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.

Rotate or Not Rotate

May 29, 2011 Nikki

Page 5 of Whispers is finished.  I think I had almost forgotten what it was like to stitch a big block of colour and how slow it can feel.  I don’t think I’ll ever understand why it can seem to […]

Blue with branches

Whispers 22nd May

Whispers 14th May

Back to Whispers this week to finish the page that I felt so guilty about leaving. Page four is finished now and I’m getting on so well with it that I’ve decided to go straight on to page five.  This […]

Whispers 29th April

It was all going so well. I’ve been making really good progress on Whispers and was getting to the point of deciding whether to start page 5 or to get back to Little Princess for a few days after the […]

Little Princess Started

April 22, 2011 Nikki
Little Princess 21st April

This week I finally got around to starting Little Princess by Gordon Fitchett charted by Heaven and Earth Designs.  She is going to be rotated page by page with Whispers because of being lighter and brighter than all of those […]

Another Page Finish

April 15, 2011 Nikki

They’re happening quickly at the moment.  Page three of Whispers is now finished mostly thanks to only working with a few colours so it feels like I get through the pages really quickly.  That’s a good thing to know seeing […]

Framed Finishes

Train of Dreams Framed

It was a lovely weekend this week so I managed to get some pictures of the Train of Dreams and Faces of Faery 70 all framed and on my walls. For the Train I chose a gold and pewter colour […]

Qs curl up with a good book April

A change from the pictures of blue background this week.  It was Stitch Along week this week and I managed to get the page finished despite having one of those really busy weeks where there doesn’t seem to be enough […]
