On Friday, I quit my job. I am relieved, but terrified. And a part of me feels like I gave up. I've stayed there for 6 years. I've been miserable there for 3 years. And me, not being the advocate of change, not one bit, finally understood that change is what I need. I've applied for several jobs. Something will come up soon. I have money to get by should I be unemployed for a couple of months. I can eat ramen and soup for a while. I feel like I need to justify my choice, but I don't. My friends congratulate me when I tell them, and it fills me with happiness because they want me out of there :)
Been doing some craftiness, but not nearly enough lately. I have all these ideas, but not enough time. Right now, I'm working on a mini book from our trip to Paris. I've been reading Ali's Life Artist book, and got so inspired by her mini books with different sized pages in them. I will put it up in the gallery when it's done, hopefully this week.
I got a copy of David Lynch's book "Catching the big fish" at work. Looking forward to read it. Ever since I saw Twin Peaks when I was way too young, I've been drawn to his weird universes. Which brings me to my next point. I've been contemplating making a blog for talking about music and movies. Mainly because I love both and I want to write about it from time to time, but I feel like I'm already polluting this blog with enough non scrappiness as it is. I don't really care if anyone reads it, I just want to write what's on my mind, what got me into Eels, how much I adore Tarantino, how Jim Jarmusch's movies make me cry, my fascination for Jean Luc Godard, etc.
I don't have any new layouts, but here's a couple of favorites from last month's design team gallery at Papirloftet:
