The North Wind Doth Blow

The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do
then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his
head under his wing, poor thing.

The old rhyme keeps popping in to my head as I'm stitching. I've made a moderate start. I don't think it will take me too long to finish, well I hope not. It's a bit more relaxing at the moment to just cross stitch instead of all those speciality stitches, a very pleasant change. Don't you just love the border colour combination; CC Pea Pod and CC Caterpiller, they were made to go together!


The North Wind - Little House Needleworks.
32ct Smokey Grey Belfast Linen.

    I also love the border colors but I really wish the north wind would blow somewhere else and take the snow with it.
