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

Blog moving - ISHW - New start!

Hello everyone! Thanks for all your kind comments. You make my day every time I read you.

First of all, Bev of my wee stitching blog is moving, and she's having a great giveaway. She was there  and now she's here. Go and check on her new stunning blog! have fun!

This week end was the International Stitching Hermit Week end hosted by Joyszee, here. This time, hubby was around and it wasn't easy to be an hermit. He has a lot of friends, very kind. Some came visiting us, bringing delicious pastries. Some were visited by us (can I say that???) giving us delicious food. Well, so I spend more time chatting and eating than stitching. Sorry fellow hermits, but I had a good time, you see ; )

As for the new start business, I may already have told you that the HEAD BB organizes a SAL around a storykeeper. I chose to stitch Rapunzel, artwork by Jasmine Beckett-Griffith, because of the rococo mainly. So last week, I received the first page. And most of it is confettis, because of the rococo! I must do something about my taste.
I've started stitching on it. So there is the first update

I still miss one colour. I hope I will receive it soon to fill some of the blanks.

Then, I frogged the part in Blue bird that I stitched with a wrong colour. Between you and me, I haven't frogged every time the symbol appeared but only big areas of it. Frogging is not easy,  in 28 ct it is simply hell!

You have to look at the pink area on the top, that's new! I have no older photo to compare. Being my dreamy usual self, I thought of it only after frogging.

And last but not least, Topaz had some time for her too. I think my other projects are jealous of all the time I spend on her, but she's gorgeous and easy to stitch!

Her left arm can be seen, yeah!

Bonjour tout le monde. je devais ermiter ce week end. Eh ben, c etait pas gagne. Sid est un peu trop populaire, toujours entoure d amis. Pour l usuelle sauvageonne que je suis ce n est pas facile, mais la, c est venu en plein dans mes tentatives de devenir une ermite brodeuse! Pas de bol!
J ai quand meme reussi a point de croiter de ci de la. J ai commence un nouveau projet mais bon j y suis pour rien, j ai ete entraine par le mouvement general sur le forum HEAD. On ne peut rien contre les mouvements de foule, c est connu. J ai fait quelques corrections a Blue bird et surtout j ai ajoute un bras a topaze!
Ici pas de changement, toujours aussi chaud et humide avec l electricite qui vous lache pile au moment le plus chaud de la journee, youpi! sont-ils cruels! heureusement que j ai le balcon et la sublime vue de la mer pour me consoler.
je vous embrasse bien fort.

Happy stitching!
A bientot mes petits loups!
