Yay Wellington
Sounds like the Cuba Carnival was fun. Especially with quotes like this in the paper:
Dance troupe Real Hot Bitches believes it broke a world record for the largest number of people to participate in synchronised dancing, with 1852 jiving in Courtenay Place to Bon Jovi’s Shot Through the Heart. The Guinness world record is 876.
Nice!
Presenting…
May I introduce to you all my lovely new daughter, Tara.
She’s seriously clever and beautiful and adorable and magical and all those other words that parents use (but I mean extra ’cause of course, Tara is that extra wee bit special than all the other babies!)
Tara was born on the 7th of February 2007, weighing 8lb 11oz or 4kg. And she rocks!
Soppy baby stuff
I decided that since the baby is half Australian and has TONS of Aotearoa type clothes toys etc that I should make an effort to balance things up a bit. So I stitched a couple of blank baby items with Gumnut Baby patterns that I got out of a book of Classic Storybook patterns.
I know, it’s not exactly radical, but incredibly cute. You can see more here.
Xstitch gorgeousness
OK those of you who need some little and cute patterns to get you inspired/started.
Check out this whole page of Hello Kitty xstitch patterns! They’re nice and easy ones to do as well.
Have fun!
Shock and Awe!
I did the ol What Kind of Anarchist Are You? quiz (hattip: stanselen) and surprise surprise, I’m an anarcha-feminist:
You scored as Anarcha-Feminist.
Anarcha-feminists put a strong emphasis on the importance of patriarchy, arguing that all forms of hierarchy can be traced back to man’s domination over woman. Although associated with the 1960s, the movement has its roots in the theories of Emma Goldman and Voltarine DeCleyre.
