About Nikki

A crafter of many years, now using this blog to share my ongoing projects and tips for others to enjoy. I mainly concentrate now on Heaven and Earth cross stitch designs - with several projects on the go at any one time. Also often found knitting shawls and socks, papercrafting. Easily distracted by new cross stitch patterns. Slave to a tyrannical black n white cat called Yuen.

Persistent Patience

July 14, 2014 Nikki

Again a little late with the update, I just get side-tracked by the stitching. Qs Arthur, dear Qs Arthur, oh how he manages to test my patience.  But I don’t think it’s really his fault, it’s all mine.  You see […]

A Little Late Update

July 1, 2014 Nikki
Alice Loge 21st June

Oops got everything ready but forgot to add a post. Page 2 of Alice Loge completed on 21st June but then I got distracted and never got around to posting it here.  You can see more of the book now, […]

Long Running Page

QS Arthur 14th June

QS Arthur has been on the back burner recently.  He gets picked up and a few stitches added now and again but no concentrated effort for a while. It’s all because I’m stitching him using half cross stitches so I’m […]

Eternal Promise 8th June

Eternal Promise Row End

May 18, 2014 Nikki
Eternal Promise 9th May

It’s been a little while since I did any stitching on Eternal Promise and I really do like working on this one.  To start with I put it onto a different stand so that I didn’t need to take Whispers […]

Framed Finishes

Computer Catastrophes Framed

No stitching update just yet but I thought I’d share the results of my latest framing trip. First is Couch Dragon Finished him a little while ago but I wanted to get a couple ready for framing before I took […]

Easter Stitching

April 26, 2014 Nikki

Doesn’t seem that long since Christmas but here we are at Easter and my birthday.  That meant a nice break from work and a little more time for stitching and other hobbies.  I’ve managed to complete page 30 on Whispers […]

Who Needs Plans

April 13, 2014 Nikki

I really shouldn’t make plans I always end up breaking them. I did start with QS Arthur but it didn’t end well.  I’m working Arthur in half cross stitch using two strands but I found it so frustrating not to […]
