22, 23 and Tisa

RAK # 22 was delivered safe and sound to Lynn of Happiness is Cross Stitching. Lynn is the lady who encouraged me to start my own blog - and I can't be more grateful for her suggestion and encouragement. She and I share a love of French themed things. With that in mind....

  11. Yet more beautiful gifts you've created Kim. I do have to say that Tisa is beautiful - I'm assuming she must be a miniature? If so, she has an amazing amount of detail for something that small. Love her!

    Thankyou so much for the beautiful gift you sent to me, apologies for the late response, I have been to England and only just returned.
    I loved everything you sent to me, the little painted box is so beatiful and the fabric is the perfect choice!
    I will treasure the gift always.

    Hugs
