The numbers to accompany the "Mirisch" alphabet continue this week with "9" . This playful alphabet is based on the title font used for the classic comedy film Some Like It Hot.

I am hoping to have an announcement regarding the on-line store very soon.
One of the many things that make kittens so adorable is their ability to sleep just about anywhere.
One of my sister's new kittens seems to have dropped off in mid-transit between the chair and the couch!
One of the ornaments Louise requested was for a four-cat household.
This is what I came up with, and Louise says she's delighted!
I'll put the cats' names and the year on the reverse.
This "cool peel" T-shirt transfer paper goes for around $32.50 for 10 sheets on Amazon.ca -- not including taxes and shipping.
HST alone would add nearly $5 to that price, bringing the cost to about $3.75 per sheet, still without figuring in shipping cost.
I found this opened package at the thrift store for only $1 all in.
Although there were only 5 sheets leftin the pack, it was still a tremendous bargain at 20 cents per sheet.
I have at least a dozen of those "reverse painted" glass ball ornaments featuring a host of different subjects, from Cape Breton tartan to Drumheller hoodoos, from Anne of Green Gables to the Western Development Museum, from the Holy Family to Santa's sleigh ride.
Of all of them, though, this stunning RCMP Musical Ride one is probably my all-time favourite. It's beautifully rendered, and as the ornament spins on the tree, it looks as though the horses are racing past. Absolutely gorgeous.
For the longest time I couldn't find these anywhere: our local museum, where I bought mine, is sold out of them, and even the RCMP shop in Regina didn't have them. After much searching, I finally found them still available here. I have no connection with this vendor, but I do love this ornament and thought I'd post the link in case anyone wants to track one down.
My sister loves adorable little gadgets as much as I do, and she couldn't resist this set of folding snips that can be carried safely in a pocket or purse!
On closer examination, she was delighted to discover a further treasure hidden in a tiny compartment on the handle: a mini sewing kit to go along with the snips. Now *that's* adorable.
