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.

Catching up with Whispers

Whispers 20th Jan

It’s been a few months since I’ve done any stitching on Whispers.  I had a run of pages last year and then got distracted by Couch Dragon so it was nice to get her back on the frame and get […]

Computer Catastrophes 11th Jan

Page 11 of Computer Catastrophes is finished and that glass is finished too.  It’s been one of those pages that feels like it’s taken ages even though it was only 11 days.  My favourite bit on this page has to […]

Hello 2013

Mini Lost In You 31st December

Another year goes by and quite appropriately ends with a page finish roughly before midnight.  Page 5 and the faces of Mini Lost In You are finished.  It was a good moment when the girl’s face was stitched and the […]

Christmas Stitching

Eternal Promise 25th December

Confetti or not I breezed through page 2 of Eternal Promise and got it finished on Christmas Day.  I think it would have been done Christmas Eve if it had been a normal day but there’s too much to distract […]

Glass of Confetti

Computer Catastrophes 19th December

Computer Catastrophes is such a mix of stitching.  Some of the pages have been large blocks of colour, which are simple to follow and do stitch quickly even if they feel like they take ages. Page 10 has been the […]

Third and Final Goal Complete

December 8, 2012 Nikki
Computer Catastrophes 8th December

I’ve done it, I’ve finished my final goal for 2012.  Computer Catastrophes page 9 is complete. The cat’s face is finally complete and I’m glad that I’ve finished with the little table mat that the book sits on, that was […]

Second Yearly Goal Completed

December 1, 2012 Nikki
Mini Lost In You 30th November

It’s been a bit of a rough week thanks to a rotten cold and stuffed up head which meant that I couldn’t concentrate on my sewing.  I had to put it all away for a couple of days knowing that […]

Now Where Was I?

Eternal Promise 21st November

I promised myself that I would finish page 1 of Eternal Promise once I had finished Couch Dragon and here it is.  It only took a few days to finish off the bottom half of the page.  It’s mostly the […]

Fanfare Please

Couch Dragon 17th November

I’m just no good at judging how long something is going to take.  I was sure that it was going to take two weeks to get him finished but in less than a week I stitched that final page. He’s […]
