another little project

I have lately had a burst of creative energy.

This project was inspired by something 

I saw somewhere online.

I have searched and searched, but can't find it.

However, the mental picture has stayed with me.

Cleaning out my closet for the upteenth time,

 I found an old IKEA light. 

I originally bought this light for our porch.

Since we have no porch, 

I figured it would be the perfect base for my new bedroom lamp. 

Ripping strips of linen 

(of which I seem to have piles)

I stitched the strips to the lamp.

Doing this by hand took longer, 

but I didn't mind.

Fairy lights surround the original lamp,

and I love how they

peek through the linen strips.

So we don't have to look at the wires,

I wrapped them in some twine.

If we ever get a porch,

I can always take off the linen.

Until then,

I will enjoy my new creation.

Take care,

Denise
