I love musicals. There I said it!
I admit it wholeheartedly!
And this one is my all-time favorite!
The Sound of Music...
On November 16, 1959 the Sound of Music opened on Broadway. That was 50 years ago! (Luckily, I can say that I never saw it on Broadway. )But I did see it at the movie theater.
I love the story, the characters and the music.
I still fall back on the songs... like when I'm feeling sad...
you know it... and you know you want to sing it...
"these are a few of my favorite things"!
I think it was last year that Moda Lissa had a little contest to make up a song with Moda in it.
I took a stab at it, quickly, and entered... and won!
Just because it's the anniversary of the Sound of Music I'll go ahead and share it with you:
Raindrops on windows and winters with Moda,
Bright colored ric rack and warm cozy flannels,
Stacks of fat quarters all tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored backgrounds and crisp folded cottons
Doorbells, sleigh bells and packages from United (Notions)
Patterns to play with from Moda’s designers
These are a few of my favorite things
A sewing room filled with fabrics, jelly rolls & charms
Threads that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the stores close
When the needle breaks
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad!
Have a supercalafragalistic-expialadosish day!
Oh no, wait... that's a different musical!
21 friends stopped by to chat:
HA! Loved that one. I adored, and still do, Sound of Music growing up. Julie Andrews is one of my favorite actress.
I love your poem--you really did a great job on it--and I really think it is sooo true!!! Sound of Music has a special meaning for me too as a movie--I believe it began playing in theaters in 1966-67!!!

I too, dearly love The Sound of Music. I've always wanted to go on the Sound of Music Tour in Austria. Google it, it's amazing. It would be so cool to stand in the same places we've all seen in the movie. When I was about twelve, my Aunt worked for Maria Von Trapp in the Von Trapp Lodge in Vermont. We spent our summers there and one of my favorite memories is meeting Maria. (She didn't sing for us)
My name is Julie Ann... my best firend calls me Drews... you do the math LOL
FABULOUS!!!!!! Congratulations!
I too LOVE sound of music....
I must watch it at least 5 or 6 times a year... I never tire of it.... although i could probably recite the whole thing...
I too am...of that age... :)

e.
i love musicals and of course julie´s are the best.
Your song is definetly gonna make me smile when i be sad.
i saw the sound of music last week AGAIN.
You let me singing
This is too cute! I have an aunt I would spend Christmas vacation with and she would go around the house singing this song, so your little ditty brought back sweet memories. Congratulations on winning!
Good job... although, it's a good thing that the people who wrote Sound of Music... didn't have you write their words... let's just say they don't have quite the same feeling! You did totally hit the nail on the head for a good sewing song though!! LoL... congrats on winning... Aren't musicals great!
We raised our kids on them... now they have taught their spouses to enjoy them too... to the point that the 1st SIL was singing a song from 7 Brides from 7 Brothers while sking down a mountain slope with my DH... too funny!
Enjoy your day!
I love your song! I was in sixth grade something like that when my Mom and Dad took us to see the movie! And yes I do have it on DVD!!!
Love it too.. they could make real film and movies back then..:o)
That was great. I sang right along with your "lyrics". And, yes, I saw the movie.
Loved your poem!!! Then and now!!! Congrats! And yes, that's one of my favorite movies too!
This is so much fun to sing along! I can imagine you won. Thank you for sharing. It is definitely one of my favorite movies and musical.
that's is so adorable, love it and thanks for sharing. Moda's heart must have been all a flutter :)

That was awesome!!!!! No wonder you won!!!!
That's just GREAT!
The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins - what great memories and great music!
I LOVE musicals too. My favorite one is White Christmas with Mr. Bing Crosby. Who doesn't love his crooning voice?
The Sound of Music is my ABSOLUTE favourite movie of all time. The other two that round out my top 3 are also musicals - The Wizard of Oz and My Fair Lady.
I love your version of My Favourite Things. No wonder you won the contest! You might find me singing that around the house now...
That's one of my favorites too!
