Today was the normal day. I got up super early and started put putting around the shop. Cutting transfers and organizing them into tupperware, and pulling out the ruined ones and putting them in a cast off bin. The thing with them is they come on big sheets, which happen to be about a half inch too short for the drawer they are stored in. When people are in a hurry they pull the sheets out and can end up wrecking them making them potentially useless. A sheet can have 5 big logos on them. I sat and cut all the logos down so they easily fit in the drawer and don't get wrecked when pulled out of the drawer. Small corner logos go in tupperware and stacked on the side of the press. No one has ever done this. It will definately make production faster when pressing, not having to dig around looking for things.
The thing is the weekend is here, and I am at the shop. During the day people might show up, so it's not like I can lounge like I would at home. Of course I'm looking for ways to stay gone most of the day and into the night if I can. I just don't want to spend every dime doing it. I have cravings to buy myself fabric, and knick nacks. But that adds up. I have to be creative. My favorite activity on the weekend is thrift shopping. But here in LA it's like one big yard sale. Some areas it's like wallpaper. Clothes hung as far as the eye can see. That adds up too.
I do have a free movie ticket from when I was banned from the theater because my purse was too big. I didn't have a car then, so I couldn't just put it in the car. So the manager gave me a free ticket so I could see a movie anytime I wanted. Maybe I will do that. But is there anything I even want to see?
Next weekend is my meet up group. So this week I have to get T shirts for the event to pass out. I want to make cute stuff each time. Not the same thing every time. Or anything super boring. It's fun trying to find fabrics for sleeves, and trying to predict what will be a hit and what won't.
I hope I can stay busy
