Flu and some golden progress

Hello everyone! I'm sorry I couldn't read your lovely blogging lately (I'm doing some catch up). I had the flu. So I had to stay in my room with the AC on (couldn't stay out because of the hot weather). And our internet connection is not wireless. Funny thing about this flu. It seems a virus flu was spread among a lot of people here in Sri lanka. when I say people, I mean children. So hubby couldn't stop laughing at me because I got it too, and I'm 33!

Nevertheless, some progress have been made (the good thing about being forced to stay in bed).
 First, I'm trying to finish all the gold metallics on Brilliant butterfly (no pic yet, I will post when it's finished).

Then, I have a confession. I'm completely hooked on Golden kite charts. Actually, I have made a start some month before. But this is going to be huge and the progress is slow. So there is my lifelong project : Indian chess game
And my progress so far (bottom right part of the chart):
Stitched on 22ct oslo with a lot of colours (blended and not).

And finally, I've stitched like a crazy girl on SK Rapunzel. My best friend is coming to visit me soon, and as I know that when she will be here there won't much stitching done. So,
Yeah, it's a page finish! Next page will be out on august. (sorry the pic is bizarrely oriented)

Hello tout le monde! J ai attrape une sorte de gros rhume ici, qui circulait parmi ... les enfants! Mais j ai quand meme bien avance! j ai fini la premiere page de Rapunzel, youpi! Et puis je vous laisse un apercu de mon projet a vie, le jeu d echec indien! Recemment j ai vu un film assez ztupide ma foi mais avec des vues splendides de Paris! Oh Paris! je vous embrasse fort!

Happy stitching!
A bientot mes petits loups
