Boom Boom Boom, Ruff

That’s a line from the song “He’s a Tramp” and below is a scene from the movie. Mom loved this movie growing up. It was at the time of the re-release in the 80’s that she realize how much it had shaped her opinion & taste; we had a cocker spaniel and she despised/despises Siamese cats.

In 1992, I purchased the cross stitch pattern for this. I had just moved to Indy and I figured I could work on it & give it to Mom for Christmas. Ha…yeah, Christmas TEN YEARS LATER. Seriously, it took me 10 years to finish it. I’d pick it up then put it in a drawer. it went on like that for literally a decade. Then, I realized I just wanted to get the darn thing done & out of site!

It now hangs on the wall in my parent’s bedroom. It looks good in there. Definitely better than in a state of unfinish crumpled in a drawer in my house. 021
