Once we move on from Christmas, there is a lot of winter left, and it can feel sad to pack up all the holiday cheer and have to suffer through months without all that pretty stuff to look at.
Personally I think this might be a year when people leave their trees up longer than normal, but there are still plenty of ways to bring some winter cheer into your home even without doing that.
This winter fox cross stitch pattern from LaMaria Cha on Etsy is a great winter companion. The fox is curled up in a circle of snowflakes, holly and flowers. Yes there are a couple of presents here, too, but it doesn’t strike me as a Christmas design even with that.
The design is 135 by 136 stitches, and it’s so pretty on beige fabric. You can buy it from Etsy.
