Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

It's not that I'm over the moon happy, it's that my replacement phone came with some free downloads. I decided that I would pick only happy music. Nothing touching or inspirational, no ballads nor slow sappy love songs, just plain old happy little ditties. Here's the list, so far:

1. As per my post of January 13th, Walking On Sunshine

2. Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole's Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World medley

3. This one is really schmaltzy happy, but I love musicals – Belle from Beauty and the Beast

4. James Taylor's "Everyday"

5. Hang on Little Tomato by Pink Martini

6. The Rainbow Connection, Judy Collins or Kermit the Frog have nice versions.

7. That teeny bopper hit by Taylor Swift, Romeo and Juliet song called Love Story. It was what I was nervously humming in the ICU when C still had the breathing tube. Got me through a lot, that prince and princess song. Funny what happens to your brain in crisis.

Don't these guys look happy? I imagine the one in front calling out to the other to join him at the bar:

And some happy yarn. I couldn't resist:

    I am almost embarrassed to admit it but I love the Taylor Swift song, too. I love your hummingbird photo. Mine are so territorial and they chase each other off the feeders rather than sharing.

    ‘Good to hear you’re happy! I love the yarn… ‘any idea what you’re going to use it for?

    I love your hummingbird-coloured yarn. A happy song that I love is Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. I also love Iz and am planning to buy a uke when we visit Hawaii next month so I can play that song.

    What a happy post! How do you get your hummingbirds to co-exist peacefully? We have one who guards the feeder and chases everyone else away. And I’m impressed you can spell Israel’s last name. I love that song – it indeed makes me happy.

    Did you take the photo of the hummingbirds? So nice, as are the robins. I love those colours.
