September WIPocalypse Report

Another WIPocalypse report, and I still have so much stitching left to do before the world ends! Perhaps I should stop buying stash ...

Anywho, I have made a small amount of progress on another UCJC project - Cirque des Carreaux by Ink Circles. The last time I worked on it I didn't really enjoy it that much, the 1 over 1 on hand-dyed fabric was giving me problems. But this time it's been delightful! Guess you just have to be in the right frame of mind for certain projects.


Halfway done page 1 now. I think I'm going to stick with this piece a little longer, see if I can get a page finish soon (maybe the end of Oct?). If I do, it'll be another finish in the UCJC challenge since this is a multi-page chart. Wouldn't that be nice?

I joined in HAED Appreciation Week a few weeks ago. Here is what I added to my growing stash:

Cushion Blue by Cari Buziak


High Tea by Gordon Fitchett


Peacock's Lagoon by Ciro Marchetti


I am DYING to start Peacock's Lagoon -- the colours are so rich and vibrant -- but I am being very good and resisting temptation (for now). I've also bought a few new charts from my local LNS which I'd like to start, and again I am trying to resist. I have a serious case of startitis ...

    I LOVE the colors on your Ink Circles project! I have never used variegated floss before but seeing yours peaks my interest. What brand/color are they and where did you find them

      I'm using a silk on the Ink Circles project -- Epiphany by Carrie's Creations. http://www.carriesthreads.com

      The same colours are also available in cotton.

    Great progress on your Ink Circles! The silk is a perfect match to your hand-dyed fabric. I would be tempted to start High Tea next. Those little birds are so colorful!

    Beautiful stitching. I love the fabric too, I agree with you sometimes you have to be in the right mind to work on some projects. Love your new stash, they will be fun to stitch I'm sure. xoxo
