The mind can be a strange thing in some cases. Mine is strange in most cases : ) A while back I was stitching a design by Stacy Nash & for some reason Bobby Pickett's hit song Monster Mash started rolling around in my head. I couldn't help but notice the syllabic similarity between the title of the song & the name of the designer & of course I had to expound on it. For those of you who might not be familiar with Monster Mash, you can give it a listen by clicking on the link below & then sing along with my substitute lyrics if you'd like. Happy October everyone!
Stacy Nash (Monster Mash)
I was looking for a chart late one night
When my eyes beheld a thrilling sight.
I had many charts to choose
from! So many I'd bought!
But one of them was surely the best of the lot!
(She found a Nash!)
I found a Stacy Nash!
(A Stacy Nash!)
Yes, right there in my stash!
(She found a Nash!)
It would stitch in a flash!
(She found a Nash!)
I found a Stacy Nash!
With an alphabet & a critter or two
And a primitive date (1892)
I knew I couldn't go wrong! It
would be quite a prize!
A real treat for anyone's eyes!
(She found a Nash!)
I found a Stacy Nash!
(A Stacy Nash!)
Yes, right there in my stash!
(She found a Nash!)
It would stitch in a flash!
(She found a Nash!)
I found a Stacy Nash!
The letters were fun to do.
I loved Stacy's choice of blue!
The joy was overwhelming!
Maybe I'd stitch a few!
Things got a bit rocky & I felt some despair
When I looked at the chart & saw a french knot there
But my stitching friends told me not to wish I was dead.
They said I could replace it with a cross stitch instead!
(She found a Nash!)
I found a Stacy Nash!
(A Stacy Nash!)
Yes, right there in my stash!
(She found a Nash!)
It would stitch in a flash!
(She found a Nash!)
I found a Stacy Nash!
Out from the bedroom dear hubs appeared
And over my shoulder he came & peered.
"I can't believe you're stitching so late," he said!
Then he muttered these words as he went back to bed.
(Another Nash!)
Another Stacy Nash!
(A Stacy Nash!)
My wife thinks they're a smash!
(Another Nash!)
Stacy gets all my cash!
(Another Nash!)
Another Stacy Nash!
Everything was cool as the last stitch I took
And I smiled a big smile as I gave it a look.
I was proud of the finish! It
was a sight to behold!
Then I got up from my chair
& to my craft room I strolled
(To get a Nash!)
To get a Stacy Nash!
(Another Nash!)
Yes, right there in my stash!
(Another Nash!)
It is always a blast
(To stitch a Nash!)
To stitch a Stacy Nash!

I laughed and smiled through this whole post, Shirlee--what fun!!
too funny! love it! :)
ROFL you are officially this week's funniest blogger!
Scrap that, and make it this month's!
Pure genius song lyrics. I wonder if Stacey liked it as much as the open letter about her knots?
Heavens help me! I never know what I am going to get when I click on your blog! May it never change. You, my friend are tooooo funny! Oh yes, I do remember the Monster Mash.
ROFLOL!!! Shirlee, you are so clever. Thanks for the laugh. I added that song to my Grooveshark playlist. That is, the monster mash version. ;)
You my friend are a real gem, just when I thought I had heard everything you rewrite the Monster Mash song. I just wish I could hear you sing it and see which Stacy Nash chart you stitched. You made my Monday.
That was just brilliant.Made my day. :)
