I should make more of these

This evening I sat down at my computer and hoped that my partner had uploaded my new photos onto the computer. It's not that I don't know how to do it myself, it's that it's one of those tasks that is "his job" and I have somehow lost the will or inclination to do. This goes both ways. One of my jobs is food preparation. I came home once and he was so proud that he had managed to make himself some trail mix out of the baking ingredients he found in the cupboard for a snack at no point realizing that we had trail mix on the counter. I swear we are both relatively smart people. I imagine this is part of the slow progression to being an 80 year old who doesn't know how to use the phone. Concerning, but perhaps also beautifully dysfunctional.

So, the good news for me is that he did and I didn't have to feel weirdly lazy about putting off posting for another day.

I tried no eye contact with the camera. I think the photo hides my weird bangs but maybe I look like I'm smelling something awful.
This is the Alma blouse from Sewaholic Patterns. I made this blouse a few months ago out of some leftover fabric I made a Cambie dress out of. I made it as a mulsin to test out the pattern and then forgot about it in my closet. I was able to make a size 8 without any alterations with a really great fit. I was able to pull this over my head so I skipped inserting a zipper. The tie belt pulls the waist that little bit extra but can be loosened after big meals.

The lighting makes it look like I have photoshopped myself into this photo. It just leaves one to wonder why I would choose a backdrop of a building with tinfoil on the windows.
I grabbed this out of the closet the other day and realized that I really love this blouse. The fabric is beautiful but I also really like the fit and comfort of this top. It feels perfect for getting a little more pulled together after a day at the beach. In a cotton voile it's perfect for summer. This is now on my to-sew-again list.

Do you have any jobs that you have lost the ability to do? Should I be worried I don't know how to turn on my TV?

The window across from me has tinfoil on it, too. I choose not to take photos in front of it, however. Learn how to upload photos, silly billy.
