Winter Comes - Cross Stitch Pattern by Heartstring Samplery

Inspired by my collection of winter children’s poetry books, I wrote a little rhyme to highlight my favorite parts of the season: 

Winter Comes

With frost and snap and gust and snow

With branch and howl and drip and blow

With wool and boot and mitt and mug

With curl and book and hearth and snug

I added a snowy scene: a house with glowing windows and smoke wafting from chimneys, some woodland friends out in the yard, and plenty of falling snowflakes.
