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.

Catching up

Train of Dreams 5th Aug

I missed an update last week.  I got myself into a bit of a tizz with my Train of Dreams, not with the stitching itself but because I couldn’t get comfortable sitting behind my frame.  It’s a very big 36 […]

Fairy Update

July 30, 2010 Nikki

It’s taken just over a week but I managed to finish page 2 and stitch the small page 3 on Faces of Faery #70.  Once I had got her hair done it was time to move onto those lovely feathery […]

Cookies

Train of Dreams 22nd July

I thought that finishing page 12 would take longer that it did to complete because of the details in the page.  The little jewelled box felt like it took ages there were lots of colour changes in it.  But I […]

Train of Dreams 16 July

This has been the 12th week on Train of Dreams, I’ve finished page 3 now so I’m going to finish page 12 before going back to finish a page on faces of faery.  The sleeping sun is just beginning to […]

Stitching along

July 9, 2010 Nikki

This week has mostly been about the Sunny Storykeep stitch-a-long.  I got a lot done after my initial huff with the flower which taught me that I prefer to work in columns in areas packed full of colour changes.  Once […]

Too Hot…

July 4, 2010 Nikki
Train of Dreams 2nd July

I really don’t like the hot weather and it’s been hot and stuffy here for quite long enough, which although it’s only been a week or two is still long enough for me.  It’s so stuffy and it’s putting me […]

Fairy Day

Faces of Faery 70 26th June

It was fairy day this week so I have been working on Faces of Fairy #70 for the occasion.  Her face is now complete so I’ve started filling in some of her lovely purple, blue and pink hair.  I seem […]

Trains and Dragons

Train of Dreams 18 June

Had the time to get lots of stitching done this week and without hurting my shoulder or my neck.  I’ve put in just over three columns since moving onto the next page.  There’s a lot more of the dragon beginning […]

Four pages complete

June 11, 2010 Nikki
Train of Dreams 11th June

Yes I’m about 25% of the way through the Train of Dreams, this week was week 9 and I now have 4 pages complete so only 12 pages left.  If you say it quickly it doesn’t seem quite so much […]
