Welcome to our Gingerbread house in the woods! Imagine visiting this delicious candy covered home, full of the aroma of ginger cookies and delicious candies.. yum! This Cross Stitched scene is so much fun to stitch! The kids and the family dog are playing outside in the snow. They’ve made a snowman and fed the birds while Mom is busy stitching inside waiting for them to come in for lunch. This scene is easy to stitch and frame, the stitches are mainly Cross Stitch, and will add to your Gingerbread decor on your walls.. especially if you have no time to stitch and finish a three-dimensional Gingerbread Village building this year! We even found the perfect Gingerbread Frame for you! It’s painted with hearts and tiny gingerbread men and fits your piece beautifully. The linen I used is a wonderful dark grey-blue, to evoke a dark and snowy winter sky and to set off the white snow. Go to our Youtube Channel for easy finishing directions! This is a perfect design to hang in your home or cottage, or to give to someone dear, to remind us of the delicious scents of Christmas. - Thea
