Skating at Rockefeller Center

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.
