Top 2000 Blog Party

I've had so much fun playing along with Marit's Top 2000 Blog Party this year

I was hoping to submit an entry for each of the seven days, but I ran out of time :(

Here's what I did get done - complete with links to each day of the party, so you can see what everyone else got up to too:

Day 1: December 25th #2000-#1840

#1953 : The Kinks - Dedicated Follower of Fashion

Day 2: December 26th #1839-#1518

Day 3: December 27th #1517-#1202

#1372 : Robbie Williams - Rock DJ (you might have seen this one on my blog before as I did it earlier in the year)

Day 4: December 28th #1201-#890

#995 : Ralph McTell - Streets of London

Day 5: December 29th #889-#574

Day 6: December 30th #573-#270

#330 : Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street 

(peeps from Collabor-ART will have seen this one already as I multi-tasked and used this for a circle journal entry over there)

Day 7: December 31st #269-#1

#123 : Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower (this one will only make sense to fellow Battlestar Galactica fans)

Next year I'm hoping to play every day!

Have you ever watched 'The Bridge'?

Nope, nor me ....

It's a Scandinavian crime drama, that has been enthusiastically recommended to me by a few people whose viewing tastes I trust, so I think I'll give it a go.

And it's also the subject of my entry in Pam's Desert Island Discs CJ - as the song I chose from her list is the programme's theme tune:

Hollow Talk by the Choir of Young Believers

The series starts with a female body being found, in two parts, at the centre of the bridge which joins Denmark to Sweden - half in Denmark's jurisdiction and half in Sweden's - and so that's the rather gory inspiration I took for my embroidered piece:

Not having seen the programme yet I have no idea if the actual body looked anything like this, am taking a bit of artistic licence :)

I do love working with material and embroidery for a change - which is just as well as the next journal coming my way in this circle is another fabric based one.....

Oh - and talking of making little pieces of art based upon / inspired by songs ...... can I interest any of you lot in taking part in Marit Barentsen's Top 2000 party this year?  It was so much fun last time around .....  go check out the list, there's at least one song there for everybody :)
