Hiatus: 
 Many followers to this website (and my creations) will have noticed a break in my cloth figure designing and creating over the past couple of years. 
Having recently been diagnosed with Grave's Disease, (finally) my symptoms can now be explained, including my inability to concentrate on my craft work. 
With medication I am improving, which is wonderful. Nov 2011
