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.

Ouch my shoulders ache.  Spent all evening stitching because I thought I could get my page finished on Whispers.  Yes I did it and it only took me a week.  I’m not sure what it is about her but she […]

Quick Page

Whispers 15th April

Page 16 of Whispers is finished and it only took a week.  No idea how I managed to get it done so quickly, it could well be the blocks of colour need less concentration and I’m able to just get […]

I love bank holiday stitching

April 8, 2012 Nikki

I’ve had loads of time to stich this weekend thanks to the bank holiday and typically dull bank holiday weather.  Good Friday was a very long sewing session so I managed to get a lot done on Computer Catastrophes.  I […]

Just a quick update before I turn the pc off for the night. First my new toy arrived safe and sound after a slight delay at customs.  It’s a System 4 lapstand and q-snap holder and I love it.  Seeing […]

Mini lost in you 22nd March

After all of those blocks of colour I fancied a change, I fancied changing colour every few stitches, I wanted confetti.  So this week I’ve been working on Mini Lost In You again, I’d just got to the hair on […]
