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.

Just over five years since I started her and Whispers is finally finished.  I worked the last two pages together, they were full of confetti but that’s what makes that grass and those daisies look so real.  It had been […]

Whispers 15th November

I had a week holiday from work and stitched a page.  That little daisy was really fiddly and a warning of things to come.  It was at this point that I really began to believe that I could get her […]
