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.

Nearly Halfway

Whispers 1st September

It’s been a busy couple of weeks so free time for sewing has been limited.  I’ve been working on Whispers and finished page 27 and there are no more floating body parts.  She’s looking gorgeous and I had a lot […]

Big Catastrophes Update

Computer Catastrophes 19th August

I’ve been getting behind a bit with sorting my pictures out and getting updates done.  I was going to blog a picture of page 17 of Computer Catastrophes at the weekend but got distracted stitching page 18.  So now I’m […]

Stole Finished

August 12, 2013 Nikki
Ringwraith Stole

New Knitting Gadgets

July 24, 2013 Nikki

A good gadget should make your life easier.  Over the years I’ve had plenty of gadgets that I’ve used once or twice and then set them aside because they didn”t make things easier. When I first got back into knitting […]

Summer is here

July 20, 2013 Nikki
Whispers Page 25

So summer has finally decided to make an appearance and is trying to make up for lost time.  As usual it’s my sewing that has suffered from my feeling too hot and stuffy to get much done.  But even though […]

Falling behind a bit

July 8, 2013 Nikki

I finished page 16 of Computer Catastrophes earlier in the week but since then everything went busy and I never got around to blogging it. Here it is though, the big page of blue.  I’ve been dreading this page for […]

Mystery Knitting Finished

June 30, 2013 Nikki
Germinate Shawl Blocked

On June 1st I started knitting along on a mystery knitting project by Through The Loops.  Each Saturday a new clue was sent out and you’d spend the week knitting it.  In my case I spent the weekend knitting it […]

Looking Confused

June 24, 2013 Nikki
Computer Catastrophes 23rd June

And so he should be, he should be wondering why it took so long to get this page done.  Seeing the dragon come to life is my favourite part of stitching the Spangler designs.  The charting keeps so much of […]
