Old Skillz

My sister-in-law won some tickets for O.A.R. at the State Theatre and is thinking about selling them because she isn't that interested in the show and they could do a better date night with that money. Anyways, she sent me a photo of the tickets because I spent three years working in the State Theatre box office while I was in college. I was able to tell her where the seats were pretty easily. Looking at the tickets I realized I could even tell her who printed them and when they were printed.

It is so weird the stuff that you remember 11 years after you have a job.

Space Invader Quilt

This year for Convergence I want to enter a quilt in the Art Show . I think it would be interesting to keep track of the cost of making a quilt, both in time and in fabric costs. I would start the bidding for the quilt at the price of the fabric which I estimate to be around $170. I am not sure if anyone would buy a quilt for that much but I think it is going to look pretty awesome.

The quilt is going to have a giant space invader on it and will be about 6'5" square.




Anyways, I am doing the background in a dark gray and I was thinking about this fabric line for the space invader squares:



Each of the squares would be done in patchwork so the space invader would be even more pixelated. I am not sure about the color, I love the oranges, yellows and pinks but Zach seemed to think the orange wasn't so nice.

Washer

Last week out washer started leaking. We decide that it was time to replace it for a larger one that doesn't have a (useless) dryer. Zach picked it u Saturday but we didn't get it installed this weekend because we were working on our kitchen for most of the weekend.

Today Zach replaced the outlet and bought a new pan. My brother just helped him put the washer in place. However, I just went to put the water hook up on and they were the wrong size! So close!!!
