some projects

Well i really enjoyed Marie's Heirloom Party,such gorgeous heirlooms everyone has, but the best part about them is the memories, every time i walk past my gram's old singer treadle i think of her and all the treasures she used to make me on it.
i have included some pics of projects i have just completed in my minimal spare time, (i was on holidays from Uni, but back now), the lamp i painted a nice red/pink, i'm not quite happy with the shade, i think it needs some fabric the same colour as the base, maybe a bow around the little bitty thing at the top. There are before and after photos, i got the lamp shade at the op shop (goodwill)for $2.00, just love the shape.The little plate thingos i have been making for quite a while, from op shop plates and glasses, just glued on, and some beading glued on to the plate, and there you have it. Not much happening on this side of the world, but i would just like to say i have met the most lovely people through blogging, i wish i started earlier.
talk soon, Amanda
