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.

Minerva 29th May close

A couple of updates this week but I’ll space them throughout the week so that they don’t get hidden away. I have a finish, something that I’ve started and finished this year.  Earlier this year I was feeling the need […]
