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 think that I can happily say that a two week rotation is the right length of time for me especially with these two confetti heavy projects that I’m currently switching between. During the second week on the gamer I […]
A few days into my rotation on The Gamer and I finished a page, that’s seven pages now complete on this one. There is still quite a mix of blocks of colour and patches of heavy confetti, I think the […]
It was my rotation switch this weekend so I thought I’d share an update of where I finished on A Stitch In Time this week. I’m stitching the regular version of the chart and the 87 colour version rather than […]
My rotation swapped on Saturday and brought me back to stitching A Stitch In Time, I knew I didn’t have a lot to do to get it finished but a lot of it was the background fabric pattern and a […]
