It serves as a platform to pursue my lifelong dream of dedicating myself full-time to designing and crafting embroidery patterns for your enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pursuit of this dream was progressing smoothly until the spring of 2024, when I migrated my website to a new hosting platform. Unfortunately, during the transition, the entire eight-year archive of my work was irretrievably lost. Undeterred, I&#8217;ve decided to start anew, rebuilding from scratch with an even grander vision and renewed determination to create something better than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who am I personally?
