last day... for a while

So today is my last open day for Little Flower Designs. I've been going non-stop for almost 4 years. And by non-stop I mean, working very long hours 7 days a week. Living, breathing, being Little Flower Designs with time for barely anything else. I've LOVED it, it was my goal for a such a long time before I gained the skills and sales to make it my full-time life. And 4 years is an under estimate, before going full time with my biz, I worked for 8 years in corporate america while honing my skills and figuring out my escape route. So now, here I am facing a welcome change, my little lady will be here soon (soon please little lady, soon!) I want to thank everyone that has supported my little biz and made my dream possible. It is incredible to be a working self supporting artist and now to enter doing it as a mama, I am sure it will be rewarding in a much deeper way. Over the next few months I will be figuring out all things baby and how to combine that with running my biz. I will pop in for updates here and there and of course to announce the relaunch of Little Flower Designs. If you need me, you can always e-mail! I am taking some orders for my return, but be warned the turn around times are sketchy until I get my mama-studio groove going!
Thank you all for your support!
xo, Linda

Congratulations! Hope to check out Little Flower Designs in person one day! My friend Becky of Sweetie Pie Press has a little bud vase made by you that looks adorable (saw it via flickr).

Best,
