I love the idea of your crochet embracing and comforting the hard stone. I especially thought of it as you told of the death of your patient. In my work as a nurse-midwife, I have seen much more life than death. But, I think we need that holding and craddling - like your crochet - when we enter AND when we leave this life. Blessings.

Looks like the stones need a sweater in that snowy weather. And what a beautiful gift from Mr Fern!

Margie: Sorry about your elderly patient, hope his long life was fantastic.
But, the blanket is wonderful. How beautiful it looks..enjoy.
Thanks for the snow pics. Here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland we are about to get a SNOW STORM, un-heard of, actually...can not wait.

One of the best things about having internet again is being able to visit your beautiful and warm blog Margie :) Mr. Fern sure know the way to Mrs. Fern's heart, what a lovely gift to receive.

I discovered your blog about this time last year. It's wonderful to see your snow photos and beautiful christmas crafts while I have a different kind of xmas sweating in the tropics!
Seasons greetings and thankyou for sharing your lovely blog.
