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.

I knew that I was behind with the blog but I’m further behind than I thought so we’ll have a few days of catching up. First up we have page 20 of Gamer Nouveau from Geckorouge.  It was an interesting […]

After my finish I’ve gone straight back to Gamer Nouveau.  I had a couple of days where I didn’t feel up to doing much stitching or not knowing what I wanted to work on but I expect that after big […]

Into The Sea Finished 8th Apr 2017 detail

Yes I finally have my finish, after a lot of distractions and interruptions.  I started her in 2013, not sure of the exact date possibly early November or October sometime.  It was a project that I was working on during […]

Into the Sea 27th March close up

Heading towards the end of this project now just the waves left to stitch.  I actually finished these pages last week but only just made the time to get some blogging done.  For some reason I’m just doing my stitching […]
