TO DO LIST

[bertine]

So, I had a moment of panic this morning. It wasn't terrible because gwangi is good at calming me down but it makes me want to write a to do list.


CONvergence:
Buy SFGH Buttons
Pull out the hole and shorten the top braces and cover them in foam
Finish Space Invader quilt*
Fix my Poison Ivy Dress since all the green washed out**
Make a skeleton dress with fetus
House of Toast stuff

Baby:
Fix the walls in the new baby room
Paint
Rehang the shelves
Put covers on the electrical outlets
Get rid of the Poang chair
Redo the drawers in the cabinet so it will fit baby stuff
Call insurance to figure out how to pre-approve delivery and if breast pumps are covered.


Garage Sale:
Figure out if we are having it
Make Facebook invite
Make Craigslist ad
Get stuff for sale ready

Misc
Sell Nest Magazines
Get glass in bathroom window
Fix weights/ropes in two windows
Figure out missing check thing with the condo association

**Only the binding is left!! Also, I am going to start the bidding at $300. It is about a queen size quilt and I have about $170 in materials into it. What do you think, do you think someone will buy it for $300? That would go far in the baby world.


** I am thinking about getting a leaf stamp and then stamping the dress with various shade of green leaves. I will also need to get some sort of pants for it since my belly is going to cause the dress to ride up a bit.

$300 seems like a reasonable start. I would guess that the bidding will go higher. There's a lot of skill and labor involved there and it's an awesome quilt.

ETA: Plus it's been "blessed" by Xerxes. That ought to be worth something too.

I think that's totally reasonable on the quilt. I've seen handmade quilts go for twice that, and this one has the geek chic thing going for it.

That is what I was thinking. It would be awesome if it went for more since any extra money means less worry for covering the maternity leave. I know people spend a lot in the dealers room so I was hoping that means people would spend that in the art show.

It would be nice if the bidding went higher but I sort of feel like I am not willing to part with it for less than $300.

I should post this picture with the quilt saying "cat tested and approved"!

I think it's completely justified and reasonable to not part with it for less.

You know Xerxes would be a very effective ad model...but be warned that it will probably inflate his already-large sense of self-importance. :D

I'd like to be in the consideration for the Poang chair and footstool if nobody else wants it! :)

Three hundred bucks is very generous on your part, may the bids go through the roof.
Also fetus skeleton is an adorable costume idea.
