Lamp Makeover

I recovered a lampshade yesterday to match the gray, yellow and aqua motif I'm trying to achieve in my bedroom. It was plain black before. I just used modge podge (underneath the fabric only, I learned the hard way that using modge podge on top of the fabric will darken it and doesn't look so hot). I like how it turned out!

I also made another cute little wallet and started a sewing journal to record all the things I make. I wanted to have a place to keep a swatch of fabric from each project and a picture, just for nostalgia's sake. I organized it by month and then listed what the item is, who it was for, where I got the tutorial, and any 'firsts' it was for me (first buttonhole, first zipper, etc.). It turned out super cute, with the help of the cricut of course! I just need to add the printed pictures of each little project. I put a picture of one of the pages from it.

Happy weekend!
