...at 6PM. I always say I'll never let her do it again....but once she's screaming, I just want it to stop.
Then, when she wakes up nice and refreshed at 9PM, I know I'm in for a long night.
Sadly, I'm not as rested and ready to be productive. At best, I have enough energy to watch tv and fold laundry.
More likely, I impulsively start some crazy project, which I inevitably mess up, since I'm doing it during my peak tired hours. The other night, my late-night inspiration was to redo this slightly-crushed lamp I bought at Target for $4. I liked the little pull chain and the shape of the (albeit dinted) shade.
Smart thing I did: used a hairdryer to heat and straighten out the shade. Worked pretty slick.
Dumb thing I did: spray glue the shade, while holding it in my hand, and then quickly trying to wrap the new fabric around it with my other hand (on the back porch...in the middle of the night). It may have a couple tiny bumps here or there. (I turned them to the wall.)
...then I hot glued bias tape around the top and bottom.
Doesn't it look great?...from a distance!
oh, Lia that's adorable! I had my doubts when you bought it! Love that print and that little cozy sleeping is pretty cute too. love mom
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! (I know how you feel about the screaming. I would have done the same.)

I love it. Plus, I love that fabric. I made myself a purse out of it! And that Cozy, bless her heart, is too cute for words.
