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.

It’s been a little while since my last update, and although I would like to say that I have been busy with stitching and writing I’m afraid that I haven’t. And yet as I say that I think back and […]
Time for an update to the work in progress, thanks to some time off work and a couple of weekends I’ve managed to make a lot of progress on the woodland enchantress. I think it’s about a quarter complete now […]
I think it’s perfectly normal for stitchers to have a large pile of kits and patterns that ‘they’ll get around to doing soon’ otherwise it wouldn’t have been given the name of ‘stash’. But this weekend I was thinking about the […]
Weather has been too hot recently for spending any significant time in front of the computer, so I’ve been making the most of it and getting some stitching done instead. Time for a latest picture of Woodland Enchantress. I’ve been […]
