I’m not complaining!.
And the poinsettia in the bubbly gold container is prince charming.. OK, that’s a bit of a stretch, but you get what I’m saying.. It’s a very pretty jar.. And it took almost no time.. And I like it.. More Christmas in a Flash coming your way soon!We had the unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on how you look at it) occurrence recently of being ready to buy the lamp for the nursery at the exact time that both my local Target and Pottery Barn, were both sold out of the baseball bat lamps that they carry.I was really just going to buy one, but Chris had been insisting that he could make me one instead for the few weeks before that, so we decided to give it a go..
It turned into a pretty fun little project and a cute little baseball-themed add on for the room.. Oh my goodness, friends.It’s been so non-stop overcast here lately, so this picture is all kinds of terrible, but you can see the room is coming together pretty nicely now.It’s to the point that Chris thinks it’s done (it’s not) and he keeps patting himself on the back and rubbing it in my face that I thought we wouldn’t have it completely finished by the time the baby got here.
Of course, I still have about 73 more little details I’d like to work ok, but to a normal, sane person, the room is done.Anyway, here’s the lamp without the shade.. We bought a bat and cut it down to the size we wanted.
The bat’s about 16.5″.
Then we drilled a hole through the center and added a lamp kit..Step 3: Crack your egg and remove the yolk.
You only need the white for this.You probably won’t need my.
fun little trick for separating the egg white.since you’re just using one, but you can do it that way if you like!.
