Friday Bits
1. Brian tweeted about this fantastic film blog, I Love Hot Dogs (best name ever?) and I’ve been devouring every post since last night. I love the mix of very underground films I’ve never heard of and great mainstream films. Plus, a reoccurring feature on film typography is great.
2. Craftcation Conference is a three day indie business & DIY workshop conference in Ventura next month that sounds pretty great, is anyone going?
3. I cannot wait to get my hands on the new Plant Journal. The spreads Natalie posted (via Anabela) have this plant lady slightly giddy. I hear it will be at Opening Ceremony LA in a few weeks.
4. I’m not normally drawn to really colorful design work lately, but this identity design for the Swedish pharmacy chain Vårdapoteket by Stockholm Design Lab I spotted on Design Work Life has been stuck in my head for days. Feeling so inspired to do something colorful now.
bonus for my LA readers: Myrtle is having a fun Valentines Day party tomorrow!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Will started a new job this week, his first 9-5 in years, so we’re settling into this new routine where weekends will be much more cherished.

That’s the thing I loved about 9-5 jobs, the weekends really mean something. Good luck to him! And happy weekend to the both of you.

When I started my working 9-5 in November my eyes were really opened. Weekends are to be treasured. I hope Will’s first week went well. I remember how exhausting my first week was, it get’s better!
I’m going to have to email Plant Journal to see if there’s local stockists. It looks so good!

I have been thinking of going to Craftcation for months now. It sounds pretty amazing. Yay for Will! How exciting. Weekends really do mean something trust me. My fiancé works 3 of the 4 weekends a month. We try and make the most of that one weekend.
