puppetmakerYeah it is about a month away but this is the time that I start getting ready for the convention. I have new dolls I want to make. Caroline and Ariel have figured out what they want to do for the Masquerade. We almost have the skits sorted out.
This year I am going to try not to have the run up to the convention to be as insane as it has been in other years. One thing I have going for me is that we figured out the costumes now rather than two weeks before the show.
I like Farpoint. It is one of our regular conventions and it feels very homey. This will be Caroline’s 9th Farpoint. It was her first convention when she was a little over 3 months old. She knows the hotel. She knows the people. I don’t have to worry about her like I didn’t have to worry about Ariel when she was 8 years old and running around with the other kids her age and a little older. We don’t give her free rein but it isn’t like one of the larger conventions that we go to on occasion like New York Comic Con.
So things are ruminating through my brain pan and soon I will start to make the items I want and need to make for the convention. Along with all the stuff that I usually have to do to keep the house in decent shape and the family healthy and happy.
I am grateful for conventions that feel like home.
