Not just yesterday, today or tomorrow ... every day they are there to save you!

Today is 9-11 ... I will never forget that day just like a lot of you. I made this treasury with my husband in mind who goes out there every day each time that pager goes off and somebody is in need of help, help to save your life not just on a day like 9-11.

Here is the link to the Warrenton, Virginia fire department http://www.warrentonfire.org/news/index/layoutfile/home

This treasury is dedicated to all the volunteer and paid firefighters who take care of us each and every day, we thank you and we love you!

Nonteamchallenge 48 Treasury - How about that orange bug?

I love this week's inspiration item for the treasury challenge. I used to have a bug, not an orange one, mine was silver grey. I loved my bug. We sold it before moving to Australia, it was one of my favorite cars ever. So, for this treasury I put together a bunch of VW bugs and busses and my other favorite thing ... surfing and the beach. I'll be listing more treasuries later this weekend. Thanks for looking and feel free to share!

The kittens are back and more treasuries

So, the mother cat who moved her 4 kittens from my mom's house a couple of weeks ago decided it was time to bring them all back!!  This happened about a week ago and my mom just wasn't sure on how to deal with the entire kitten kaboodle.  They are strays although the mother has basically moved in with my mom who feeds her, gives her birth control and makes her wear a flea collar.  Since the kittens were gone for about 4 weeks they are not totally happy with having a human in their life except they figured out that if they don't flip out, have a hissyfit about this human they get fed yummy food!  Yeahhh, so far it's worked except for 1 of them is still not too excited about being touched, my mom calls that one the bully.   Anyway, she has taken pictures but I still haven't received them since my mom doesn't know how to get them from her camera, into the pc and send on over to me.  But that's ok, she does know how to print them so I'm anxiously awaiting to get some photos of these little rascals so I can share them with you all!  She will need to find homes for them or they will be going to the RSPCA.  My mom lives in Aarschot, Belgium so if any of you are near there and you want a kitten please contact me so we can figure out how to get it to you.

Now let's talk treasuries!

Can't wait for fall to get here!

I'm longing for cooler nights ... sleeping with the windows open, ahhhhh, I just can't wait!  Tired of having to listen to the humming of the air conditioner. It's amazing how much quieter it is without it running all night.  Anyway, to get myself in the fall mood I put together this bright orange and white treasury with some beautiful items for you ro check out.  Here it is ...

Nonteamchallenge 47 - Mary had a little lamb

This week we get to put together a treasury using some beautiful yarn from http://www.etsy.com/listing/70152206/bettie-superwash-merino-sock-yarn-island?ref=tre-665193372-8  as the inspiration item.  I had tons of ideas running through my head for this one and finally made the decision to make this treasury based upon Mary had a little lamb.  I think I can put together another 10 of these there are so many gorgeous yarns listed on Etsy as well as all the other items related to knitting and yarn.  But this will do for today.  Enjoy!

Knitted Green baby hat with itty bitty pumpkins

I was going to make another Christmas hat but then I thought adding green itty bitty pumpkins to this hat would look cute for Halloween and/or THanksgiving.  So here it is.  What do you think of it?  I just listed it in my BitsOfFiber shop so if you like to see more photos please visit my shop by clicking on this link.  http://www.etsy.com/listing/81015055/knitted-green-hat-with-baby-pumpkins
