today's project

I ordered a variety of shipping boxes from the P.O. and the rest of them arrived today. I will be weighing items one by one and recording the weights, so b can come up with shipping formulas. Like I said, I've had some crazy allergies for the past couple of weeks, mixed in with a pulled muscle and now an outbreak of hives. nice! so I'm kind of poking along, while b works full steam ahead. you wouldn't believe the features he's building into the site. Next up I need to work on the overall look of the site. We initially came up with an *olde store* theme, which morphed into an old barn look, and now I'm thinking fresh and green for spring. I took a load of photos last week as the trees were all sprouting with new leaves on my block. you know that new, lime-green color the leaves have before they've matured? I love it! okay, off to do some weighing!

I had a bit of a sluggish week, dealing with suddenly warm weather and a burst of pollen into the air. as I plodded through, b forged ahead with the technical aspects of the site. finally on sunday we had diane come over, a former co-worker at dna who had modeled for us a year and half ago. since then b has beefed up his lighting equipment and we were able to shoot the session smooth as silk. having t-shirts modeled helps a lot when selling them on a website. all t-shirts are cut differently and it's good to be able to see how they fit. paste t-shirts come in men's and women's cuts, the women's made of a lighter, stretchier fabric. some of the styles were only available for men, so I ordered a few extra smalls. you'll be able to see the difference in how they're cut when the whole collection is presented. I'm going to have b model some of the shirts too, so you can see how they look on a real man. shown are paste's just say yo and chouette's unisex squares t in black/blue.
