Again, I apologize, and hopefully can pick things up again in the coming weeks.Ĭarol Otome no Sewing #16 (November 2021) – Updated with links Soon.įor those of you who have requested diagram scans that have not been fulfilled, I will begin to do those this weekend. Taking mental health days has been a blessing, but I am feeling a need to get to work again. Not without trying, and I promise that “spark” is being nurtured again. It’s been a very stressful year, and all of it was so far removed from this realm of creativity and imagination that I had trouble finding the spark for it again. This is the short version of the story, without revealing too much personal info, I feel. am I finally getting back into a place of rest and solace.

It was decided when no one else in my sparse and distanced family wanted to take up this task, and it would have been left to the state if no one stepped up. I was named the Executor of my grandfather’s estate. And now I must explain myself.Įarlier this year, I have been tasked with a major family event. Your continued support of this beautiful hobby and my work within it has been immeasurable. All I ask is for your understanding and patience. Files for youįirstly: Hello, my lovely friends!
