The numbers to accompany the "Mirisch" alphabet continue this week with "8" . This playful alphabet is based on the title font used for the classic comedy film Some Like It Hot.
NOTICE
SITE UPDATE
I am hoping to have an announcement regarding the on-line store very soon.
I'm well into my second week with a horrible cold that's got me flattened, so unfortunately I don't have a project for this week. I'll be back next week with another.
If you need to catch up, you can have another look at all my 2026 projects. And if you're inclined, you can browse through myprojects from this and previous years, going back to 2018.
NEWS & DOINGS
As always, Scampers likes to lounge on whatever projects I'm working on.
He knows that's the quickest way to get my attention.
Louise tells me she's paring back on her ornament-giving this year, but I do have a few to make for her, including more VON smocks.
Though I think navy is their colour, this time I made a couple in a lighter shade of blue. I hope Louise likes them.
Over the years I've made several sets of these gorgeous Nativity Angels from Sonia Showalter's Angel of Light series, but this is the first time I've added one of the pretty headpieces.
It is stitched separately and glued to the back of the angel's head to form a kind of halo. Beautiful! NowI'll have to add some to my own set of Christmas angels.
I'm not affiliated with this artist in any way, but I do like her designs.
Lovely teacups and saucers can often be found for only a few cents at thrift stores, and they can be recycled inton floral centrepieces, candles, and trinket holders.
My sister's craft class recently did just that, and the items took pride of place at a community tea.
This sillypiggy votive holder caught my eye in the thrift store, but I resisted for a couple of weeks.
Then he went on sale for half price, and I finally succumbed.
He set me back only $1, and I can display him with the rest of my piggies.
I was happy to find this piece of NS tartan fabric: it's not wool, but it will still work for some of my projects.
I make it a point to purchase tartans whenever I see them.
