I love nut cups! I was so inspired by the cover of Country Living this month and just loved the idea of the mercury glass beads that I had to try it....and I love the way they came out! I already have some vintage beads that I've used before but when I was taking the decorations off my Christmas tree this year, one of the strings of beads that I love so much got caught on something and the beads went everywhere! I was crushed! Right away my husband said in a panic "don't worry, I'll restring them for you!" Then I thought, the heck with it, I'll find something to make with them. Then came Country Living...
The nut cups I listed here because I know I can make many more...and more...
Also had some little boxes that I started covering with some scraps. They are so tiny and cute! For now I think I may use them as storage for some of my little buttons, beads, etc.
Now I have to get to real work...food shop, bank, cleaners..so exciting! I do have the parent project of the month this afternoon at my sons class. At least that will be fun!

cute stuff Jennifer! I love making nutcups and was going to start a set for a swap I am in if I can get to it today! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Those little boxes are just precious! The mother of pearl buttons are perfect in them. Love the look.
Love all the vintage buttons. Reminds me of my grandmother & all the clothes & valentines she use to make! Thanks for the memory!
