BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS !


Hello everyone, a nice bright sunny morning here in the UK ! This is the start of my latest embroidery.....It is an ELSA WILLIAMS traditional crewel embroidery kit, that is new on the market ! My dear husband treated me as he knew I had fallen in love with this piece !
It is embroidered with wool  by tradition and dates right back in history !! I shall post up my progress probably on a weekly basis for those are interested ! I cannot seem to muster up any mojo for card making at the moment, so sorry !!
Oh and by the way, my DH has posted the most fascinating fungi on his blog........We visited a place called 'Hay woods' this week and I was absolutely amazed at the array of Fungi growing there !! This is his blog address http://davesoldshortlegsphotoblog.blogspot.com/  Please if you have time take a little look !
Have a wonderful and peaceful day.........hugs chris R xxxxxxxxxxxx

    Please help me! I am just starting this kit but the color key is wrong....they gave me numbers for the colors instead of letters. Did you have this issue? There is nowhere I can contact the makers of this kit for problems. Thanks, Jane.

    Don't worry....I finally figured out the color code index, which was the most complicated I'd ever seen. My confusion has been cleared after an HOUR of staring at the directions in complete bafflement. Is your project finished now, and did you enjoy making it?

    Hello, I am new to Crewel Embroidery and I found pictures of this kit on Pintress. Do you still have the color chart? Would you be willing to share or sell a copy? I fell in love with this and would love to stitch it. I raised and showed English Budgies here in America and this reminds me of them. Thank you, Jeane
