More Crewel Embroidery

Here I am once again with a new finish. The first for the new year! Although I have cheated by working on this during December too.
It's already been nearly a week since I finished this.
The color choices caused me great pains. I somehow managed to pull it together well enough for it to look alright, but my problem isn't that I don't know the colors I want to use, it's that I don't have them! I will keep collecting crewel colors until I have want I need!

Well, I don't consider that cheating, Emily and I'll be very happy to produce my first finish of the year (which I hope will be soon and that there may be 2 or 3 this month!).

Well done and yes, I sympathise with the colour problem. Even with my massive stash of threads of so many types (except wool, which I dislike the feel of), I still often feel I lack the exact shade I want...

I like the beads, Emily. I'm looking along the lines of stitching, admiring the elements and colors, and then BEADS! I know you've used them before. I think I'd like to try using them.
