It was for his daughter, the young lady on the computer in one of the first pictures. LOL He is a sweetheart, when I asked for someone to model he stepped up to the plate. He got the hat that he's wearing and the pillow, plus some cookies, popcorn and nuts. He said he loved all of it. The red and black one was his wife's. She also got a framed dolly, she her Mother and my daughter received them and they all three had tears in their eyes. They were crocheted by their great grad mothers years ago. I got a hold of them some time ago, and decided to surprise them with them. Needless to say, they were surprised. You see I tricked them by asking for them to use as patterns. My daughter's, I got from her great grand mother's estate sale. I've had them for year, waiting for just the right moment. I made 5 of the wall hangings,10 ponchos, 5 pillows and I lost count of the hats and scarfs, 5 pairs of curtains,not counting all the candies, cookies, ad the dinner for all. I worked day and night till my fingers were bleeding. All better now. Thanks for all your nice comments.

You did some great gifts. I'm sure your family loves them.
Your poor guy. When my husband had his detached retina, he had to keep his head all the way over to his shoulder for several days. That was enough to make him go crazy. To be in the face down position, we both would have been crazy. My sister's doctor waited several days to take care of hers and she is now blind in 1 eye. People don't realize what a serious condition it is and how quickly it is irreparable. Good luck to him.

He's not exercising, in that chair because he had a detached Retina, he had to stay like that for 22 of 24 hours a day for two weeks after his eye surgery.
