Left Out

I spent today whispering to my daughter all the reasons why she had been left out of a party with our nearest neighbour's son, which others in her class (girls included) had mostly been invited and she had not.

I don't get excluding children from parties. Seriously,  I don't. I think it is rude. And cruel. To be within in view of your class mates, but not asked. Oh well, she rode her horse with Daddy and her brother instead.

When my son had a party last year with two of his mates, I made sure that all the members of his class were invited whether my son liked it or not. I also made sure that the new boy who had just moved in was invited with his parents and younger brother so that they would get to meet more people in the community.

I just figure that our nearest neighbour was having a Wiggles party and didn't want her to know that he was still a Wiggles fan at the grand old age of 12.

Canberra Region Feltmakers

If you live near Canberra and are at a loose end this weekend, the the CSIRO Discovery Centre at Black Mountain is hosting "Metamorphosis, Rapt in Felt" - Annual Exhibition and Bazaar by the Canberra Region Feltmakers.

One of my good friends, Terry Nash, is one of the exhibiting artists.(If you check the brochure out I think she made the mat on the bottom right.)

Unfortunately, I don't think that I am going to get to go, between taking the kids to soccer in Goulburn and having to do a shift at Creative Gunning on Sunday ... but if I could, I would!! Terry also has some rather magnificent stuff at Creative Gunning and is involved with the Wine, Wool & Jazz night that the Gunning Show Society runs in conjunction with the Gunning Show in February of each year.

The fashion parades start at 12.30 pm on Saturday and Sunday and I have enclosed a link if you wish to find out more!
