Finally, my January piece is finished.

Or close to finished. I plan to frame this piece, so the task still remains to select a backgroundfabric, select a frame and complete it. During that process there are some beads, the white beads and bugles that edge the beaded frame in the piece, that I feel will look better if they are sewn down and will be straighter.

I'm still a little close to it, but I am happy and will be pleased to set it aside and get February started...and not a moment too soon!
