Thanksgivukkah!

Thanksgivukkah when Chanukkah and Thanksgiving share the same day! or how about Thanks-a-latkah. How clever is that one? Now if there weren’t enough different spellings for Hanukkah already, now we have a few more to add to the mix.

It just so happens that this has never happened before and will never happen again in our life time. How ever you spell it, the Festival of Lights, is a beautiful celebration of the miracle of the little bit of oil that lasted 8 days in the Holy Temple. Presents for 8 nights…what could better than that?

Because of the nuances in the Hebrew calendar, the first night of Hanukkah shares the night before, while you are baking pies and getting ready for Thanksgiving.

Now is this not a wonderful piece of needlepoint?! I would love, love to stitch this! I just need more time in my stitching day. How about you? do you have enough stitching time in your day? Canvas is by Melissa Shirley Designs.

My patient is always so entertaining! She is doing great with taking her pills…but shhhh, don’t tell her!

My countdown to Thanksgiving gives thanks for all that I enjoy…time with family and friends, time with my cats and time with my needle and thread.

Happy Hanukkah and Happy Thanksgiving!

and until next time…keep on stitching

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. What a super-duper trooper AlleyCat is for taking her pills! Sienna eats around the pill fragments, or totally ignores the food even if the pill is smashed to smithereens. Of course, then she bugs and head buts me to get me to fix a completely new bowl of food. Glad to see AlleyCat into everything!
