Getting Things Done

I'm feeling pretty good about what I'm getting done on my site now. I still have pictures to add and a few more products but the majority of the lamp parts are out there. Yeah! Now I can enjoy making more lamps and doing the creative part that I enjoy. I like doing the computer stuff too but it seems to have taken over the creative part for a while. I just finished a new teapot lamp that I'm calling Grandma's Rose Teacup Lamp because it was a teacup and saucer my Gram had a fresh flower arrangement in. I changed it by adding silk flowers and electric candle lamp and a handmade shade. It felt so good to accomplish something creative.

Then some exciting news for me! My husband bought me a new embroidery machine. I didn't even have a desire to have one until we were in the quilt store and he saw it. He had me talk with the owner who showed it to me and I fell in love! I can do embroidered lampshades! How cool is that? I've only had it one day and I've already made a potholder that I'm going to be giving to a neice. I have 11 of them to make and now I can embroider a butterfly on it in 5 minutes instead of 1 hour or more by hand. I am sooooo blessed!
