Cross Stitch Farm Animals

[badly_knitted]

I am so far behind with posting pics of my completed cross stitch projects, so I'll see if I can catch up a bit over the next few weeks. I can't even remember what I posted last. Anyway, these are the most recently completed set, four cute Margaret Sherry farm animals. Stitched on 18 count with one strand of thread.

oh dear to that. I remember trying stuff like that before CDs

that's cool about that find.

I might have to go back in for a second attempt. My 'clip' is catching so the reel isn't turning properly.

I was so psyched! I think they only had one album, but they were fun. One of the members co-wrote the song.

oops to that

oh that is cool then

[badly_knitted]

Yeah, I'll try again in a few days. I need smaller screwdrivers but I can't find mine.

Sadly, doesn't look like it was released on CD. There are more tracks on youtube though, so I'll give them a listen, see if there are any other fun gems on the album.

not too surprising if it was a one off. Good luck

[badly_knitted]

Thanks.

Stuck another tape in today and surprised myself with a live concert by a local singer my mum and I were huge fans of, and who we saw several times in live shows. I have photos of me with him somewhere. Lovely man, with a great, deep voice. He passed away the year after my mum. Brought back a lot of memories, and some tears.

what a bittersweet find

[badly_knitted]

Yeah, it was good. I have a bunch of signed LPs tucked a way. Stu always had time for his fans.

[cornerofmadness]

very cool

[badly_knitted]

I'll have to dig some pre-recorded cassettes out and listen to them, and I've found another concert on tape. More bittersweet memories.

You're finding all kinds of treasure (all I'm finding is dust that wants me to choke to death)

[badly_knitted]

Oh, I have a lot of dust too. I should clean, but disturbing the dust sets my allergies off so badly I don't want to.

Found my mum's 60th birthday announcement yesterday. Tim played a Bobby Bare track for her, Jennifer Johnson and Me. Haven't heard that one forever. A really sweet nostalgic song.
