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.

Late Update

Train of Dreams 26th Jan

It’s a late update this week as life and head colds try to interfere with my stitching.  It’s difficult to stitch with a head that feels full of cotton wool but thanks to gridding there has been no major setbacks […]

Another page finished

December 5, 2010 Nikki

It took me all week to do it but I’ve finished another page on Train of Dreams.  It has been a very slow week for stitching this week, partly because it has been a very busy week at work but […]

Train update

Train of Dreams 21st November

After finishing Sunny I promised myself that I’d get some more done on Train of Dreams.  I’ve managed to get most of page 14 done in a week, just two columns to do before moving onto the next page.  I […]

A start and a finish

November 14, 2010 Nikki

Well I ended up starting Whispers after all but I have yet to take a photo as I only spent a few days stitching before the stitch along week started.  Whispers is my first attempt stitching over one on 28 […]
