We have this bad thing going on right now that everything we send or try to send to each other gets broken. I really, really, REALLY padded this in layers of bubble wrap inside a cushioned box. Let's hope it makes it! =) Either way, she'll get a kick out of the packaging.
Very beautiful!

That is beautiful! Love the colors. The blue like the sea goes well with the lighthouse charm.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Nicolette--this one took around 9 hours to make. Sorting the beads and threading them seems to take the longest, but maybe that's just because once I start crocheting it, it's hard to put it down.
ReplyDeleteHere's a tutorial how to do it: http://im-in-the-loop.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-crochet-bead-rope.html I'd love to see if you try it! (Chicago isn't THAT far away...)
Thanks again, ladies! I feel better that it will be well received. ;-)
Merry Christmas!
Very Pretty! I love the blue.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I have several set of crocheted beads. My Grandmother use to make them and I always wished I had learned how. Maybe with this tutorial I can.
