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.

Whispers catch up

February 1, 2015 Nikki
Whispers 9th January

Sewing has been incredibly slow since the start of the year but my blogging has been slower.  I started the year with page 38 of Whispers and I did manage to get it finished fairly quickly but even though I […]

Santa Owl 29th December

At the end of the year I finished four pages in as many days thanks to being most of the way through them.  I’ve already shared two of them so now I’m bringing you the other two. First my Christmas […]

Into The Sea 30 Dec

It’s been a little while.  Unfortunately the laptop I use for pictures had a little mishap and had to be repaired.  All is fixed now and so I can give you a little update of some of the stitching that […]

It’s Been A While

Whispers 8th December

Finally another page finish on Whispers. I’ve had one of those mad few weeks where time gets eaten by other things leaving little or no time for sewing.  Every November and December are the same.  When I counted back the […]

Little Page Easy Page

One thing I always check on my patterns is how small the partial pages are, the pages at the end of rows and the pages along the bottom.  It’s nice to finish with a small page. Small pages on Into […]

So Happy For Lunchtime Stitching

November 25, 2014 Nikki

It’s that time of year again when all traces of free time disappear somewhere else and progress becomes painfully slow.  So it doesn’t help that I have so many hobbies to divide my time between and I have to learn […]

One Colour At A Time

Whispers 11th November

Page 36 of Whispers is  finished, it felt like it took an age but I counted up around 14 stitching days which isn’t bad for a page with a lot of confetti in it.  I’d already nicknamed the page the […]

Making The Most Of Time

October 31, 2014 Nikki

One of the things I often find is that there just isn’t enough time in the day and I’m always certain that I could get so much more done if I had more sewing time.  Over the past year I’ve […]

End Of The Row

October 27, 2014 Nikki

This year I decided to avoid making many goals for my sewings, for me they made the stitching a chore and always got derailed by new starts.  My main goal was to finish Computer Catastrophes and that it would be […]
