[porcupinemamma]

Sooooooooo lol, if you're not wearing it... I would be happy to wear it for you. pl- eeeeeeeeease ;0)

[Lftndbt]

LoL thanks!! It's stil hanging in my cupboard... ;)

[Goodhart]

Very nice, but did you know you made his dials (or are they knobs) glow?

[Lftndbt]

I wasn't sure where else, I could place the LeD's.

[Goodhart]

Other then eyes and possibly end of the antennae, I am not sure either....sorry, I shouldn't criticize if I have no solution myself.

[Lftndbt]

Oh... You were criticizing? I wanted to keep his antenae as the + - input. So his knobs for the LeD's seemed best.

[Goodhart]

No problem really, some knobs, and switchers do light up :-)

[Lftndbt]

Te he he, that was the plan. ;)

Congratulations! This may not have gotten an I'bles Feature, but you're on MAKE's home page for today (20 Nov).

[Lftndbt]

Te he he!! Amazing what adding your I'ble to their group does... I think it is automatic.

[Lftndbt]

I really do believe I lost a few brain cells, from the hours spent sewing. Well worth it though. When I can't remember if the battery has any power left (due to brain cell loss), I can just check it with the shirt.

Neat idea though coin cell batteries might work better than a bulky nine volt.

[Lftndbt]

Yes it would.
