Country companions ~ DMC

Well I simply couldn't help myself! I wasn't supposed to start any new designs before I could start the Train of Dreams. But after reading on the BB I was so inspired to try out a new way of stiching so I simply had to start this little simple piece.
5"x7" aida 14, using 2 strands and I am doing full cross stitches (X). I am using a wooden hoop and I am parking threads. No gridding.

I stiched about a 100 cross stitches. I enjoyed myself alot and I am seriously thinking of simply just start the Train of Dreams with out floor stand and gridding. However I am afraid the wooden hoop will ruin the evenweave so I don't have the gutts to do so. I wish they had q snaps in a store here in Sweden, but no. Everything has to be ordered.
