I still have one pupae on the stick.
Early last month one of them emerged while I was at work. Its split pupal shell was all that remained. This one must be dead. I will let him hang out here through the summer, but it doesn't seem likely that anything is going to happen at this late date.
This lampshade used to have a black sheer fabric covering. I stuck in on this lamp when I rearranged the living room two months ago. I intended to buy a new one, but I keep forgetting to measure it and go out looking for a new one.
It's so disgusting. Look at the bits of black still adhered to it.
I think I may attempt to recover it in some type of fabric. I have never recovered a shade before. It would be a fun new project. It would certainly be more interesting than a plain old cheap shade.
I am excited to have a new project waiting for me this weekend.
If it flops, so what? I was planning to buy a new one anyway.
Anybody want to join me for lunch? I have heard of novel restaurant ideas, but this one is just too much.

Let's do lunch...but not at that place. It sure puts your mind in the wrong place!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how big your dahlia is! So what if we aren't that much over 5 feet-good things come in small packages. : )
Good luck with your lampshade project. I got tired of the shades I had from the late 80s or early 90s, so I just bought more modern halo ones.
LOL well it IS a very unusual restaurant, isn't it! lol I don't know if I'd want others to see me sitting on the toilet eating out of a toilet bowl! hehe Too funny.
ReplyDeleteI transplanted my Dahlia to the faerie garden and the darn thing has become huge, I had to trim it down a bit. I still don't have any flowers on it but the buds are starting to form now.
You and me both, working on a new lamp shade! I bought a cute little lamp at the auction last night but not crazy about the shade so trying to think what I want on it. Maybe you'll give me ideas as you always do:-) xoxo
Hey, Dianne, I just got measured at the Dr.'s office and I was 5'2". I have never been that tall--usually around 5'1". I thought I was supposed to get shorter when I aged, but I guess I got taller! LOL.
ReplyDeletePea, you are working on a shade, too? Did you post about it? I need to search my fabric stash to see what I have to work with. I will post a pic when it's done.
Lunch would be so fun but please anywhere but there!!
