This means that most products are unavailable, with the exception of those already in stock and ready to ship out. Still available are Original Artworks, Greeting Cards, Bookmarks, Buttons and the complete Fairy Inspirations CD range. To make it easier, I’ve included links to all of these at the top of the website [...]]]> http://kirstinmills.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=89 0 http://kirstinmills.com/blog/?p=86 http://kirstinmills.com/blog/?p=86#comments Wed, 15 Sep 2010 11:02:25 +0000 Kirstin Mills http://kirstinmills.com/blog/?p=86 http://kirstinmills.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=86 0 http://kirstinmills.com/blog/?p=81 http://kirstinmills.com/blog/?p=81#comments Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:27:18 +0000 Kirstin Mills http://kirstinmills.com/blog/?p=81 For those who love to recreate beautiful fantasy worlds in thread, my popular new miniature dragon painting ‘The Key’ is available now at Heaven and Earth Designs as one of their beautifully detailed cross-stitch patterns: ‘The Key’ by Kirstin Mills at Heaven and Earth Designs.
