my creative space

In my creative space today I can gladly say I have finished something I've been working on for a while. I finally got all 560 of these...

I think you'll agree, it's very, very pretty.  I'm really loving bright colour combinations for my jug covers at the moment.

I now have to list it in my shop but I am in two minds.  It's so pretty and 560 beads takes a lot of time to count and crochet into the work.  I feel quite attached to it.

I think I need a little more time to think about it.

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! (favourite Annie quote in our house at the moment!) That is divine! 560 beads, no wonder you feel a it attached to it. X

CurlyPops said...

Phew....560??? I wouldn't be able to part with it either!

Tania said...

Don't let it go! Don't you dare! Or if you do, AUCTION it - you might be able to pay off a mortgage or something.

KEEP IT!!! KEEP IT!! 560 beads is a lot and well if you're anything like me, who only gets very attached to certain things of mine, I would keep it, once it's gone it's gone.....
It's beautiful by the way and I don't think it wants to leave you either.

Kirsty said...

I'd hang on to it too.

You could never be adequately financially rewarded for such work. It's one to pass down to the kids.

Melissa said...

Wow, I love the colour combo as well. And I agree with Kirsty, keep it and pass it down.

Cathie said...

oh my goodness exactly!
that is amazing, i would definitely be keeping that one Melanie.

Steph said...

That is so beautiful!!! You should definately keep it for yourself! Hope all is well :)

Mel said...

Mel that is stunning. What and immense amount of work. I agree with Tania - AUCTION!

Sally said...

As I saw your exquisite crochet then I gasped and put my hand over my mouth in total and absolute AWE.
So precious. So elegant. So dainty and beautiful. The colours are enchanting. Please don't let it go. After 560 beads it should be yours to keep and then passed on to that gorgeous girl of yours.

Deece said...

Congratulations! What a feat. I love the bold color combination.

becclebee said...

oh my life - that is fantastic! i would find it so hard to sell, but still, then someone else who loves it gets a turn... (still, i think i'd keep it, if i could make something so amazing as that!)

Oh wow! That's so beautiful!! A keeper, I'd say.

Selina said...

Keep it!! It's gorgeous, and very hard to put a price on with all that work. Love that colour combo.

I am in awe Mel, and I am left wondering just how many hours that would all take?
It looks beautiful in those colors, with the groovy beads and glitter bits too! KEEP IT x
