Something so small...

can really be a pain. No, for once, I'm not talking about the kids. I was in the ER last Tuesday with doctors hovering above me and debating the merits of emergency surgery. One ultrasound later, they decided on a referral and sent me home at midnight. Sheesh. What the specialist concluded after much prodding and pushing was that I likely have a gallstone roaming around my innards. Going for more testing next week, and we'll see what happens next. For the time being, I'm going to try and eat SUPER healthy. Should get the little bastard out in no time flat.

Needless to say, I have had a lot of knitting time in the last week, waiting for one doctor or another. Lookit what I made!



It's a mod to a Toddler Hat pattern. Made to match the scarf I finished earlier last week.



Unfortunately, Miss E hates them both with the hatred of a thousand suns. Sad panda moment. So, I now have to figure out what to do with the (unused!!!!) set.

Now then...before I fell ill with my mystery malady, I made some homemade blueberry pies last week. I dearly wish that I'd picked up more (MORE MORE MORE) at William Sonoma when we were in SF. I could happily live in that store. Namely, the handheld pie makers and the madeline pans. But one thing that I was happy to purchase was the Star Wars sandwich cutters. I tried making some Millenium Falcon pies, and they turned out alright. Wouldn't do it again, but at least Miss E enjoyed helping me bake them up.



That skirt she's wearing? The tutorial's here. Cute lil' skirt, VERY fast to make. And perfect for International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
