DECANTER LAMP

All 3 boys are back to school today and my plan for this morning is to

spend 3 un-interrupted hours in my craft studio........so..........a quick blog post to let

you all know I am still around!!!

This is another music sheet shade I worked on earlier in the summer.  It sits atop a

beautiful crystal decanter that has been turned in to a lamp.

Love the paper rolled roses!!

Have a happy day!

SUMMER ROSES

GOSH.......!!!!

It's been so long since I last posted!!!

I have REALLY been TRYING to slow down a bit this summer and smell more roses!!

                                                                                    

This is a gorgeous three-tiered stand that I did up to sell at The Passionate Home...it was one of those things I had a bit of trouble parting with.  It is so pretty....I have had those silver lined crystal sherry glasses for years just waiting for the perfect project!

I hope all my blogging buddies are having a great summer ......I miss you all and look forward to catching up in September.

MUSIC SHEET LAMP SHADES

 Yippee......it looks and feels like summer has finally arrived here on the West Coast!!!!!

I have been working on soooo many projects lately and here is one that I am really pleased with.......

 I have been taking apart old lampshades and re-styling them.

This is one made from the pages of an old music book.  With a low wattage lightbulb the paper sheets mounted on chip board are safe.

I love these roses made easily by rolling up paper.

Happy day!
