Semi-retiring from designing
It's been a real long time since I was last on here. So much has happened, it almost gives me motion sickness. To Cliff-Note what has gone on:
William was hospitalized a month ago with another round of double pneumonia as well as having a fever of just below 106 that wouldn't go down. He was in for nearly a week. He's doing better now, but has developed a heart murmur due to the complicated infections he's had to deal with as well as the fever and medication series used both at home and while in the hospital.
I have had another bad "round" with my PCOS. I'm on an intensive hormone treatment to get bleeding under control. I'm very anemic, weak, tire very easily, and am now doing battle with some sort of respritory bug I'm praying like heck William doesn't get. I'm running out of options on how to get the bleeding under control. Radical surgery may be the only thing that will help keep me from slowly bleeding to death. But, it will also mean saying goodbye to trying to have another baby ever again.
With my own drama going on, not including what transpired at the beginning of the year, I have had to make the heartbreaking decision of cutting back on my stores and designing. I am leaving Digi Fox's Studio and Fairy Dream Designs, with today being my last day at both of them. I will be an exclusive-only designer for Kreative Kreations Korner, and will not work any place else. You will find designs, products, and never-before seen creations here and here only.
I hurt to have to step back, but with all that's gone on, I have been very depressed, frustrated, and rather empty to put it mildly. I want to take the time to thank both Foxy and Amanda for their wonderful opportunity for allowing me to design for their stores. Maybe in the future I'll be able to handle more on my plate, but when designing becomes a hard chore, not being fun any longer, it's time to reflect, see what has caused the change, and then do something about it to make it fun again.
I'll still be doing freebies, and do as I can to design. I've started to find my way back to my Mojo Spider once again, and hopefully this wee spark of flame will begin to grow once again so my creativity can enjoy this wonderful passion and past-time of mine with designing.
Both stores are on sale for 60% off until midnight tonight. Once the 15th arrives, they will close down and none of those designs will ever be sold again, ever. Thank you for all your love and support during this difficult time I've had to face. I hope you'll look around both stores and see if there's something you just can't live without. Thank you seems so small to say, but those are the only two words I'm able to find to express the overwhelming gratitude and appreciation I have for my customers, fans, and most of all friends.
