I like Tootie, and I love her work, however I don't like the times she or any other designer goes over the wire and AWOL.
I really appreciate a heads-up when they do, I prefer to get a brief e-mail or ICQ stating that things aren't going as planned, over sitting in the dark with the mushrooms, pondering hiring a new designer.
I've told Tootie on a number of occasions to raise her prices, but she continues to keep prices low. Honestly, you get what you pay for. If Tootie was charging the scale prices, and she (or anyone else) was still skipping out, (not replying to ICQ or e-mail pings) then you could have something really to bitch about.
