Needlepoint & Beading: Fleur Finished

What a productive weekend we had at the LilyPad.  As you can see above, I finally got around to putting the finishing touches on the Fleur de Lis on silk gauze.  I had most of the blue beading done but just couldn't decide how I wanted to finish her.  In the end, I chose to really wonderful golden-pinkish-blueish beads to do the roping effect.  Then added a beaded rope that used blue and the smaller beads for a necklace.  When not in use, I will hang it from a door knob or hanger for a touch of decoration around the house.

Work on the background continues with another couple of squares completed.  I promise to share stitches as soon as the software upgrade arrives for my software (may need to explore another provider).

Here's to the best week you've ever had!
