Tonight I was sitting in the living room listening to XM Sirius and flipping channels. There was a Spa channel that was great until this one song with a completely repeatious tune made me want to shoot something... Then I flipped some and found the Seriously Sinatra channel. Never have really listened much in detail, but it is something I like on occasion. It makes me think of stories I have heard and reminds me of my favorite restaurant that always plays this type of music.From Creative madness that makes me myself
Sitting on the couch, I am working on hand quilting my quilt work in progress and a relaxing. A song comes on, and the lyrics were just so fabulous that I had to come and find them and share them with you...
Peggy Lee - I Am Woman
I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the line
I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins can
Throw it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then
Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
I can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come!
I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!
I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.
Now, I know it is classic. I know I have heard it before, but it was just so fun to hear... Love it.
So now the quilt is completely quilted (the picture is before), except the borders... Need to decide what I am going to do there. Any suggestions?

Wow, GORGEOUS quilt! Now why didn't I have nesting urge like that? *sigh* The most I did was crochet a small blanket for my daughter. :-) But it was something, right? lol
Great tune! I love your quilt. I wish I had suggestions, but I am so NOT talented in that area.

The colors of your quilt make me want to eat some fruit. :) Beautifully done. And the songs a hoot.
Thanks all! I love it when some Creative Madness can be inspiring. *grin*
