From Loss to Creativity: A Design Shift

Hello, it’s good to be back.

My last blog post went live exactly five months ago, on February 3rd. A lot can happen in that amount of time, and for me, these past few months have certainly been a period of significant change and reflection.

Life, as it often does, threw a curveball. Shortly after that last post, my beloved Boston Terrier passed away. It was incredibly tough, and for a while, my creative energy, and honestly, my focus on everything but her, dwindled. Healing takes time, and sometimes, you just need to step away and breathe.

During this period, I had a lot of time to think about the direction of my work and what kind of support small businesses and fellow creators need. Initially, I started out making products featuring my patterns – things like mugs, tote bags, and other fun items. And while I loved seeing my designs come to life on physical goods, I realized that my core motivation is in the designing and creating itself.

That’s why I’ve made a shift that’s all about providing design support (or shall we say “style crumbs”) for your creative ventures. From now on, I’ll be offering digital seamless patterns that you can download with a click. With a commercial license included, these patterns make your products and projects truly shine.

It feels good to be back, and I’m looking forward to starting a new chapter. I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you create with our Style Crumbs patterns.
