind and maybe just maybe...a bit wacky?! I think this is wonderful. Bravo Jodie!!
I love it, it looks awesome!
It's going to make her smile, which she probably really needs!
Is she having migraines? I get them too :( Your eye cover is hilarious, what a great friend you are!
That is absolutely hysterical!!! I love it, and it is a very thoughtful gift-will give something necessary in two forms.an eye cover and a heck of a laugh! LOVE IT!
That is hilarious! I love it - great gift idea!
What a thoughtful thing. I love it and it will make her giggle I am sure. Good Luck to your friend.
Fabulous dahling! Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, 'Just resting my eyes!'
Minkee?... just makes me think of Clouseau...is that yeur minkee?
LOVE IT!!! I bet she will too!!
When she's over her illness she can wear it backwards and REALLY freak her kids out. There's nowhere to hide when your mum has eyes in the back of her head.
Ohh my goodness. I want to be a fly on the wall when your friend wears this while travelling. Can you imagine the looks on other drivers faces when they see it - not to mention her kids. Now I have to ask.....do you sleep?????
what a great friend you are!
Jodie you are hysterical!
Oh Jodie - you made me laugh... but I'm not sure if it was because I thought it was funny or because I was scared...???!!!
But thanks for making me laugh!
Hi,
Now you only need to craft a Hannibal Lector mask.... :-)
Best regards,
José
That really is freaky... but so funny!
Funny! I think it'd be fun to make a pirate one with an eyepatch!
Hey Jodi. What a fantastic gift - sure to bring a smile to your friends face! I had serious headache/migraine issues which took over 8 months to get to the bottom of. Happy to share my discoveries and experience with your friend if desired as I know its an awful place to be.
you'll be getting orders for this one I'm thinking!
thoughtful friend you are.
