kicking the new year off with a bang! big news!!

It’s official. I signed the contract. You can see me sign it with all my nerves and excitement in the video above. ;)

I am so, so, so excited to announce that:

I’m designing a fabric line this year with Andover Fabrics out of New York!!

Thank you to Sarah Jane for inspiring me, especially to share this moment on video. And thank YOU Lizzy for so much!!! And thanks to all of you who have been supporting my work and encouraging my creativity all along the way. xo

That’s it, that’s all I can write. If I write any more it will just be a big bunch of exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
