I created these nesting octagon boxes using the Octagon Nestabilites. I will be putting a pattern and basic instruction on my blog next week sometime. It was a bit tricky to figure out at first, but when I got my brain in gear, they came together pretty quickly.
I made the little ribbon flowers using the thread and pull method.
I will edit this post with the direct link to instruction when i get that on my blog.
TFL!~

Oh my stars Holly! Gorgeous! I love these colors and your beautiful embellishment. (Oh man, I was so sad to see that you need a brain in gear for this! Wah...well, maybe I can do it someday!) Your work is remarkable! Love-love-love it!
