wherefore art thou?

Although for the past several months there has been no news from the "studio" I have still been creating/designing/crocheting/knitting. We are living in the Charlotte area and really getting settled. It was a tough transition but I am starting to love love the south. In finding my way building new friendships and maintaining old I have learned many lessons. The lessons don't all relate to sewing/crocheting/designing but lessons learned, some hard and some rewarding. My most valuable lesson is to stop trying to please others, do what makes me happy and don't feel guilty for it! I have learned to enjoy myself more this way. Like everybody else I have some great qualities that I am strengthening and some not so great qualities that I am working on. One of the better qualities about myself is my interest in trying new things and exploring possibilities. Which is a reason there is so many pieces to Twinkle Design Studio! On that thought over the next few months I plan to reorganize my "hobbies" and try to find a place to sell my goodies! Any and all suggestions are welcome! ... For now I must bid adieu
