Problem: Article: Put a big smile on your face and walk over with confidence. Start the conversation with a warm hello and tell her your name. Try to avoid using any cheesy pick-up lines. She will probably see right through it and you may come across as disingenuous.  Shake her hand too as a friendly gesture. Not only will she think you’re a real gentleman, touching someone is a subtle way to flirt. If she’s sitting alone or even with a friend, ask if you can hang with them for a bit. Don’t just assume she’s in the mood for company or a chit chat. Your politeness will work in your favor. Keep the subjects light, casual and fun. This should be a lighthearted exchange about very general topics. Consider, for example, asking her where she grew up, what school she attended, what type of music she listens to or where she's traveled to recently. Try to let her do most of the talking so you can really get to know her. If you are still stuck for conversation starters, consider that you clearly like the same types of places so ask if she’s been there before or what her other favorite spots are around town. Let her know that you really like her eyes, her smile or her hair. Keep in mind that you don’t have to compliment a physical attribute. Think about pointing out how great her sense of humor is or how smart she seems to be.  It would be easy to overdo this but don’t. One compliment will do. Keep it short and sweet. Just enough to let her know you find her attractive. This is your first interaction so it’s completely acceptable if it only lasts a few minutes. Don’t feel obligated to camp out for hours on end.   Look for signs to see if she’s interested. Things to look for include: smiling, touching her hair, making direct eye contact, asking follow-up questions or touching your arm.  If she’s not interested, she may have her arms crossed or be giving one word answers. Before leaving, ask if she might be interested in seeing you again. If you’ve been paying attention to her signals, you will know the answer to this question before even asking.  Instead of getting her number, consider giving her yours.
Summary: Introduce yourself. Ask to join her. Strike up a conversation. Pay her a compliment. Don’t overstay your welcome. Make plans to meet again.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cleaning stains out of leather is different than cleaning stains out of most other upholstery. However, if you notice a fresh stain, you can still use a paper towel to absorb the moisture. Dab at the stain, but don’t wipe so you don’t spread the stain around. If you are able to, locate the zipper on your chair and take the stuffing out. The stain has likely reached the stuffing, and if so the smell will linger there the most.  If you do not have a zipper that lets you remove the stuffing, you can still follow the next step, but you may want to act as quickly as possible so the stain does not have time to settle into the stuffing. Use just a small amount on a sponge or pad and rub in a circular motion, covering the entire chair not just the stain spot.  Anytime you wash or clean leather, you must wash the entire cushion, even up to the edges, so you don’t end up with a “water stain.” You want the leather to dry evenly so there is no single spot that sticks out.  ”Nature’s Miracle” is a popular, all-surface cleaner to remove pet-related urine stains because it effectively breaks down the damaging chemical properties of the urine.   If you have suede, nubuck, or unfinished leather it is recommended that you use cleaners specifically designed for those materials. They will likely be damaged or discolored if the wrong cleaner is used.   Try your cleaner on a discreet area of your leather furniture to observe its effects before fully applying it - this will let you know if there will be any adverse effects. Use an enzyme or bacteria-based cleaner and wash the stuffing gently by hand in a sink or bathtub. If possible, allow the stuffing to air-dry outside under sunlight which helps the stuffing dry faster while simultaneously helping the odor dissipate. Do not dry the leather under the sun, as it could bleach or harden the material. Let it dry in a cool, indoor location.

SUMMARY: Absorb the stain with a paper towel. Remove the stuffing. Clean the leather with a leather-specific deep cleaner. Hand-wash the stuffing. Dry the stuffing completely. Dry the leather.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: How far is it between the top and bottom wires? How far is it around? If you are working with a paneled shade, simply take the measurement of each panel; if you are working with a circular shade, measure the circumference (3.14 x diameter). This is necessary to find out how long and wide your strips of fabric need to be and the amount that will cover your entire shade. This is where the shade becomes all your own. Use one style of material for a battered, distressed look or use all types of coordinating colors and patterns. Just make sure they're long enough!  Add one extra inch for the seam allowance. This is needed to wrap around the wire frame.  If your lamp is 20" (51 cm) around, make sure you have fabric that, in total, amounts to at least 22" (56 cm) wide. You need adequate overlap to keep the wire frame from showing. Of course, greater overlap than that is always safe, too. If each strip of fabric is 2" (5 cm) across, have at least 11 strips of fabric ready. This ensures that it stays neat, doesn't fray, and looks professional. The edges will only be seen from the inside of your lamp. If you're pressed for time or simply can't be bothered, a simple trim is fine. Using your 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) on either side, affix the strip to the top of the shade with a staple gun, hot glue gun, or needle and thread. Repeat for the bottom.  If you use a hot glue gun and glue the material to the wire, you will not be able to gather the fabric when it's finished. If you use a staple gun, it's a good idea to add decorative trim around the top and bottom to obscure those tiny metallic lines from view. You can gather the material together if you stapled or used a needle and thread. Adjust the material to achieve the look you want. Beads, tassles, or extra ribbon can be added onto the top and bottom of your shade to hide any less-than-perfect areas or simply to add more flair.
Summary:
Take the measurements of your frame. Cut strips of fabric. Hem, trim, or edge the fabric with ribbon. Attach the strips to the top and bottom of the lampshade. Adjust the strips and add trim (optional).
