Biggest lampshade order yet!

October 27, 2020October 27, 2020 Julie GardnerLeave a comment

I made a note a few months ago to write a blog post once I had finished a really big lampshade order. But things have been so busy since then, I'm only just getting round to it, sorry! Some of lock down (especially the beginning when I was doing Joe Wick's workout every morning and… Continue reading Biggest lampshade order yet!

Loving the choice of fabric for these big drum lampshades made for a new client yesterday. Cotton lets the light💡 through beautifully and this @ninacampbellltd geometric print is really pretty. A bit of a challenge to line up, especially for a perfectionist like me... 🤣
My goodness, it really feels like spring today! 🌞🌷 I have been busy making with the doors to my workshop wide open which is so lovely.
Echinacea drawing by gilhoolie, just having a play in Photoshop this morning 😊 Still dreaming of spring and looking forward to milder weather and of course the unlockdown!!!
Dreaming of summer and strawberries. Well, just sketching some ideas for lampshades but got distracted! At least it sounds as though there's light at the end of this ever so long tunnel 😊 ✏🍓
I love making lampshades for clients 😊 but have really enjoyed working on some gilhoolie embroidered drums lately. It's so nice to be creative and I know I'm incredibly lucky. This one is on a lovely green @designersguild linen with a hydrangea and a butterfly 🦋 I saw lots of pretty snowdrops on our walk this morning so I'm thinking the next one will feature lots of spring flowers🌷 Client orders to work on first, including an embroidery lampshade commission...🧵
Another happy gilhoolie customer, this time near one of my favourite places in the UK, Bath. Won't it be amazing when we can visit our favourite places again?! We have kind of planned our next visit in our heads, it's good to daydream... 💭😊
