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.

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
