I was awake way too late stitching this last night, and some would say tonight (although I did have the tv on a silly movie or two…) and it is almost done:
And the bit I did on Lily the other night:

For my Cirque des Carreaux…I suppose on the plus side, it is still growing!!!
And the revamped fabric for “The Night” – this would be a colour scheme I would probably call Galaxy or something – inspired by photos from Hubble, and the deep space telescopes that show space is full of wonderous colours and lights. It is darker than the photograph and has definite greens and pinks scattered through it this time.
What not to do with dyes…

I decided that the fabric for PR’s “The Night” had dyed too pale so tonight I decided to fix it – and couldn’t get the lid off one of the dyes… when I did manage to the dye flew everywhere – my hands are dyed, it went into my hair and all over the floor… so I am now running low on one of my greens.
Anyway, as it is cold I am leaving it to cure overnight, and will add the fixative in the morning. If it doesn’t work out how I think it should I will just dye it all navy.
So I gave up on that and did another bit on Cirque des Carreaux:
And because I had said I have started it – the very beginnings of Chatelaine’s Egyptian Garden – on 32ct linen dyed by me
I need to take pictures

I have done another bit of Cirque des Carreaux and have started the centre square of Egyptian Garden.
I think I need to start a rotation.
Goals for June:
Finish Cirque des Carreaux
Finish current border on Misty morning
Water Goddess – head and hair, start the moon
Lily – Wings
That should be enough for this month I think…

I have realised that if I can finish something else by th 24th of June, then that would mean I have finished 7 things in 12 months…. which isn’t too bad…
I started Cirque des Carreaux on the 10th of June, 2009, and am up to the last 1/3. I am almost at the outer edge of the top left hand corner now:
I should try to get this one done in the next 3 weeks… it is doable, I am just such a flibbertygibbet when it comes to stitching one at a time….
I didn’t get so much done…

I managed to spill coffee on the edge of the fabric – not the stitching thank goodness, just the fabric, so it spent the day being washed and drying. It was rainy so it took quite a while to dry. I managed to get part of her fin done though…
While it was drying I did a little Cirque des Carreaux
And worked on dyeing a little more – trialed another combo for a friend- so here are the two
