Skating at Rockefeller Center
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 9:30AM It's that time of year. Thanksgiving is next week, and the official holiday push follows immediately after. I've decided that I'm embracing it this year; it's a lot less frustrating then letting it bother me. I'm going to admire the lights, listen to the carolers, pull on Santa's beard and enjoy anything else I enounter.
I'm going skating in the park, see the tree at the Met. and will check out the department store windows on Fifth Avenue. Brooklyn will get some love when I hop on over to Dyker Heights and scope out the elaborate displays there. After all, this holiday season only comes once a year. And it seems a pity not to enjoy it.
As I dig out the skates, I think of my favorite New York City holiday locale - Rockefeller Center. Perhaps that will be the first stop in my holiday adventure.
With the holidays in mind, I made this min-embroidery painting. Fitting in a 3.5"x5" frame, it's tiny. The size helps convey the theme even more. The stitches are delicate, capturing the serentiy of the skaters. This embriodery painting acts as a wonderful accent piece, holiday decoration, and sits nicely on your desk.

You can find it in my Etsy store.
