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.

More Whispers

Whispers 30th March

After finishing page two I decided to get straight on to page three as there was only a week until the next stitch along week started.  I got to just over halfway through the page before stopping to spend an […]

Spring is here

Whispers Page 2

I like spring, the daffodils are out reminding the sun to pay us a visit from time to time.  Of course in the best tradition of things the sun mostly seems to be out whilst I’m stuck in the office […]

Background work

I got back to work on Whispers this week, I had meant to post an update sooner but although I took my picture on Thursday I completely forgot to do the update yesterday.  I managed to get just over half […]

Train of Dreams Finished

FINISHED!! I didn’t expect to be saying that just yet, but yes it’s true Train of Dreams is finished.  The last stitch has not long been stitched and my adventure with the train is complete.  I’m a little sad because […]

Are we nearly there yet?

Train of Dreams 24th Feb

I have no idea why it happens but as I get to the end of any of my sewing projects it all seems to slow down.  Each block seems to take longer to stitch than the one before it and […]

Back to the Train

Train of Dreams 17th Feb

I feel really bad for neglecting poor Whispers but I really must stitch Train of Dreams.  I’m halfway through the penultimate page now which isn’t bad considering the amount of confetti stitches in the planets.  But they do look so […]

Stitching Along

February 11, 2011 Nikki

This week has been a week for the stitch along and I’ve managed to get page 1 finished on QS Curl Up With A Good Book.  The second half of the page had nowhere near as much confetti as the […]

Train of Dreams 4th Feb

It took just over a week to complete another page on the Train of Dreams.  Yes, page 16 is now complete and the whole thing is nearly 86% done that’s just two more pages left to stitch.  I’ll be sad […]
