Good morning! I’m feeling so disgustingly perky this morning I’m almost offending myself :)
Almost…
I’ve been working on a Dobby Hat.
At some point over the last week, the Bloggers (Silent) Poetry Reading and my diet conspired in my unconscious to produce this. I take no credit and accept no blame; the little buggers are just using my fingers. However, I will offer profound apologies to Oscar Hammerstein :) If you know the tune to My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music, you might want to hum along :)
My Favorite Tastes
Sauces on pasta,
And crisp chow mein noodles.
Ice cream with butterscotch,
Oodles and oodles!
When I was young, it was library paste.
These are a few of my favorite tastes.
Bread rich with butter,
And all kinds of cheeses.
Pizza that makes me
Fall down on my kneeses.
Turkey and stuffing, in golden juice bastes.
These are a few of my favorite tastes.
Oreo cookies and pot roast with gravy.
Rich, hearty soup made with ham and beans, navy!
Pastry that adds inches
On to my waist,
These are a few of my favorite tastes!
When the world bites,
And I’m hungry,
Feeling less than cool -
I simply remember my favorite tastes
And then I just drown in drool!
Have a very musical Wednesday :)
No trackbacks yet.
a big round of applause for your muse- that was delightful and fun- of course i’ll be humming ‘my favorite things’ all day now, but at least it’s a cheerful tune-
dobby is neat- aren’t you being the productive one now?? i’m partial to greens anyway, and those colors are very easy on the eyes- umm, what did you use for the white stripe? that looks interesting-
stay happy-
Oscar and Hammerstein got nothing on you!
Pretty funny!
Barb - I think I love everything Rogers and Hammerstein (and Lerner and Loewe. and Cole Porter and Jerome Kern...) ever wrote and I frequently mourn the passing of the classic musical.
Christine - Aw shucks… :) Actually it was a lot of fun and bits have been flitting through what passes as my brain for a couple of days now.
Thank goodness no one was here to hear me sing that tune with your words. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Deb - LOL! It’s fun isn’t it? That music really swings along :)
I love your song! Good to know I’m not the only person that does that!
What a cute Dobby Hat! Ah, the gift of clothing!
You’ve been tagged!
LOL - excellent! Now where did I put my copy of The Sound of Music.......
Laurie - Maybe we ought to collaborate on a musical? Heheh - but who’s going to write the music?
Bron - I can’t say I’m pining for anything just yet. But I know me - just wait another few weeks! LOL!
The Sound of Music is one of my favourite films! Thanks for the smile this put on my face this morning
Hiya Nat :) Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the Dobby hat, but isn’t it too , um, mugglish? I think Hermione might have thought a little more elfish? Some short rows might work, but my first thought was patterns. My image was always one of the elves being given something that looks like a sock. Try some stranded knitting in random colours. Or, since you’re going to try with short rowa, a variegate might produce interesting results. Just my thoughts.
I too love the classic musicals and mourn their passing.

PS: we need a smiley with a wizard hat! 
Amaryllis - That’s worth thinking about as I’ve been musing on colorwork anyway :) But I don’t think it would look like a sock; the elves have very definite ideas about socks and would, I imagine, have very definite ideas about hats as well :)
Oh dear. Not about the hat, which you should make as eccentric as you please. No, it is the diet psychosis that concerns me. When I start singing, dreaming and fantasizing about chocolate, I have discovered there is only one remedy. One, small, real, piece of good chocolate. That way, the cravings don’t take over, I don’t feel deprived, and I don’t, after weeks of fending off chocolate cravings, dive headfirst into pounds of the stuff. Just my personal experience. Of course, you are the person who successfully lost 8 lbs. I haven’t been on a scale in months 
Rob - No worries, I’m not having cravings :) Just an odd turn of mind.
Eccentric - good word!
Loved the song. It’s the morning after WW weigh in and I am inspired to write the WW clean living version! Will let you know.
Susan - I’d love to see it!
