Santa Claus is coming to town! I hope that he brings everything that you wished for… and especially what’s on that needlepoint wish list. Wonderful new canvases, exciting threads, books that have just the right stitch that you are looking for and all the latest and newest toys.

For me the holidays are not necessarily all about what Santa might leave me under the tree, but being with my family and carrying on all the traditions that we grew up with. Tonight’s Christmas Eve celebration and being of Italian heritage is featured around the feast of the seven fishes with a little wine of course.

Santa Claus comes riding into town in style, not on his sleight but on the panda bear. A beautiful canvas by Brenda Stofft and stitch selection by Susan Portra. This was my ribbon winner at the ANG Exhibit in San Antonio earlier this year.

My wish to everybody is for a wonderful holiday season! and since I am doing absolutely nothing stitch related…will take a little break from visiting with you till later in the week.

Merry Christmas! Merrrrrry Christmas!
