Button Bracelets...

Last winter I sorted my buttons by color...

The first project I made with buttons:

Wine Glass Charms

Second project:

White Button Necklace

Third Project:

Brown Button Necklace

My latest Button FUN:

Button Bracelets

I like waxed cord for the bracelets.

In the evenings, I make a couple of bracelets...

They are starting to pile up...

My favorite....so far:

Metal buttons off jeans......love it!

I have worn this one to town several times.

The clear buttons are beautiful to work with.

Earth tones work nicely together.

These bracelets have been given away to

my quilting pals, friends, family and neighbors...

But, I can't stop making them!

We had a new calf early this morning:

The new black calf and her mama are in the

center of the photo.

They are flanked on each side by the

Shorthorn Bulls.

Button Necklace....2

This is my second try at creating a

Button Necklace...

I pulled out the neutral and earth tone buttons

I layered the buttons...

First Layer....Large Buttons

Second Layer.....Tiny Buttons

The gold chain went nicely with the earth tones...

The next time I head into town...

this baby will be around my neck!

We are still spending lots of time

over at the cow barns:

The cowboy just finished tagging a new calf.

Button Necklace...

Over the winter months

I sorted and organized my buttons...

I pulled out the white buttons,

chain, and jump rings...

to create this button necklace...

Lots of FUN!

I added a few charms at the bottom.

This was great FUN and I am planning

my next button project!

This is what is going on in the back yard today:

The tulips are blooming....in the rain

I just adore photographing rain drops

We are still spending lots of time across the river

 at the cow barns.

Buttons....Wine Glass Charms

A couple weeks ago I sorted my buttons...

Here they are on the jewelry table...

ready to play!

Here is my first button creations:

Wine Glass Charms...

2 sets of Wine Glass Charms!

Yes, these were FUN!

Go Make Some...

Below is a video of the yearling cattle.

They crossed the river below the house to eat

the grass along the river bank.

It was going to rain, the river will rise

and they will be stranded on the opposite side,

so we had to herd them back over to our side:

Button, Button....Who's got the Button?

Today is the day I get my buttons organized...

I have been collecting buttons for 20 years...

Today I am sorting them by color...

I want to create button jewelry...

If I get them sorted by color,

they will be more user-friendly when I am

creating jewelry projects...

They look FUN in the big jars,

but it takes too long to search and hunt down

the right button I need for a project...

After they are sorted by color,

I stored them in ziploc baggies...

I placed the baggies in 2 big plastic boxes,

kind of like a filing cabinet storage system...

I can just flip through the baggies like files

to find the color or style of button I need...

Here are the buttons on my jewelry table...

I am ready to create button jewelry.....FUN!
