The Suddenly Kate Show

Hello!

Its a Saturday and here I am about to announce Februarys Top 10 schedule!!

Feel free to join in :) and as a special extra I have a progress picture of my Frosted Pumpkin Passport Pals.


I have only the flag pole and the clock hands left (other than the borders and the wording...hehe...but I wanted to get the image done in time for the February part on Monday. Other than changing the skin colour and tweaking the flag to be more jack like, I do intend to add some of my own backstitches. Hopefully they won't be detrimental but we shall see!
Aaaaaanyway.....February's Top 10 Tuesday themes are.....
2nd:  Top 10 Phone Apps 9th:   Top 10 things you would do if you won the lottery (£75 million) 16th: Top 10 Movie Heroes 25th:  Top 10 YouTube Channels that you find yourself watching

Some five years ago I think, about six months after the birth of my blog, I participated in my first A to Z and it was a careers based list. Very short blog posts in a humorous manner about careers I had contemplated (some seriously and some fancifully) and oddly since that time I have dabbled in almost all of those – Maybe this years A to Z will be an update? Anyway, todays Top 10 is about careers I would love or hate or even love to hate, hate to love? I’m not sure. Interpret it anyway you see fit and please take part!

Keebles and Tiffstitches deserve your attention on their lists so be sure to go and check them out straight after you leave here…unless you came from there, in which case…welcome…but anyhoo!

1. Music Journalist

This is my current aspiration. Why? Because I realised I do love to write and I love music so why not combine those two and do something I love. I am not even concerned about making money doing it because I love it so but that would definitely be a bonus! I …

Hello!

Well.. thanks to all those who commented on my SAL suggestion blog...I can announce that I subscribed to the 'abc' and the Frosted Pumpkin 'Passport Pals' and the hardanger stitch along.

I am also pleased to say that I have started the abc and passport pals...I wanted to start the hardanger but I need to order the fabric so that is on the to-do list.

I started the 'abc' first whilst I waited for the first part of passport pals to be published, and I don't know what i was thinking!

I chose the fabric based on it looking the right colour (I have no idea of count or where I purchased it from) and began to stitch...2 over 1...thats right...2 over 1...I don't know what I was thinking...it is actually quite nice but very small and I am debating redoing this 2 over 2...I might as well as its not quite finished...but here is how far I have gotten.



Then whilst I waited for passport pals...I opened the christmas kit taht I was given, its a design based on …

Top 10 Misheard song lyrics was suggested by Tiff and Keebs and I expect that their posts today will be much better than mine.



I don't know of many songs so my list is made up of a combination and one of which is my misheard lyric.



So let us begin....numbers 1-4 were taken from a website that is dedicated to misheard lyrics called KissThisGuy.com.

1. Sir Mix-a-lot: Baby Got Back
"I like big butts in a can of limes"

2. Robert Palmer: Addicted to Love
"Might as well face it your'e a dick with a glove"

3. Abba: Dancing Queen
"See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen"

4. One Republic: Apologize
"Its too late to order fries"

Next up is my misheard lyrics...

5. Foster the People: Pumped Up Kicks
"All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun. All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet."

this is what I heard...

&qu…

Ok, so...I have projects that I have started...and I was even given a kit (L.S.Lowry design) for Christmas...but...you know what's coming next right? None of them are grabbing me right now.  I do have to start knitting something for my cousins baby boy (due in March) but I want to stitch too.

I did join in with the Christmas Ornament SAL for three months until I had no time in which to stitch...I currently have a snowman with a head and no body!

I did find that it was a good project to have to stitch on and it motivated me and so I would love to take part in one during 2016. I am about to go off in search of one...currently I've only seen the frosted pumpkin passport SAL so far (which is nice) but wondered if any of you knew of any that were open to anyone (some of these groups can get quite cliquey) or if you were keen on starting one that I could join?

Lemme know! I'm all ears...I would also like to take it along to stitch this weekend at the second meeting of the group …

Hi There!

I was thinking, as I am prone to do, about what things make me happy....as in really happy...as in hip hop hip to the hop happy...and the same two things were at the top of the list...writing and music!

I started blogging due to crafting and I had a blog called Momuboocrea Island...when I started writing music reviews (way back in 2012) I started this one...and they ended up morphing together. So in no short way, what I am trying to say is that writing music reviews is what started me writing fiction...and a band I reviewed in 2012, both their single and a gig, are now releasing their album. It doesn't seem possible that it was three and a half years ago, and I imagine for them it has been three long years of hard graft, but it was...and it is at the end of the month that they are playing in London.

I shall be going! I shall be taking my niece to her first ever gig (they are family friendly)! and I shall be blogging about the album and the gig.

I still have my music page…

Today's topic is a dramatic start to the new year! I thought of it as I pondered what I would save, most of you may remember my house fire and subsequent burglary of 2014, and having lost things that I was emotionally connected to I wondered if anything had changed. 
I haven't really bought anything that I wouldn't be ok losing. I think it's quite common for people having experienced loss not to want to hold onto anything for fear of losing it again. 
I sat at home last ninth and looked around at items that I might grab...
1. Mobile phone I would grab this and the charger because it's my main form of contact and communication. 
This is the only thing non-living that I would have to grab. Everything else is replaceable. All heirlooms were lost in the fire so there isn't anything like that to grab. 
I guess number two could be...
2. Stitchy stash  My stash is one craft bag, a plastic file and then 8 boxes of threads. How many items does that cover?  I might grab the file …

The Top 10 things that I am looking forward to in 2016

1. Posting my Top 10 Tuesday lists on time every week without fail! 
I hold my hands up and confess that my midlife crisis has sort of pulled the rug from under my feet this latter part of the year. I love Top 10 Tuesdays and I am looking forward to carrying on with it in 2016 and I hope Keebs and Tiff are still gonna join me...and Bea too?

2. Create with Mates Meetup group
I started a meetup group....just let that settle in your minds for a bit...and on the 1st January a small group of introverted people with solitary hobbies met in the upstairs function room of a local bar. I was happy, it was a success I think, and I am looking forward to the next one....so watch this space!

3. Write daily
I recently went on a date and was talking about a story I am half way through and the guy said...you should definitely finish it as its obviously something you feel passionately about, I can tell by how animated you are. He wasn't wrong...t…
