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.

After those pages I forgot to take pictures of the other page finishes.  But yes I’ve finished and before the year ends.  I’ve had a lot of fun stitching this and she looks really good.  Not sure how I’ll have […]

At about this point I was beginning to wonder whether it was such a good idea to try to get this finished in December. I had been looking forward to getting back to Mario, he is so cute.  That keyboard […]
