The Diaper Cake

So a friend of mine here in Japan is about to have a baby!!! So I decided to make this incredibly cute diaper cake as a gift. I'm super proud of it. It has 3 tiers of diapers rolled up. the bottom tier has socks and baby oil, the middle tier has a bib, and the top tier has a baby food container in the middle. There's also a pinwheel in the side to stabilize it. I put it all on a cute platter, then wrapped it in a nice clear bag with a bow. Hope they like it!!!!

The Scarf: Part I

So it turns out my circluar knitting needles were about twice as big a I thought they were. This means that my first version of the scarf was WAY too big. I made a lovely Harry Potter tube top. I ordered the correct size needles online and they're being shipped to me for free, YIPPIE!!!! Unfortunately I have to unravel hours and hours of work
:-(

The Harry Potter Scarf

Staying home from work did have an upside. It gave me some time to finally finish the Harry Potter scarf I promised to make Mamiko. It took quite a while to make because of its size. Now that I've finished this one, I'm going to start on another one using a different pattern. Unfortunately it's just as much work as the last one. Hopefully I'll finish it before I leave Japan (although I may not have enough yarn)

Update

I wish I had a more exciting update, but I've pretty much been sitting at home for the past 8 days. I went to the doctor (again) yesterday. He didn't want to see me, but luckily the teacher I was with made him. He decided that I need to have an endoscopy, but he can't fit me in until Thursday.

I'm a little unhappy with the lack of urgency in Japan. I'm not surprised that people keep dying in ambulances here, because they're being sent from hospital to hospital. I may have better health insurance, but that doesn't mean I have good health care.

Anyway, I'm doing my best to hold out till then. Thanks for all your prayers!
