One of my favorite ways to recharge is to stay home and create something just for fun. I made this lampshade this morning. A couple of weeks ago on a Snohomish fun day I was very inspired by a couple of fabulous lampshades Debi Ward Kennedy made for her booth at Faded Elegance. I decided I needed to create one too for my nest.
First of all is finding a semi-empty space to work on. Here is the space available on my studio table. Of course I needed to check my email first and eat a cookie. 
This lampshade came off the lamp I wanted to re-shade.
It's a miracle, but I figured out it didn't have the right skeleton for this project before I ripped off the middle cloth part. If I had, I would have been left with a top part like this and a separate bottom ring.
Back to the lampshade holding area to find this lovely one.
I dumped out my bag of blue ribbon scraps. This was easy because of my ribbon organizing system I explained here.
Ribbon pieces were tied around the top and bottom of the lampshade frame.
Once I started, it was hard to tear myself away to get another cup of coffee. And I really like my coffee in the morning.
Done and happy! -- Beth

Thanks for the kind words. I am still checking it out several times a day. Sort of like when you clean out a drawer, and have to open it later to bask in the results of your efforts.

And BASK you should - it's beautiful! (And aren't they just so much fun to make?!) You're gonna' be scouring old lampshades and ribbons everywhere now, my dear!
PS: check out the player piano music lampshades I made, and just put in the space and on our blog!
