I started to post this in my Etsy shop this morning but the scanned image looked blurry but I'm not sure why that would be. I've always felt inferior about my scanned images in my shop - seems like every other seller has beautifully photographed items. (Most stuff sold there is 3 dimensional so it can't be nicely scanned, but still.) So yesterday I built myself a light box. I need to get a piece of white paper for inside on my way home from work today.

Also sellers have the ability to post 5 photos of each piece, but it seems to me, some people put extra pictures, just because they can - they don't add any informational value. But I think I need to step up that part of my game too, which I can do easily if I photograph my pieces. I can show the back, the notepad in the open position. I'll have to fiddle around. All this will be more time consuming than slapping a piece on the scanner, but worth it in the long run I think.

Reggi is no better, no worse today so we're going to take her to the vet. I'll call as soon as they open at 8:00. Something is clearly hurting her in her back end, back legs region. We still can't figure out specifically what. I can move her legs, but she's clearly weak there, has trouble making it up stairs and can't jump up on the couch. It's breaking our hearts and if I let go of this tight grip of my emotions and start thinking bad thoughts, I'll be a goner. So tight grip it is. No point in getting ahead of ourselves. (She's 7 years old, in case you're wondering. They live to be 12-15.)

That's enough of that.
