A Cold Winter's Day- Dot's Saltbox- A Winter Freebie

Good evening , Sunshine!  Pack up the sweaters and pull out the shorts, it is going to be a warm 70 degrees today.   If it is not going to snow, then I gladly welcome the warm weather.   

For the last couple of years I have shared a winter saltbox . They have included 

Winter Manor

 and  Winter Saltbox   .

 I do love blue houses especially come winter time. But this year I decided to change it up and stitch a cool pink house in memory of my Aunt Dot ; her favorite color was pink. My newest saltbox is called " A Cold Winter's Day- Dot's Saltbox". 

 To me it looks cool and serene. Of course I had to add  couple of cardinals.  

 It is a very snowy day at Aunt Dot's home .  Though it is hard to see, there are 3 small snowflakes on the house ( just a hint of snow).   I used 13 DMC floss colors in this piece which include 3777, 646, Blanc, 610, 224, 3713, 937, 898, 902, 3371, 301, 437, and 869. 

If you are interested in stitching A COLD WINTER'S DAY- DOT'S SALTBOX   ,grab the images below. Many of ya'll know but I always encourage you to read my little disclaimer and note about getting my charts. 

NOTE: Normally I have been able to create links to the charts and instructions which were in JPG form. For some reason, recent updates on Google Docs. has prevented me from doing that and I am not able to create a pdf without having to deal with storage issues.  Many dear stitchers say they right click, save the image and then print.  I think some have copied and pasted it to a Word document that they can print off as well. I hope you are able to find a way to enjoy this chart. You will have to click each page to save. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding and for all of the helpful tips and ideas. 

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 . I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and for stitching my little designs.

Alrighty , ya'll. I am off to finish taking down Christmas decor. It is a slow process, but I will eventually get it done. Have a beautiful day and ...

As always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
