Unfortunately, that wasn’t meant to be. At exactly 36 weeks gestation my baby’s heart stopped beating in the early hours of the morning. I was induced and delivered a baby girl [...]

I’m welcoming in the fresh decade with a new look on CraftBlog. I’ve been chipping away at this design for ages now and I finally feel like it’s ready to be launched.
