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.

That sounds awful. =(

Yeah, Bobby Bare was big in the 70s, 80s. Might not be to your taste. I love the funny stuff like The Winner, and The Jogger, but he did more serious stuff too. Dollar Pool Fool is on my playlists these days, and Keeping Rosie Proud of Me. I'm finding more on the tapes all the time.

I've been deep into country music since I was a kid. I grew up listening to mum's Jim Reeves records, and it grew from there. Boy, did I get picked on in school over my taste in music. But it's always been where my heart is. I liked some pop and rock, but I guess country just clicked with something in my head.

thanks I'll do looking for that on YT when i get a chance

yeah my parents were not into country so I didn't grow up on it. And lately in America it's become a bastian of ideas I do not care for (mostly racist and anti LGBT)

Yeah, the newer country I'm mostly avoiding. Well, obviously not Ty Herndon, he's the opposite, openly gay, and a great singer. And I haven't noticed anything racist or anti-LGBT in Midland's songs. Willie Nelson is of course always positivity, and has some truly great songs. Not a racist or anti- bone in his body. Just got to know who to listen to, I guess.

Maybe I should start linking to some of my favourites on my journal. Some of the tracks off Ty Herndon's CD House on Fire. I listen to that one all the time.

I think being American MAGA puts it in our faces how many country singers are on their side. Jason ALdean is one of them. I liked his music until he started using his babies in the anti-vax movement. I liked Toby Keith until he used his place to smash down The Dixie Chicks and other female performers. Sigh.

But yeah as with anything it's all in who you chose to listen to. I DO love Ty's music.

Music shares are always welcome. I do mine on Mondays if you want to drop in

Yeah, the whole MAGA movement is so bad. I liked Jason Aldean early on, still like a couple of his songs. I didn't know that about Toby, I always liked his music, but I love the Chicks and a lot of other female artists (got Emmylou Harris on right now). Some of my favourites are women. (Quick Bobby Bare rec: Beer Drinking Christians, a duet with Lacy J Dalton. I love the lyrics. It was from a movie soundtrack).

House on Fire is one of the best albums ever.

I've seen yours, and I've been trying to gather some tracks to do my own, but there are SO MANY, and listening to the cassettes, the number keeps going up. I like a lot of ballads, but also a lot of rockier stuff, and Bluegrass. Been in Bluegrass instrumental heaven recently. So many talented musicians.
