COLLAB FOR AUTUMN/FALL CHALLENGE AT OSAAT

FINAL WEEK OF

Happy Sunday to all!!  Before I talk about all the AMAZING fun going on at ONE STITCH AT A TIME this week, I want to get "real" with all of you for a few minutes.  I don't mean to sound like a huge bummer or complainer, but just feel I need and want to share this.  Over the past few weeks, I have gone through a very difficult time with my oldest daughter who is 12 and has high functioning Autism.  She just began middle school this week and it has been a huge struggle for her - all of her issues and episodes are related to social behavior.  She knows she's "different" but doesn't know why.  Also, she can't really understand or express any of the emotions she's feeling, which makes things very difficult.  This time over the past month with her has been so heartbreaking for me as her mother.  It is just really hard to watch one of my children struggle so much and not be able to do anything to help.  I apologize if I have been a bit "out of it" over the past few weeks, but I have found it hard to get through this difficult phase.  I am so thankful for my crafting and being able to serve on many amazing DTs because it really allows me a great escape and let's me transport myself to somewhere fun and stress free.  Thanks so much for listening.
