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.

Couch Dragon 29th July

Couch Dragon won in the end even though that end of row page was so tempting.  But how could I resist working on Couch Dragon? The colours are so bright it’s nice to get back to them after just seeing […]

Couch Dragon 8th July

Whispers has a face

Whispers 25th June

Mini Lost in You has been put on hold for a while at least until I can figure out what to do with all of that white.  So instead I’ve been working on Whispers, page 19 otherwise known as ‘face […]

Catastrophe

Computer Catastrophes 14th June

I don’t think any of my sewings are completed perfectly correctly.  It seems impossibe to get every stitch in exactly the right place and most of the times little mistakes like that are never noticed by anyone other than the […]

Mini Update

June 9, 2012 Nikki
Mini Lost In You page 3

I’ve finished page 3 on Mini Lost In You.  It wasn’t quite a full page but I’ve had lots of stitching time this week so I made the most of it.  The arm is looking good but the big block […]

Change of Plan

Whispers 4th June
