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.

Dare to Dream Shawl

Dare to dream blocked up close

Another shawl finish to share with you today.  I wasn’t expecting to get it done so quickly as Thursday evenings are the only time that I reserve for knitting but I did grab an extra day last Friday before my […]

Confetti Pace

March 21, 2013 Nikki
Eternal Promise 20th March

This past week I’ve been working on Eternal Promise and stitching has been slow.  I’m not entirely sure that the slow pace was down to the amount of confetti in this one or whether it was a mixture of being […]

Computer Confetti

Computer Catastrophes 9th March

Back to Computer Catastrophes after a short break.  I was probably putting it off because of the big block of black that’s on this page but there was no need to worry because of the confetti that was on this […]

Knitting Update – A Finish

March 5, 2013 Nikki
Mariposa Shawl

I finished my first shawl!  It was a lot quicker than I expected but it didn’t really take me long to get back into remembering stitches.  The body of the shawl was really quick as I only worked on it […]

The Other Side Of the Bump

Mini Lost In You 27th February

I like counting my sewings in terms of pages done and pages left to do.  It isn’t precise because the last row of pages are usually partial pages but it’s quicker and more visual to see how much you have […]

Back to Stitching

February 19, 2013 Nikki
Snow Girl 18th Feb

One of those pages where it felt like it took way longer to stitch than it actually did, especially considering I’ve been spending some of my time with my knitting needles rather than my sewing needles.  Page 4 is finally […]

Socks Finished

February 11, 2013 Nikki
First pair of finished socks

No stitching update this week, there was so little stitching time that I don’t really have any progress on Snow Girl to show.  It’s down to a mix of things mostly time related and when I did sit down to […]

Black and White Update

February 3, 2013 Nikki
Mini Lost In You 3rd Feb

I usually think of end of row pages as partial but on Mini Lost In You they’re only a column short from being a full page.  Which explains why it took longer than expected to finish it.  That and all […]

Page Battle

January 27, 2013 Nikki
Computer Catastrophes 26th Jan

I don’t know why but sometimes a page just feels like it takes ages to finish.  It’s often the partial pages, probably too easy to set unrealistic expectations of how long something is going to take to finish.  Page 12 […]
