I have a lampshade that has been bugging me for months -- I wanted to recover it but couldn't find the perfect fabric. Tonight, at ten minutes to closing, my Bub and I ran into Hobby Lobby (my second trip today, yikes!) and I found the PERFECT fabric! And trim! In less than ten minutes! Yayeeeee!

I'm so excited! My cat, however, is thoroughly unimpressed:
That looks says, "You add this crap to my food bowl and I will pee on your drapes, lady."
