A Calico Farewell
I'm sad to say it's time for another Design Team farewell. I'm so grateful for and excited about all the work/travel adventures coming my way, but it does mean that I can't give my design team work the attention it deserves. So today, with a heavy heart, I'm saying my farewells over at the Calico Craft Parts blog. I adore working with the Craft Parts, as will be clear to anyone who's read my posts about them - they've inspired some of my favourite creations of all time.
Happily I have a good store of them to continue playing with, but I hope you'll have a chance to pop over to Calico to see some of those favourites and say farewell. Plus there are some fantastic designers joining the team, so do make sure you keep an eye on what they're up to over there!
Painful though parting be, I bow to you as I see you off to distant clouds.
