GLAMOUR KNITS

This beautiful lampshade slipcover is from the book "glamour knits AT HOME" by Erika Knight. The book has 15 projects, ranging from pillows and cushions to slippers and a throw. As I am not a knitter myself (I do know how, I just don't enjoy it,) I had my mother make me two of these covers. I have yet to add the embellishments, so the picture is taken from the book. If and when I ever get mine finished, I'll be showing them off.

On another note, I need to take a wee break from my blog. I've got some personal stuff I am dealing with and I should concentrate on that and not be worried about my blog. I'll be back soon, probably in a week or so. Until then...

I"m surprised how much I like this lampshade - the description doesn't sound like my kind of thing. But I can definitely see this is a vintage-inspired guest room.

Hope your reasons for being away from your blog is because you've been inundated with orders!

I'll look forward to your return.

Take your time and enjoy blog break, I find whenever I break from blogging I feel better when I return and it stays joyful. Hope whatever you are working on goes well. You deserve only peace and kindness.
