Raindrops on tree limbs and standard size poodles
Cat hairs in coffee with warm snickerdoodles
2AB bicones all lined up on strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Bright fuzzy mohair and crazy eyelash yarns
Crochet hooks, long books and old antique sale barns
Holiday songbooks, the favorites we sing
These are a few of my favorite things
When the wind blows, when the clouds scud, when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad
Phone calls from close friends and photos from others
Packets from OZ and emails from my brothers
Sister who calls me a delightful ding
These are a few of my favorite things
Hugs from my Pooh Bear and kisses from Tippy
Headbonks from Puffin and Love Rubs from Callie
Hellos from Al Bird who thinks he can sing
These are a few of my favorite things
When a pet dies, when my job goes, when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad
Long texts from Wabbit and phone calls from Puddy
Hikes to the ridges that get my boots muddy
Views from our front deck from Winter to Spring
These are a few of my favorite things.
Hot Jazz and Bluegrass and Indie and Old Rock
French Horn, Romantic Classical and Baroque
long music interludes by Dennis Brain
These are a few of my favorite things
When the tooth aches, when the knee hurts, when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad
SUGMAD MAHANTA the ECK and all the Whole
Travels in Inner Planes, knowing I'm Soul
Spiritual Exercises give me Wings
These are a few of my favorite things.......
When the flesh fails, and the mind goes, and I'm feeling lost
I simply remember those last fav'rite things, and then I feel home at last!
With creative nod to Julie Andrews....thanks for all your singing. I miss it.

More Holiday Cheer
We began this pattern at the November Bead Retreat, and while I had finished one leaf there for earrings, was stumped as to what to do about the necklace. The original pattern called for much more space between the leaves, and only 5-9 leaves total- not near enough bling or interest for me! AND the leaves were all one color...I wanted a holiday look that could be worn to the concerts at the new CHS Theatre and at WCU for the NC Symphony Concert December 11. I am happy with all but the clasp, and will be redoing that portion into a beaded circle and toggle, with drops of Swarovski 3 and 4mm bicones. Now to find the perfect outfit to match LOL!
A bit of Holiday Cheer
