Random thoughts

I don't have any photos of my recent projects due to a lack of desire to spend time on the computer at home, and forgetting to take some pictures while there is still natural light. Instead, I offer today's random thoughts:

1. Yippee! I am getting a package with a lovely homemade bag sometime in the near future thanks to Ellen. Don't you wish you had added a comment to her blog now?

2. We've been reading a lot of children's books over and over again, not uncommon with a 2 year old in the house. But doing so has generated some questions in my mind that really can't be shared while reading the stories, but keep bugging me.
a) What is the deal with Madeline? Who are these 12 girls? Is it a boarding school, an orphanage, or what? One of the books (where Madeline has her appendix out) makes a reference to gifts from Papa, but he never appears again. I mean, she runs away to join the gypsies and no one but Miss Clavell seems concerned.
b) Who else thinks that Lily's parents are surprised to discover that Mr. Slinger is straight? When Lily tells them he is getting married, they react only with the comments "Really?" sev eral times.
c) Curious George has so many issues I don't know where to begin. But aside from all of the animal issues, let's just sum it up by saying - who puts someone in jail for calling the fire department by mistake?

I guess those are the only issues I can think of at the moment. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Back to craft projects soon.
