Bee happy .... change a lamp

Remember this lamp?


I've made changes to it now.


Firstly, I tilted the lamp on the fruit bowl so I could turn the shade around when gluing on the pom pom trim.


I started the trim on the shade seam and finished there to make it look tidier.



I made some flowers and leaves with net and voile.


I glued these flowers on to the shade and added a bow and lots of buttons using my wonderful glue gun.


On every circle on the shade I glued a button on.

I love the finished look, shabby and vintage.


And finally, just for Mrs Exeter a close up of the Westie dog cushion I made.


Buttons for eyes and nose :)

I actually used an old cushion cover and cut it into the shape of a dog, stitched up the sides and then filled it.

Just putting my office back together now, filling shelves etc, stay tuned for finished pics :)

Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
