Thanks for your prayers dear friends. God heard them and Oscar is improving.
We had such a difficult time, but I never lost faith and my brother is recovering.
Thanks for been there for me. I also had visitors and flowers from friends near me.
And specially Jimmy, the best shoulder to hold me when I was feeling so worry.

Gracias queridas amigas por vuestras oraciones. Dios las escucho y Oscar esta mejorando. Pasamos dias tan dificiles, pero nunca perdi la Fe y mi hermano se esta levantando. Gracias por estar ahi para mi. Tambien tuve visitas y flores de amistades cerca mio. Y especialmente Jimmy, el mejor hombro para sostenerme cuando me sentia tan preocupada.

Finally my afghan is finished . It measures 2 x 1.6m and it took 1.3 k very fine wool.
That's why it took me so long.
I added 4 pompoms in the corners

Spring started yesterday 1st September so I removed all the dark colours of winter. Everything is pale and light now, 2 new small cushions with patchwork and the new afghan at the foot of the bed and is done! Was also Fathers Day, so a nice lunch with the family.
