DJ - I'm so sorry to hear about your DH.  Sitting here in shock.  Your strength through everything the last year or so has thrown at you is amazing! Sending both you and your DH (and all your family) loads of love and hugs! :) :-*

Life throws us many challenges DJ and you certainly have had more than your fair share.  I do hope DH is recovering well and his results will be exactly what you want to hear. I'm so glad you are at the stage where he can be left for short times so that you can do a bit of nannying and what a great idea you came up with to while away the hours waiting for things to happen and during his convalescence.   Wishing you both all the best and hoping a normal life will come your way again very soon.  :-* :-*

The edging is perfect for your blanket, and it looks so soft and snugly  8). Well done DJ!

Life's curveballs are so cruel....I wish him nothing but a positive report, and a smooth road to recovery.....and many hugs to you DJ xx

Gorgeous Blankie DJ and I love the next project, the Baby Afghan. Looks like it's heavy enough not to fall off during the night. Should keep you busy! Though, squares are more portable, as you say.

Glad you've let everyone know about your DH. There's a lot of support here.

Thanks for the UK TMX newsletter too! It's way better than the Aussie one with loads more recipes.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Thanks for the kind messages, it means a lot to both of us.
We can't change the hand we've been dealt, just hoping we can get a better life eventually.

At least the lighter days are coming, even if not a lot warmer. Until the jet stream moves I can't see us having much of a summer? I hope I am wrong.

I hope warm days aren't far away dj love to you both xxx

your blanket is gorgeous,  a very dear friend of my parents crocheted each of my children a beautiful white blanket when they were born sending it all the way from Ireland.  they  still have them and in the cooler months we have them on their beds.  I've tried in vain to crochet but can't get the hang of it

What a rotten time you have had lately. I hope that things improve for you both soon, and your DH continues to recover, along with your weather.
