Okay, you know, there was a time that I was really bad with making things out of wood. Many things can be made of wood that you can used for decorating.

It just takes some practice...

I'm into clay scultping, crocheting, scrapbooking and those sorts of things. I can attach a few things that I have saved for my "home decor ideas" folder so that you have more of an idea of what I'm talking about.

Okay, that would be great to see some of what you've done!

If you click on the following link, you'll find a couple of images of me making thumb pianos that kids put together.

Thanks!

It's not what I've done, it's ideas of what I want to do.

Those seem to be the only two that I can find.

A recycled plastic cup lamp shade, and letter pillows.

Okay, that would be great if you would post some images of what you would like to do!

If you need help in figuring out how to go about making them, I'm sure that some of us can "put our heads together" and figure out how to make them.

Thanks!

With something made of plastic for a lampshade, you'll need to careful as to how high the wattage can be with the bulb.

Pillows in the shape of letters shouldn't be a problem.

Do you have a sewing machine?

Colored bulbs are generally low wattage anyhow, right?

For household use, yes, bulbs are usually low wattage. However, for stage productions, I think that some of them can be high wattage, although, I'm not all that positive about that.

If you have a sewing machine, then I think that you probably are ready to "fly" on some projects for your home!

Correct?

Okay, I'm starting to fade away here, Momma! I need to get to bed!

I've enjoyed our conversations here tonight, and look forward to conversing with you in the near future!

Thanks!

Yup. I want more ideas though. I've been given creative freedom for two rooms in my house, so I need TONS of ideas.

What sort of budget do you have for what you might want to do, please?

Thanks!

About $50.
