Light of the World


I love lighthouses. I think I need to put that on my Grace List to visit the lighthouses of the world.. Imagine a life without light? How welcoming is that sunrise and that light in the dark. God is light and we are drawn to him for he created the light and we never quite find home until we find him. The lighthouse helps us find our way home. I think that's why they are so comforting. Follow the light back to him. Don't waste another Easter not knowing the one that died that we might have life. He is just a prayer away, waiting for you to come home.

Lamp Make Over



Bought this beautiful fabric from
http://www.fabrictraders.com.au/shop/

Bought this lamp shade cheap from Bunnings Hardware.
I felt this fabric pattern worked better on this shape which was good because it was easier to work with.

Cut and measured (trying to capture and line up with pictures)
Particularly love birds at the moment.
Don't know why but I'm mad for anything with birds.

The old spray glue! always handy.
Sprayed glue onto lamshade to attach fabric.

Then folded over the top and used craft glue and some trusty pegs

After

Posted by PicasaAfter. I will have to take some photos during the day but I like the effect with the light on.
Lovin the birds.
