Da Doo Ron Ron (I say Da Doo Run Run)
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Yes, my heart stood still
Yes, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
He looked so quiet, but my oh my
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Yes, he caught my eye
Yes, my oh my
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Picked me up at seven and he looked so fine
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Someday soon, I'm gonna make him mine
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Yes, he looked so fine
Yes, I'll make him mine
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron ron da doo ron ron

How pretty! You did a great job and used such pretty fabric...light and pretty for Spring! I think I'll sing that song to my hubby now! Thanks! heehee! ♥
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...I wonder if Da Do Run Run is the prerunner to the song - I think We're Alone Now???
ReplyDeleteHello sweet lady,
ReplyDeleteYour runner is beautiful! I adore toile, I was just over at Carolyn's at Aikens House and Gardens and was admiring her toile.
Thanks for the tutorial, it is always nice to see how others sew things up.
Hugs, Cindy
Very pretty and what a nice tutorial on how to make one! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSherry
It is beautiful, Shelia! I da-doo remember that song too. I couldn't come up with anything for your cupboard party. But I'm thinking of taking the doors off some of my kitchen cabinets (if the husband doesn't have a fit) and maybe I can pretty them up for the next one. I da-doo love the way you write! You are a special blogger.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Oh Shelia I just LOVE that runner!! Heck I love your ironing board cover!! Martina
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! The ruffles make a good place for your darling gdau to hide her jelly beans. Oh wait, yes, she will!
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't join your party. I took pics, but I just couldn't post my plain old pantry, too boring. I visited a lot of the party girls though!
The ruffles make it!
ReplyDeleteNow say "ruffle runner" ten times, really fast! LOL!
xoxo
Andie
I love it, Shelia! It's so neat!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Sheila, that is so pretty. Love the ruffles. You even have a toile ironing board cover? Of course you do!
ReplyDeleteLove it Shelia! It turned out really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm very partial to toile.
The song brought back memories.
Hi Shelia, I am in Atlanta doing an antique show with my sisters. I left on Weds. Thanks for fixing the links. I am still trying to visit the kitchens but this is the first time I have been on my computer to visit since Tuesday night, except for a few minutes to let my blogging friends know that I am in Atlanta and busy. The first day of the show was yesterday and it was slow. We went to bed early last night and now I am up EARLY visiting you. smile.I will be back home on Sun. night.
ReplyDeleteYour runner is lovely. I do love the fabric. I always want to do more sewing but never seem to get it going. Good job.
Your kitchen party was awesome.
Love, Jeanne
Lovin' that pretty springy fabric Sheila! The ruffles are fun too-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteI SO remember that song and the Crystals!! I'm not positive, but I THINK they also did He's So Fine, which was my favorite...
ReplyDeleteSweet table runner Shelia! And, I used to love that song back in the day when I was but a babe, I mean teenager. I loved singing harmony with the Crystals on the radio. We'd pick up WABC and WRKO up here to get all the latest hits :-) Great memories. Have a super day. Pamela
ReplyDeleteI am more familiar with the Shaun Cassidy version but man would I like to meet this runner on a Monday. My heart has indeed stood still. :)
ReplyDeleteYour runner is so pretty, Shelia! I love toile and paired with the ruffles it turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThat is one gorgeous runner Sheila! I love the fabric and I love the ruffles!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend my friend,
Cindy
Hi Shelia, have been visiting you for a while and have just become a follower. I love your cupboard party, actually if we were neighbors I would rent that empty shelf! xo,
ReplyDeleteDang..did that ever turn out cute!!! Anything to do with a needle and thread scares me. (I DO NOT sew)
ReplyDeleteand I love the old songs....I have that song in my IPod
Hi Shelia! I absolutely adore this runner! Anything with toile is right up my alley and this is gorgeous. Thank you so much for linking it up to Inspiration Friday this week! :-)
ReplyDeleteVanessa

Oh Shelia, my current post is how I have no talent for sewing or using any type of needle..I envy you lovley talented ladies who can take a slice of fabric and make it a work of art..this is beautiful. I love any thing lacy and ruffled..
ReplyDeleteAwesome..
Hi there~ well goodness your da doo run runner is just darling! I love the toile and your sweet ruffle touches- it looks so charming on your table! Thanks for sharing this at FNF! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fortuitous that I stopped by Note Songs just in time for your delightful rendition of a song about a boy named Bill! Impeccable timing is truly a gift. Like dainty fingers and gorgeous peepers! Just sayin' ;)
ReplyDeleteYour da doo run runner IS darling, sweet Shelia! Only you (I think) would have a toile ironing board cover. Now that's ClASS with a capital C, ain't it?
Sweetest regards,
Bill
Toile is the prettest fabric that has ever been printed..... to me at least...I love it and I love your runner. I do have to say this is the first time I've seen it in this color.
ReplyDeleteNice table setting...cute rabbits and flowers.
Trish
Hello Sheila! I love your Da Doo Run Runner! This is what I call art with from music from the heart. :) Your pin cushion is cute too. In my country, the tomato is the common design used for a pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Sheila!
Oh that turned out so nice, I love the ruffles! What a good tutorial too :)
ReplyDelete~Tricia
Oh that fabric is precious! And then you made it into ruffles, you outdid yourself! I'm in love lol. I would be delighted if you would link this to my VIP party this weekend =) http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/vip-party-10.html
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy, crazy for toile, & I love that creamy colorization. I really like the toile on your ironing board, too.

ReplyDeleteHi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteThis table runner is lovely! I think I need to make this for my Easter table too!
I also went back to peek into everyone's cupboards and what fun that was, I hope you do the party again. I got so busy this past week (my first week back at work after being off 3 months) that I didn't even think about it until it was too late but would love to do it if you host again!
Terry
