Who's Ready For Mardi Gras?

I am! I made this last night and MASTERED a new stitch in the process! The stitch is flat spiral stitch and I found my instructions here. Now if I can figure out what to do at the ends to add my clasp, I will be set! Loved the new stitch, may compete with Russian Spiral for my favorite stitch! It went together quick too, about 3 1/2 hours while watching "Water For Elephants" with Mina. Excellent movie too if you haven't seen it! Mina assures me that the book was awesome too.
