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.

So I went straight on with pages 33 and 39. At the end of this page I was halfway through the last two rows of pages.  It started well with lots of blocks of colour in her leg and feet.  […]

I then decided that instead of switching after two pages I would carry on because the second page was just a small page and page 32 wouldn’t have so much grey on it after all.  I ended up stitching  blocks […]

Welcome to the start of another ‘batch of posts to catch up’ I’m going to start with Page 5 of Just Be.  I stitched this after finishing the row on Gamer Nouveau, more sky and a lot more metallic thread […]

The end of the row, two rows of pages remain. This page was really quick – the secret was having some time off work and spending one night stitching until midnight.  The blocks of grey made up for all of […]

Thanks to the leg block page on Gamer Nouveau and a few days holiday from work I had lots of time this month to work on Just Be.  I changed frame as well.  I had been using a lap frame […]

The restart of Santa Owl continues to go well.  After completing the hat and the top right page of the owl I switched over to the left to complete the top row of pages.  I’m only working on him on […]
