Glitter light shade

I was perusing the fantastic blog Oh Happy Day for some inspiration and came across this amazing diy project for a light shade. I've been having trouble finding an inexpensive but fun/pretty way of covering the lightbulbs in our not so new flat. The kitchen has little spot lights but the bedroom and sitting room are tricky. We have low ceilings so anything big might be too much, but something small and white seems so boring. This idea might just solve our dilemma.

Simply get spray glue and glitter and a cheap paper lantern and tada! It would be great for parties too, imagine a dozen pretty gold ones hanging with a white linen table and gold candles...

Inspiration

I've grown to really quite like JK Rowling.

In this time of applications and interviews and general need for a challenge, it is such a relief to see someone be inspiring. My wonderful friend Megan put me onto this fantastic TED video. It has made me well up a good few times!
