pre-works-in-progress

I'm a bit caught up at the moment.
It's school hols.
I'm at work three days a week.
I have some major (for me) works in progress, and I plan to post some photos representing a visual diary-ish of my stress/accomplishments.
I'm decorating 3 large lampshades in a "puffy" motif, (a'la my suffolk puff clips/badges), for 3 marquees at the MELBOURNE CUP.
I have never done a lampshade before..unless you count flinging a silk scarf over one to create an atmospheric boudoir.
It's very steep learning curve requiring endless hand-wringing, busy dreams and the roping in of parents and partners to help.
When I get a bit more done I'll give you a sneak peek.
Oooooh, we have also made a softy from the softies book, which deserves a coupla snaps too.
