Shedding a little light on the subject

 My son came for dinner and I had to take care of bills this evening so there wasn't much time to play. I did spend a bit of time making oil lamps for the sitting room. I made 2 sconces and a table lamp. I am especially happy with the table lamp. It is time to restock my bead supply, though. I need clear beads in multiple sizes and shapes before I make any more lamps.

The space is coming along nicely and the bead lamps are great! I wonder if you are going to add base and crown molding, and if so, will you use wood or cereal box cardboard?

Thank you, Jodi! It feels good to be working in mini again. We have a lot of stressful things happening in real life at the moment so I needed some mini therapy. :-)I will do trim. There are a lot of gaps to fill. It will most likely be wood, possibly balsa depending on budget.I had planned to add window trim but you can't really see it once the curtains are hung. I will do trim around the door and change out the string door pull for something more knob like.

That all sounds great! Can't wait to see each step as you go!
Sending prayers your way for the real life challenges - minis are such a great way to help us not worry about the things we can't change anyhow!
