Kethry with Tinkerbell:


Henrietta went but she mostly slept:



It is so much fun bringing little kids to CONvergence. Kethry got to see lots of Disney Princesses, including Elsa, her favorite. Also so many superheroes, including many Wonder Women, which both the girls were dressed up as. Henrietta didn't care about it at all. Next year will be more fun with her.

CONvergence is next week and here is my annual list of things to do before it:

1. Pay tabs (I know it has nothing to do with CVG but I need to do it before the end of the month).
2. Figure out what costumes I am going to wear. I think it is just going to be GCRG and some fun wigs.
3. Buy another bottle of champagne and pack supplies for French 75s. Thanks pen_grunt for introducing me to those.
4. Go through the SFGH bin to make sure we aren't missing anything.
5. Print out SFGH flyers.
6. Clean the office so Zach's sister has a place to sleep.
7. Go to Trader Joe's to buy supplies.
8. Buy Hot Sauces for the House of Toast
9. Pack
10. Get Henrietta's costumes together

CONvergence:
Buy SFGH Buttons (Just need the other Classy Bitchez to approve of them)
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 (I really want to do this but I worry about time)
House of Toast stuff

Baby:
Paint Touch-ups
Paint Woodwork
Paint Electrical Cover
Rehang the shelves
Change out electrical outlets
Put covers on the electrical outlets
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.

Misc
Sell Nest Magazines
Get glass in bathroom window
Fix weights/ropes in two windows

This is mostly a list for my own sanity. Things I need to do in the next six weeks:

1. Finish making Zach's mom's birthday present
2. Finish Space invader quilt
3. Invite everyone I know to this
4. Make some awesome dessert for the House Party/Fundraiser
5. Finish lots of cool stuff at work.
6. Get the SFGH supplies out of storage and check to see if we need more buttons
7. Screen print shirts for the GCRG
8. Go to Philly for a week
9. Pack for camping this weekend (I almost forgot!!!)

I think that is all the important stuff. The next couple months are going to be fun!

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.
