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.

Sunny Stitching

September 10, 2010 Nikki

This week has been Sunny SK stitch along week so I’ve started on page 2.  This is where all the colour changes start so I’ve reverted to stitching in columns of ten stitches and parking colours in the block beneath.  […]

Super Fast Stitching

Faces of Faery 70 1st September

Had a bit more stitching time than usual recently and it’s showing in Faces of Faery 70.  I managed to get page 4 finished in a week.  I was hoping that it wouldn’t take too long as it’s a partial […]

Frogging, something you’ll often hear stitchers talking about often in dark mutterings.  The Frog is the last thing stitchers want visiting them and it visited me the other week.  Frogging is the name given to unpicking your stitches, there’s a […]
