I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

-- William Wordsworth

Springtime has always inspired poets and sewers too!

Here's the latest article from the Sewing site at BellaOnline.com.

Sew a Prom Wrap
Springtime is here in the northern hemisphere and with spring comes prom time. Rather than cover up the beautiful prom dress with a coat, consider sewing a wrap. The traditional wrap is merely a long rectangle of fabric, about 2 yards is all, to fringe or tassel or not and so easy to sew.
