In my little matchy-matchy crazy cat lady/hooker corner I shall need illumination.
I found this lamp headed for the dumpster. I dove. I saved it. I showed it some love.
The shade was screen printed with a dorky surfer dude. White spray paint covered him immediately.
I also rescued some yarn. Who throws out VINTAGE MOHAIR Y’ALL??? Barbarians I tell ya.
Although I have no friggin clue what to do with it, IT MUST LIVE! *suggestions are welcome*
And then I spent a little time on the deck.
Of course wine was involved. I’m just playing with yarn. Sheesh, it’s not like I’m operating heavy equipment, right?
And BAM! UFO #4 done 🙂
Have a ridiculously amazing day!

Love it! Who would throw out a cool lamp like that? (Well, minus the surfer dude.) Love the colors you chose. I can’t wait to see what you do with the yarn, also.
Sincerely,
A Fellow Crazy Cat Lady in Massachusetts

Had he been a LIVE surfer dude, I would not have hesitated making him a new Speedo in crochet to snap a few pics in…
