I do believe the bottom blanket makes you happy instantly and your Mothers Love Blanket is absolutely pretty. The stories behind are what makes them even more beautiful.<br />I also crochet and right now I am doing the last rows on a triangle shawl fot the late summer evenings when you still want to sit outside, but it is a little bit chilly. But last year I made a blanket, with 8 other ladies, for my lifelong best friend, who was dying from cancer. We called this the Friendship Blanket, since we made it together in just 3 weeks. The blanket was on her bed, the last days of her life and on her coffin during the funeral ceremony. I never realized you can put so much feelings in a crochet project...<br />Have a great evening,<br />love,<br />MirjamMirjamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174770324521324806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5820448587005531644.post-75432834279029891832016-07-06T07:45:58.990-07:002016-07-06T07:45:58.990-07:00Love the stories revolving round your blankets, th...Love the stories revolving round your blankets, they are beautiful.

I've had, and hope I've given, so much support during the past few years. You're right, you aren't on your own but unless you reach out to others it can very much feel that way. Crochet is great, check out Attic 24 blog, Lucy has some fab beginners guides.

Reading your back story I realised that we had so many things in common, though very different. You have MS, I have RA. I lost my dearest Dad 3 years 2 months ago. My Mum and Dad lived 300 miles away and he had been so clever in hiding from me that my Mum had dementia. I battled alone with all the dreadful things that happen when someone is on a downward spiral from this awful disease, together with travelling to and fro her home and having my rhuematologist saying .. you can't continue like this, your health must come first. Eventually a lovely doctor persuaded my Mum that a care home would be best and she agreed. That was a year ago. Since then I have sorted the house, emptied it, done removals (fell over in the process and damaged my knee badly!) and in January sold the house. This will now fund her care fees. There are times when you think all these things are only happening to you. But if you lift your eyes and look around there are lots of us in a similar situation. This gives me comfort. Like you, my garden (which suffered and became overgrown over the last 3 years) has given me a purpose again, plus I have started my embroidery projects once more. When I saw your picture a day I thought ... what a brilliant idea. Something to focus on everyday, I read your page with new pic. each morning. Well done to you! I'm sorry to have rambled with too much info. but be sure that I, along with so many other kind souls, really do care and understand. Lots of love to you on a lovely sunny morning.<br />From Paddi XAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5820448587005531644.post-79260138200218516332016-07-06T00:00:18.161-07:002016-07-06T00:00:18.161-07:00Very true Jo, we do :) xxxVery true Jo, we do :) xxxVintage Sheet Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027266547200808397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5820448587005531644.post-32586808117309247002016-07-05T23:40:48.609-07:002016-07-05T23:40:48.609-07:00I love that you think your mum can see the blanket...I love that you think your mum can see the blanket now.
