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.

A Very Slow Whispers

June 29, 2015 Nikki
Whispers 17th June

Again I’m getting behind because I did finish this page a week ago but it took ages.  Not just felt that it took ages but really took ages, it felt like it took a lot longer than that. Obviously it’s […]

I know I said I wouldn’t

The Gamer 23rd May

Well I had a new start.  I was trying so hard to just work on what I had but I couldn’t resist starting my birthday present. It’s actually a kit called Gamer Nouveau from Gecko Rouge.  A few months ago […]

In Between

Into The Sea 17th April

And between those two pages of Whispers I finished off page 9 of Into The Sea to get her face finished.  This one has really slowed because I’m not stitching during my lunch break at the moment.  I’ll pick her […]

Another Late Update

Whispers 8th May

I think I’m officially the worst at keeping this page updated.  So a quick and very delayed Whispers update. I finished page 42 and the row of pages – yay me! I’ve also started and finished page 43.  There wasn’t […]

Whispers row nearly finished

April 7, 2015 Nikki

So finally I have my first good look at the skirt of the Whispers dress.  Sometimes when you’re stitching you think that the blocks are so big that the folds and drape of the skirt will be lost and even […]

Is It A Rotation

April 6, 2015 Nikki

Whispers is my focus this year but there are others that I’m working on now and then.  I’m not sure if it’s really a rotation but I have been doing some page swaps recently.  This page was QS Queen of […]

Another Catchup with Whispers

March 29, 2015 Nikki
Whispers 24th Feb

I seem to be all over the place with posting at the moment, things are changing and there isn’t so much time of an evening for stitching which means that the blogging suffers.  I finished page 40 of Whispers weeks […]

Falling Behind

February 25, 2015 Nikki
Into The Sea 13th Feb

Falling behind with my posts again.  This time I’m going to blame it on having a really bad cold, so bad I didn’t do any stitching for nearly a week.  I kept myself from being bored by watching lots of […]

I can see a shadow

Santa Owl 7th Feb

Updates on Santa Owl are a little funny because at the moment there isn’t a lot to see, just green.  It makes me think of spring though and now it isn’t so dark when I get home from work I’m […]
