                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, My Lovelies,</p>
<p>I first want to start by thanking every single person who has ever purchased some form of clothing from me. When I initially started as a seamstress, it was merely to make money. Quickly, I learned that craft is something you have to be passionate about and clothing is my passion. I've come a long way from the girl I was when I arrived, to the woman I am now. I still recall my first days working under both Tara and Nan who taught me so much about this world of crafting. However, often I found myself being the sole crafter of clothing, despite trying hard to recruit and pass on my knowledge.</p>
<p>While I loved it, I always felt pressured to do things at a certain time or always be available. I know it wasn't intentional nor did I mind it too much. If you enjoy what you do, it's no longer considered a job. I absolutely love seeing people wear my creations, especially when I'm given free rein to design how I like. I say all this though to announce that I am finally taking a break from major clothing orders. I've recently met Mister Miles and he is delightful, with he and Lady Tara in the city I now feel like I can pause without worrying about how you all will receive your garments.</p>
<p>To clarify, I am not leaving the city. I will just be taking more time for myself without worrying about orders. I do have another business I'd enjoy putting some time into as well. I will announce that soon when I'm more prepared. I will still take orders from friends and newcomers, though for all other orders I thoroughly encourage you all to send them to Mister Miles or Lady Tara. If you have any questions, please send them to Thalia!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>J'Orla The Terrible (Do you like my self-made title?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>P.S This <span style="text-decoration: underline">does not</span> include members of my guild. My guild itself will very much remain active and all members within will have access to any fabric or dye I own. </strong></p>]]></content:encoded>
