soggy

The weekend is so close we can almost smell it. I woke up early, and stayed in bed for as long as possible. Chaucer hung out around our feet.

I worked more on the current batch of pants yesterday. While I didn’t get any decent photos, I was still productive. I installed all the elastic in one pair, and two of the three bands in a second pair. Unfortunately, I was running the final one halfway through the waist when I realized I hadn’t finished a line of decorative stitching in the waistband. I finished the decorative stitch, but have yet to put the elastic in.

I should have better luck taking photos today. Things didn’t go smoothly yesterday. I tried to take pics inside, but I wanted to leave the front door open behind my improvised backdrop. It was a bad idea with the wind, and I should have known better. I’m fucking stubborn and thought I could deal with it. I couldn’t, and the whole attempt was an utter failure. The back yard was way too bright to take photos when I motivated myself to do them. I couldn’t see my phone’s display to even position the camera properly, let alone pose myself from 6ft away.

Today will be more of the same. Compared to yesterday, today’s breeze may as well be nonexistent. I’m going to finish the elastic in yesterday’s pants, close the front door, and put up the backdrop. After lunch – when the sun has moved – I’ll take the gear outside for the “casual catalog” photos. My goal is to have all the photos taken and ready for listings to go live tomorrow. I’ll find some time to spin and smut between.
