FOUNDERS QUOTE'S

"[T]he people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them." --Zacharia Johnson, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788 "[W]hereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it." --Federal Farmer, Antifederalist Letter, No.18 "One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to George Washington, 1796 "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives m

Bill of Rights

Image
Dec. 15, is the 218th anniversary of the adoption of the Bill of Rights, the first 10 Amendments to our Constitution, as ratified in 1791. The Bill of Rights prohibits Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, forbids infringement of "...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms...", and prohibits the federal government from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. In federal criminal cases, it requires indictment by grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime", guarantees a speedy public trial with an impartial jury composed of members of the state or judicial district in which the crime occurred, and prohibits double jeopardy. We should all keep a copy of this near at hand and make sure we understand it, so that we can keep our law makers in check.

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government." --author and philosopher Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

I dont have children yet.....

But if I did I would totally buy these great labels and put them on everything. I have been a nanny for 10 years now, and am the oldest grandchild on my mom's side of 18 or 19 kids now. So I KNOW how kids things dissapear, especially once they start school! You just bought them brand new mittins, one week later one is missing and you've turned the house inside out looking for it, no where to be found! Well, I just disscovered a great website that can help with this problem, I hope they dont mind me raving about them and posting their info here, if so, I'll remove it, but until then, here's a few pictures and the web address so you can check them out yourself! http://www.kiddotags.com/

"No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass." --George Washington, letter to Benjamin Lincoln, 1788 "[R]eligion, or the duty which we owe to our creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and this is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other." --Virginia Bill of Rights, Article 16, 1776 "Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely i

So adorable! When I get a chance I want to buy this pattern! I think it would look great on me! Description Knitted in one piece, this fitted vest takes its shape from increases and decreases hidden within the arrangement of stitch patterns. The luxurious yarn, a plush combination of yak and merino, has a good deal of elasticity that lets the piece stretch comfortably where it needs to. The rich textures of this vest can easily handle large buttons. Choose horn or mother-of-pearl buttons for a rustic look.

Happy Thanks Giving To All

George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:" Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and prote

I love Cake!!!!

Image
I love cake, everyone loves cake, so much so that all most every birthday is celebrated with cake!!! WEll to celebrate a friend of mines birthday I knit her a little cake and wrote her a poem! I dont usually write poems, so I was very surprised when suddenly a poem poped into my head and I just had to write it down. So here is my new little poem and a few pictures of the litte Petite Four that inspired it! You can find the pattern for the Playtime Petit Fours by Jennifer Adams at http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/playtime-petit-fours or http://nuttyirishmanknits.typepad.com/knits/2008/02/playtime-petit.html

I love my new Shades!

Image
I love Glasses, over the years I have owned many, from purple John Lennnon Types that got stolen when I forgot them in the girls bathroom at some school I was visiting for some sport I participated in. To my all time favorites smaller rectangle rose color lenses, that fit the shape of my face perfectly! But I lost those to a Turkish toliet in Italy! Then I got into that movie star mode and bought two pairs of those freakishly huge glasses that make you look like a bug! Well I got rid of those over the weekend and bought myself a nice pair of red framed rectangle lenses that have pretty rhinestones on the sides! I love them so much I wanted to make sure they where protected so on my day off this past Monday I crochet them a pretty little pouch with a sparkly button to match the rhinestones!

My brother's Bunny

I was suppose to make the bunny small enough to fit in the Dragon Roo's pouch, I thought it would be small enough, but he's a bit big. He sure turned out cute though! Knit with knitpicks yarn. The pattern can be found at www.HeartStringsFiberArts.com
