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.

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)

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.

I usually end up with bronchitis thanks to my dust allergies (even if I wear my mask)

Ah, that sounds nice

I just get so clogged up I can't breathe, despite daily antihistamines and a steroid nasal spray. Still better than bronchitis, I would imagine.

I love Bare's funny songs (many written by Shel Silverstein, I think), but he used to do some really great heart-tuggers too. Sad to think most of the artists I grew up listening to have passed away, even Guy Clark and Jerry Jeff. I don't know all that many of the most recent country singers and bands, I'm out of step since all the country radio shows seem to have vanished. I AM watching Opry Live on Friday nights though. Only one hour, but Midland are on this week, and they're a favourite right now, so I have that to look forward to.
