Happy snow day! The picture below (although far away) is of the lamp before I tore it up :)
ta-da!! New shade :), and I painted part of the base also.
There are definitely things I would change or keep in mind if I ever recover a lampshade again, but overall I was pleased with the finished product!

The material is from Hobby Lobby and is new for spring. And yes, I purchased extra :). Neat birds nest from farm (it was buried in a cedar bush...hopefully I haven't caused some birds to go homeless!)

pretty dear at the farm yesterday :)
