Sweet ruffle lamp shade tutorial

Those Crafty Texas Girls come up with the cutest things!  I'm thinking of a more neutral color scheme for my bedroom and these sweet ruffled lampshades are just the thing!  With such a great and simple tutorial on their blog I'm going to have to try this!  I'm hoping to get to this on my day off wednesday since it's supposed to rain :(  I'll post some pics when I get done.

Hand painted wooden cross

I love the look of hand painted wooden crosses.  Normally I'm all emcompassed with my jewelry but I thought I would try out a design I'd had in my head for awhile.  My mom makes a lot of wooden hand painted craft type items but for some reason I've always shied away from them.  I really like the way it turned out. 

 Here's my first attempt.  What do you think?  Should I make more?
