Lamps Make a Difference!

12/19/2012

Custom Designed Lamps

We are in overhaul mode at my house.  Or at least - I am.  I mention from time to time that we live in a tiny condo, which makes decor a challenge - because every space has to be 100% functional, and not just pretty.  (Ideally it's both, though I confess - some areas could use a bit of a facelift!) ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
