... and back again. (I'm moving back to Blogger)

I've been contemplating this for a little while now and it's become clear that this space belongs back where it all began, on Blogger.

SquareSpace is great; it has the capacity to to awesome things. I moved to SquareSapce with the intention of taking advantage of all of it's great features. I had a little business brewing that I wanted to add to my existing blog and the gallery and shopping cart facilities were going to be essential to this.

I've since come to know two important things. Firstly, moving across the country, leaving behind my studio setup and starting a new job has forced me to accept that these things take time. And whilst I still have every hope and plan to start this little business, I really do want to do it right. Secondly, I've realised that I don't want to give up on the ultra personal aspects of blogging and that even when I do get my little enterprise off the ground I will want this blog to remain a separate entity so that I don't have to worry about the professionalism or relevance of my posts. (So. Many. Words. Take a breath)

Actually, there's a third important point. I can't stop redesigning my goddamn blog! My job in Adelaide lacked the creativity of my current work, so my constant rebranding/refacing of this space was a little bit of a creative outlet for me. But now I want to use my creativity to do bigger things! I want to create community in Darwin through my work but also outside of it if I can. (Anyone else think that Renew Darwin needs to happen?)

So this weekend I'm going to port it all back into a much simpler design on Blogger. Unfortunately it is not as easy to get my posts back there as it was to get them over here. Anything from 2014 will have to be reposted, so something strange will inevitably happen to the comments. I guess it's lucky that I've been such a slack blogger lately so there won't be as much work involved!

So yay for that and yay for these two exciting pieces of news:

1. TOM JUST GOT AN AWESOME JOB AND WE ARE SO HAPPY AND I AM SO PROUD and these last few weeks have been so tough but IT'S ALL UP FROM HERE!!!!

2. I got my business cards and I'm pretty excited. (read: I totally think that makes me an adult now despite throwing cardboard around the office this afternoon and giggling like a crazy person)
