Winter Manor- A Winter Freebie

  Happy , happy Tuesday. Another beautiful day in my neck of the woods. How about where you live? Grab ya , a cup and let's go sit on the porch. I have filled up my bird feeders and have been enjoying daily visitors.

               

 Usually,  I sit by the window to see who all will come  enjoy the delightful feast of seeds. The most frequent visitors are my cardinals. 

       

As we wait for the other birdies to arrive , let's talk about stitching. 

 Today, I am excited to share with you the first house stitch of 2022. 

 I officially finished Winter Manor last night. 

Let me tell you what I originally planned. 

             

First, I was going to stitch the house in DMC 931 or 930 ,but as I was playing with my blues DMC 317  just kept singing to me. So it won out in the end. 

Wouldn't the large vase with the tree and cardinals make a cute ornament on their own? Hmmm! I just may have to stitch one up. 

I also had a date centered at the top above the house, but in the end I omitted it and added more snowflakes. 

 Now if you wanted to stitch  Winter Manor, of course, you could add your initials, a date or whatever strikes your fancy. In fact ,you may want to stitch a few snowflakes or have a blizzard of flurries like I did. My little house is surrounded by cardinals- signs that angels are near. 

               

Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.  

I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding that I  have to put each page on separate links because of the devices I use. I apologize for that.  These are images of the chart and not downloads.  And I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and stitching my little designs.
