Ranty McRanty #1

Why is it so hard to find gender neutral things for babies? Wrapping paper? I couldn't even find plain boxes to decorate with the non-existant wrapping paper.
Then there's gender neutral clothing - hmmm... I'm knitting it at the moment, but trying to find a nice blanket!
Grrr!

What I did on my weekend


Off to beading class!


Embellished candles... I feel Christmas presents coming on...

Coshocton

My fav myspace page is actually a library page – wildly envious, and the librarian is one of my heroes… Coshocton Public Library. RoseMary seems really nice. She has a blog, too. So I’ve been to visit the Coshocton teens’ site, blog and myspace pages to see how they’re different from each other – and what we could do here.

Well, well, well...

What a start to the day... South Africa trouncing England in the World Cup 36-0!!

The only thing better than that was Zimbabwe beating Australia in the Twenty20 World Cup a couple of days ago!

What book got you hooked?

First Book, an American literacy organisation, celebrated giving its 50 millionth book to children in need with a 'What book got you hooked?' campaign.

Create Readers, the National Library children's lit blog, is asking New Zealanders the same thing.

My memory's a bit hazy from that time, but the books I do remember hearing as a preschooler, and possibly reading a bit later on were:
  • Green eggs and ham by Dr Seuss
  • The lion in the meadow by Margaret Mahy
  • Are you my mother? by P.D. Eastman
  • and, horror of horrors, Richard Scarry!

What were yours?
