A New Start and Progress

Not a lot of stitching going on last week. The twins headed back to college on Saturday afternoon, and after having them home for 3 weeks, I am adjusting back to empty nest status, so I will probably spend more of my free time stitching this week. I did get a start on my ornament for January.
It is LHN Under the Tree. I am stitching it on 30 WDW Straw linen using the DMC floss called for on the chart. I also gave my long time UFO now WIP(Seasonal Scenes Summer) a little attention. Here is a photo of where I was the last time I stitched on it.
And, here it is after some stitching this week.
I am stitching this on 14ct cream Aida using the called for DMC floss. I considered stitching this on evenweave or linen, but the Fall and Spring ones were stitched on the cream Aida. Way back when I stitched them, I did not know that I could stitch on anything but Aida. I bought the fabric for all 4 pieces when I bought the chart, and I want to frame and hang all 4 seasons together. So, I decided to stick with the Aida. I don't have a problem stitching on Aida(all the Love Quilts squares have to be stitched on Aida), but when I come to the 1/4 stitches I may think otherwise. That's it for this week. Thank you for visiting and the kind comments!
