Kiki, I seriously can't get over hearing about your life in K-town. I just think how fun it would be to have turkeys running in the street, and bats in your house, and ice skating on a pond, and driving 2 minutes and you are out of town. HAHA okay I don't know if I could do that! I always thought country living would be fun but hmmm I just don't know anymore. Maybe if a big city were less than an hour away, yes then I could. ;) Okay but that bat oh my goodness. C sent me a picture of it trapped in the fireplace eww! I definitely would not have been able to sleep with that thing flying around; props to you!
I am so sorry I have not written sooner. I promise I have a good excuse. Okay well not great, BUT I finally got my Kindle Fire and for the first month you can enjoy the prime membership which means free videos instantly to it. (yeah haven't even read a book yet). I have been watching LOST! Miss S got me into the series but she didn't have the last two seasons so I have been dying to see what happens. Wouldn't you know that they are on my Kindle! So I apologize for not writing last night, I decided I had to watch LOST instead. I know so lame and I feel bad, but at the same time I am dying to go up and watch it right now HA!
Alright before you think I am the worst sister ever, here is my DIY project.  We were given a set of lamps when we got married and I was into my modern, black and white phase. Well that phase has come and gone and I am all about hmm don't know the exact word for it, I guess farmhouse with a twist. Anyways I redid one of the lamps and I love it! I can't wait to do the other one too.

before. Sorry this is in garage don't mind the mess.

After, in the guest room under the embroidery hoops.

I spray painted the base white. I still need one more coat because I ran out but you get the picture. To the shade I peeled off the inner plastic-y part because it had cracked from the move. So now it is just fabric, not as shaped as before. I then took scrap fabric I had leftover from my first quilt and hand sewed it over the black. I sewed the edge on the shade first then folded the fabric over the metal frame and sewed that on the inside. The sewing was a little tedious but well worth it I think. Hope you like it :)
Missing your family! LOVE YOU
