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.

Yeah, some CDs are like that, but I seem to enjoy them more the more I listen to them, even some I wasn't all that taken with at first.

Beausoleil are brilliant! I even have a couple of CDs by a British Cajun band, which is a weird concept, but... Lucky you to have autographed copies! Things like that definitely have to stay. I have some autographed LPs. I think I have an autographed Randy Travis, won in a radio competition. I think it's Randy anyway. I have a LOT of LPs still.

I do re-read occasionally (re-reading the original Dorsai trilogy atm), but not often.

that is true and some you think you'll love you're like yeah...no

that's cool about the British cajun band (yes something I wouldn't expect)


I reread when I was young (I reread my manga) but I swear I now own more books than I have years left to read the all

R. Cajun and the Zydeco Brothers, I've got three CDs of theirs. Five of Beausoleil, and some various artist CDs, probably about 25 Cajun and Zydeco CDs.

I re-read manga (especially FAKE), not novels so often because like you, I have more books than I'll ever get through, but someone said something recently about Soldier Ask Not, and I wanted to re-read it, got it out, and it's the second volume of the original trilogy, so... They're only short volumes, if I could just stay awake long enough at night to get through a few pages...

That might be more Cajun than even I own. ha.

Oh I hear you about that. I usually read at n ight but since I'm working around my parents so every night everything is pushed back and I nod off before I can read

I blame cheap CDs in ebay 10, 15 years ago. I bought everything that interested me. Now everything's so expensive, even old, used CDs, I almost never buy one.

I can't sleep if I don't read, but all too often I start reading and fall asleep too fast =/

ha yeah or going back further, not sure if yinz had this or if it was American only Columbia House records. You got like 12 cds for the initial dollar and then they were so cheap I was buying things based strictly on title and description. Who are they? I dunno but it's like 2.99

One way to check out a lot of music by different artists, maybe find some new favourites.

Made a quick count of my Cajun and Zydeco collection - 33 CDs Heee!

it was and honestly that's what I love youtube for now for free and then buy what I love (ditto bandcamp and spotify)

wow that is a lot.

Yes, I have youtube playing a mix at the moment. The ads are annoying, but I'm not paying to listen to music.

It is. I know one is a bit crap, kind of Cajun lite, for people who don't know or don't like Cajun, but the rest are good.
