Basket liner and lamp shade re-do.

So, I really have been trying to keep myself busy and occupied. I've been baking and crafting and reading and watching Pretty Little Liars. Anything to keep me from thinking about Eden too much. It has really been helping me. If I start dwelling, I start crying--and I can't stop. So this past month I've done a few things to keep me going.

I've been wanting to re-do a lampshade for awhile now. My friend Nicole was having a yard sale and was selling the perfect lampshade for my project. Thanks, Nicole! Here's what I did:

I messed up the first time I attempted this. The top of the shade is a little smaller than the bottom, so it was a little tricky. I can't find the exact tutorial I saw. But if you search Pinterest I'm sure you'll get the idea. This was so fun and I love how it turned out!

I used the extra fabric to re-do a basket.

The ugly before and much better after. This was way easier than I thought it would be. And it was really fun. If I had more fabric, I'd do it to the other baskets I have. I didn't have a tutorial for this one--which I'm proud of. I just ripped apart the original and used it as a pattern. :) I felt very crafty once I was done.
