I was recently asked to make some lampshades for a little girls bedroom.  I happily agreed and took them home with me and only when I got home did I panic and remember that not only had I never made a lampshade but also that I had no clue how to go about such a thing.

So it is with great pride that I bring to you photos of the finished lampshades.  I did some research online and bought all the necessary gubbins needed and it was remarkably easy to do, if a little fiddly.  Of course I made one for our house first which looks ok (if you don't look too closely!) and when I got to making the ones for my clients daughters room I was really pleased with the result.  I haven't shown her yet, and I do hope that she will like them too.

The curtains in the bedroom are made from the same lilac and there is roman blinds in the stripy fabric, together with basket liners in both fabrics, and fluffy bed throw, wardrobe door curtains and matching cushions.  I am looking forward to putting it all together on Wednesday and taking pics of the whole finished room.

This job can be really great sometimes.

Oh yeah, and I also made a headboard cover for another room, another project that I had never done before. That's two more strings to my bow now!!
