Adieu, Goodbye, Ciao, Despedida!

This is quite a difficult post to write and I have been putting it off but the time has finally arrived. Way back in 2010 I started this blog as an outlet for my passion for prints and patterns and the wonderful world of surface design. It has been a labour of love and an exciting journey and I've been lucky enough to be able to share the print and pattern work of so many talented designers on the blog.

Over the last year my life outside of this blog has taken a different creative direction and I have decided that it is time to say goodbye. Thank you to everyone who has left a comment, emailed me with their work and inspired this blog - stay creative!
