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.

Feathery Stitching

Whispers 9th June

Another page complete on Whispers that’s 24 pages complete now which is roughly 44% still a long way to go. I got a lot done thanks to lots of daytime stitching time and I was glad to have the daylight […]

Back to Whispers

June 3, 2013 Nikki

This page seemed to take a lot longer than it should have done.  I blame the stitching lull that comes after a finish – as well as the need to finish my socks. Finally though page 23 of Whispers is […]

Another Finish

May 28, 2013 Nikki
Eskarina Socks

It isn’t the first time but after finishing a sewing I’m finding it a little difficult to get back to one of my others.  I decided to get back to Whispers after my finish but I’ve been struggling to immerse […]

Finally after a few weeks of concentrating I have another finish to celebrate. Mini Lost In You from Heaven and Earth Designs started December 2011 and finished May 2013. I’m really pleased to have this one finished because I nearly […]

Mini Lost In You 7th May

I’m a little late with this update as I finished page 10 of Mini Lost In You last week.  I’m so late that I’ve very nearly finished page 11 as well.  So here’s the late picture. I’m onto partial pages […]

Nearly at the end

Mini Lost In You 29th April

I didn’t think it would take long to finish page 9 on Mini Lost In You but I didn’t expect it co be quite so quick.  Well that’s what lots of blocks of colour can do for you. I did […]

Eternal Promise Update

Eternal Promise 24_04_13

It’s been another of those busy weeks, lots of time out of the house and away from the sewing.  I’ve been filling the odd hour gaps with knitting as well especially when there’s too little time to get all of […]

I Spy A Dragon

Computer Catastrophes 13th April

Computer Catastrophes has been back on the frame for a page, it felt like a slow page I’m not entirely sure why probably the patches of confetti on those glass tubes and parts of the dragon. Yes I finally got […]

Easter Stitching

April 1, 2013 Nikki
Mini Lost In You 1st April

Yet another cold meant that the whole Easter weekend was spent indoors feeling sorry for myself and stitching.  I had wanted to get the page finished in March but it was only a day after that and I would have […]
