A finish and some framing

I finished Hot Air Balloons. Maybe one day I'll sew some binding around the edge, but probably it will just go in the drawer with the other things.

I framed Irresistible Iridescents (and it looks much better in real life)

And Desert Diamonds

And Winter Scenery. This one looks a bit funny as the picture was taken with it flat on a chair, but I've rotated the photo so you can see how it's supposed to hang to make the 'lollipop'

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:

Irresistible Iridescents

Last weekend I had a class with Nancy Cucci called Irresistible Iridescents. It was really fun. I didn't get too far, although I did make some good progress (the outlines were all stitched as pre-work, so don't think I did all that in two days).

Look at all those beads!!!

I also finished another RR piece:
