    Beautiful results! I learned a-lot from this tutorial. Thank you for the tips about Home Goods, and using a different sized harp to properly size a lampshade to a lamp! Your tutorial is clear, concise, informative, and thorough. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the video what a clever idea, it’s passed a few hours while I’ve been in lockdown. Looking forward to following more of your video’s. STAY SAFE 😷 Jean Clifford👍
