This little bear is cuter than cute--and so appropriate for the beginning of Hanukkah.

Last Minute Shopping Advice
Labels:
Christmas,
gift certificates
So you haven't gotten a present for the needlepointer you adore yet? Well, sit yourself right down and listen up--what you need is a gift certificate.
After all, needlepointers come in all sizes, shapes and sexes and they like a diversity of things. You as a needlepoint novice have no idea what they might like or what they need, so look carefully at the credit card receipts to discover the needlepoint shop they patronize and give the store a call. Tell them you are desperately in need of a gift certificate for so-and-so and they'll take it from there. After all, no one knows what your stitcher wants more than they do themselves, and the thrill of being able to buy something they've wanted but felt guilty about buying will make you their hero or heroine of the season.
No shop in your neighborhood or you can't find any receipts to give you a hint where to ask for help? Not to worry--these fine folks can fix you right up. Pull out your credit card and put yourself in their expert hands. (But look carefully at each shop to see which meets your stitcher's needs best. Judaica Needlepoint and Julie Pischke specialize in certain styles of needlepoint canvases. The other links are better for a general gift certificate if you are really stumped.

Religious Needlepoint
 |
| Byzatine Icon Canvases by Designing Women |

| Petei Canvas, Easel Style Finishing by Summer Truswell |
Seeing these floral crosses from Ann Pace reminded me that I wanted to post two St. Francis canvases for you to enjoy.
http://pocketfullofstitches.blogspot.com/2011/12/crosses.html
They are both of St. Francis, the Catholic patron saint of animals. Since I have a niece who is an ardent supporter of animal care and rights, one of these would be a perfect gift.

Now I just need to figure out which one!
