Information, support, and ideas on how to be a supportive friend to someone who loses a child to stillbirth, from a mom who has been through it
(Topic: knitting, Christmas gifts) Hi Friends! For Christmas this year, I decided to knit one present – a daring act, since I often procrastinate or take on too much, and end up with nothing done! But I picked a smallish project that ended up going faster than anticipated, so my Dad got a finished gift

(Topic: Knitting) Hi Friends! For those of you who are new readers, my posts alternate: Saturdays are something light and usually related to my hobbies, so they are often posts about things like knitting or crafting projects.
