recycled lampshade - bird cage - mobile
inspired by the lampshades in
"Granny Chic"
by bloggers Dottie Angel and Ted and Agnes
i wanted to make one since i first saw one on Dottie Angel's blog
it is such a happy sunshiney piece.
i'm now scouring the charity shops for more ratty old lampshades to recycle!

Adventures with my sewing machine!
look look LOOK
i actually sewed in a zip!!!
it even open and closes!!!
I made myself a little pouch/purse/bag thingy :)
This is the first time i've actually sewn in a zip
so it's a bit rough and ready but i'm very pleased with myself!
