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.

Confetti Headache

Little Princess 27th June

Spent last week picking up Little Princess as I hadn’t stitched her since April and it was about time I got back to her.  Plus with all of the colours it would make a break from the blues of Whispers.  […]

Computer Catastrophes page 1

One of the things I am constantly trying to find as a stitcher is ‘The Perfect Setup’ a setup where I will be so comfortable I can while away the hours stitching, stitching, stitching.  I’ve been a lot more comfortable […]
