Oh Happy Day!


It's Wednesday!

So that means I'm linking up with my sweet friend Alicia and her fabulous


This week's challenge was to actually DO something we pinned.
So after 'paroosing'  my boards, I decided on a lampshade revamp.

Here was my inspiration


Now this lamp is wayyyy prettier than what I'm working with,
but it's what inspired me to bloomify what I have.

So, we have this lamp in the classroom that got a little crispy on one side.

Opps!
Just a little meltage.

 Ya see what I need to cover up?

 I whipped up a few blooms using vintage atlas and dictionary pages.




I had every intention to spiffy up another lampshade with a few fabric blooms,
but then something amazing and beautiful happened . . . 

the sun came out!
So I promptly left my craft mess and headed outside with my girls to plant a few flowers.





 It was a happy day indeed!
Head on over to Alicia's and check out all the other fun projects!

 

Hope you create a bit of happy in your day today!
