I drew this Vulcan junior sewing machine nearly ten years ago, how time flies! Roughly when I was made redundant and started gilhoolie. Seems like another lifetime in some ways... Great that I can use it for another of my Instagram header images though 🤣😊🧵

Another small bedside lampshade handmade using a gorgeous @charlottegaisford fabric. I adore her cotton/linen blend fabrics and they work incredibly well on drum lampshades.

Oh my goodness, how have I coped without a tripod in my life?! 🤣 I have been having a play with my new one this afternoon, taking snaps of this embroidered lampshade I finished yesterday. It's slightly off centre on purpose (honest!) as I wanted to show how well our new veg patch is doing. It really is a lovely time of year isn't it? Everything in the garden is looking so gorgeous and lush - I'm a very happy gardener / lampshade maker! 😊🌞🌷🌿

I know it doesn't look like it photographed on the floor like this but this is actually a drum lampshade in a lovely green cotton @villanovafabric with a matching diffuser slotted in the top. It's to go on a floor lamp and the diffuser will mean the bulb isn't as visible from above.

In case you can't read my scrawl it says "1000 followers"
