With the sudden passing of Amelia's husband, the world has turned upside down and the OPAN team is grieving. We will air reruns for the next couple of months, and we appreciate you continuing to listen as we surround and support Amelia during this incredibly difficult time. ♥

This is one of our favorite episodes that we've ever done. Please enjoy.

On this rerun of On Pins and Needles, we talk about the dynamics of crafting groups, courageous friendships, and how it’s important to stretch ourselves to do creative things that are uncomfortable for our mental and emotional well-being.
