Embroidered Dove

Autumn is upon us, the leaves are changing, the temperature is (sort of) dropping and for the world of embroidery magazines...it's Christmas already.
I now seem to be working on three pretty big stitching projects simultaneously but I found time to stitch this cute Yuletide dove in the spare moments between them.
It's nice to break up big projects with a little something you can do in a day sometimes.
I liked the colours and the fact it's stitched on linen, rather than aida, as it gives me more of a challenge. Linen and evenweave are materials I'd like to become more familiar with as they can create a better finish than aida with some designs.
