Fifth Night of Chanukah...more hats, more cards

You can see DH grading papers in the middle photo of the collage. He came up for air to say the blessing over the candles with me on this 5th night of Chanukah!

This mix of purple and red yarn will be a hat accomplice this evening for my youngest grand daughter. Here are the four hats I have finished this weekend so far... Greens for my youngest grandson, his dad, and my brother; and the red and green for my daughter.

Our Chanukah party won't be until sometime in January (when they can fit us into their busy social calendar!) but party we will when the time comes!!!!

I also continue to sew fabric to cut up grocery bags

for home made Christmas cards for my clients at work.

at this writing I have twenty five done, but plan to sew some more today. Only seven to go.

But then I have to print something for the inside, glue it down, stuff them in envelopes and address and stamp and mail them all. Glad I have the day off tomorrow too! The red fabric is flannel, the green cotton and the tree is felt. The gold is shiny, silky fancy fabric that really sings. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Be sure to visit Cory's blog to see how cleverly she has used her art in a series of video's about Chanukah!!! She tells the history of the holiday as well so it's quite educational. http://coriberg.blogspot.com/2010/12/menorah-lighting-day-five.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FcMmRx+%28Sacred+Arts%29
