I've decided to step down from the design team at Studio Calico for personal reasons. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the outstanding support and love I've gotten throughout my time designing for SC.
Everyone. Yes. From April and Greg and little darling Claire, to the fabulous people at SC hq, to my awesome fellow team members and the most important, all of you, thank you, for everything. I wish the *somewhat* new SC team nothing but the best.
SC shaped me to become what I am now. I am my own person but I believe SC helped me develop my own style, one I think is really me. A little bit of fun, a little bit of sass, some stitching and a whole lot of heart.
Nothing much will change, really. I'm still me. I'll still be at the forum, for the members have become more than friends :) I'll still be creating and posting here and there, hoping to inspire at least one person out there. That is why this is not a goodbye. Creating is in me and I hope you'll come along for the journey :)
So what next?
Nothing. :) I'm dateline~less. Free. Un~attached. :) For now, I'm furiously stitching a fun alphabet sampler. I also have a layout on the side for when I'm sick of looking at the tiny holes on my linen. LOL.
I'll see you soon! :)
