after a long week...

sigh. what a LOOONG week it has been. this week was a little scary because my grandfather was taken to the hospital. we thought it might be cancer again, but it turned out to be just an infection. it seemed serious though, because they kept him in the hospital for several days. but he's ok now, happily back at home and on his way to a full recovery :)

well besides the hectic balance between school and the hospital, i've been able to work on very little knitting-wise this week, but here is a hat that i made for a swap with pibbgirl (from craftster) for the Instant Swap 5. it's a hello kitty hat because she really likes hello kitty (was that a duh sentence or what?). due thankfully to the loooong bus rides to and from school and the loooong rides from my house to the hospital, i've also been able to finish a scarf for another great craftster, amyshrugged. but i can't post it yet 'cause she has yet to receive... pictures soon to come (it's of my own design!)

oh and another small happy picture i was able to take. we found this grasshopper right outside our house, sitting on a leaf. so we brought him inside so i could take pictures of him. he's super green, just the lovely shade of green i love! he was quite photogenic and then i left him on the tomato plants on our balcony to jump to his heart's desire.
