Irresistible Iridescents and a new start

Cos I needed a new start :p

But I had to - it was Bluebonnet Daze at our ANG chapter and we were doing a Pat Mazu stocking called Beautiful Stripe from the chapter project book. And OK, so that was 3 weeks ago, so I'm a bit late with the pictures, but hey, it's not like it's changed between then and now.

And finally - the one you've been waiting for - here it is in all it's glory. (I'm writing this before it's quite finished, so I'm hoping that I'll get those last few hours of stitching in and so I won't be premature in typing 'YIPPEE'.)

(yes, it is resting on the back of a cat - what can I say - he was the one that sat down in the middle of my picture taking area)
Now some pictures to try and capture the sparkle and all the beads:
