Life Update: Quitting Work & Starting A Business

Hello, bonjour, konichiwa! I hope all you guys are having a fabulously fun and happy week so far :) This past week has been a bit of a whirlwind for me, so I thought it'd be nice to update everyone and take a look at what I've been up to recently. Plus I just love a good chatty post, don't you?

Stickin' it to the man! Or not. You may or may not have seen from my Twitter lately, that I quit my job last week. Friday rolled around like any other day, I went into work, smiled and nodded, got on with my jobs and expected to be home by 6pm. This didn't seem to happen though, I was in fact home by 1pm. I can't tell you some awesome quitting story unfortunately, as much as I'd love to. I just got spoken to crappy once again by my boss, and basically called stupid (not the first time) and I'd pretty much had enough. When I was on my lunch break I realised just how unhappy I was, almost to the point of tears, and decided to walk out and not go back. That's pretty much it. I haven't regretted it once, I'm only really sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to two ladies I worked with who were absolutely lovely. I don't even have contact details for them which sucks, they made work bearable and were so lovely to me. I wish I could have thanked them.

Let's do this!
Since then? Well I've been a mixture of terrified and ecstatic. I have moments of panic like, 'oh my god I quit a job without anything else as a backup!' and then Gary will calm me down reassuring me he can take care of us and everything will be okay. The rest of the time I've been crazy productive, creative and planning. I've began doing design work again, and by some amazing, supportive twist of fate; you guys have been buying! I cannot express how much of a help this has been! As well as this, I've been finally putting a plan of action into place concerning my Etsy store. I've been researching suppliers for a whole range of products that I'll soon be releasing, including phone cases, stationary, jewellery and much more! SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! I can't wait to show you guys my designs. Be patient with me though, they'll be rolling out in the next few weeks.
It's looking more and more like this could be my job.. at least for a while. If it all fails and I don't do well, then yes I'll be back on the job hunt and doing anything to get paid. Right now though? I'm putting my heart and fucking soul into doing something I love. I'm getting up at 6am and going to sleep in the quiet hours of the night, so that I can spend every second creating, planning, working, blogging, and sharing it all with you guys :) I hope you'll join me along this little journey... and please, wish me luck!
On the less crazier side of things, this week has seen me spending more time with family, getting excited for a blogging event in Manchester this Sunday (yay! I will post about this afterwards!) and pretty much loving life. I feel so free and creative, like there's a little bit of lightening running through my veins. If I can keep hold of this feeling, I might just be able to pull this all off...
Anyway. That's enough rambling for now. How is your week going?
