My answer to the Thankful SBQ:
My stitching has always been a way for me to de-stress at the end of a busy day. It allows me to take my mind off of things that I may not want to face or think about. It also allows for a decompression period if I need one. But, I've never been more thankful for my stitching than during this whole year and especially these last few months. You see, my husband and I have been tackling some difficult issues (both individually and together) since the beginning of the year. Add to that the craziness of the last few months and you have one stressed out girl. Top that off with the loss of our first child during the 8th week of pregnancy and you have a woman ready to head to the loony bin. Thankfully, my stitching has allowed me to keep my sanity and restore me back to myself. I was able to pour my grief due to our loss into a lovely memory/memorial sampler which I will be framing sometime this week.
Happy Stitching!

I've been thinking about you and praying things are going to get better. I know adding in the holidays to the mix can be very hard, or they were for me.
Write me sometimes and I'll be glad to listen, promise.

:-) to you along with lots of ((((hugs)))) you've been on my mind a lot lately!
Thoughts, prayers and many hugs your way!!
Jennifer - keep the faith. I lost my first child at 13 weeks. It was a very difficult time for my husband and myself. In fact, I was so distraught over our loss and then, conceiving again, that it was over 2 years before we were once again pregnant. Once I was at peace with our loss and the fact that it may just be the two of us, I became pregnant. I am now the mother to 2 wonderful little boys. They are the joy of my life. I know how difficult a loss like this can be, but have faith that you will see the other side of the mountain. Things will get easier. My thoughts are with you. Happy Stitching :o)
