New Message Board and Updates

Some things you just can't leave alone.  I have this little message board that I made way back and is now on to its third rendition.  Maybe its because its such an easy project to redo, maybe its because I just can't make up my mind or maybe I just enjoy change every now and again.  Either way, I like the new message board and maybe I'll stick with it for a while this time.  Here's how the board started -


And then it went on to look like this...


Then I decided to make a new kitchen chalkboard which took over the message board living space so it moved and received a new update to now look like this...


I simply took off the twine and the old fabric and pins and recovered it with new fabric and spray painted the frame a glossy navy blue.  Simple changes but I love the result.


So moving on, I am totally already into the Christmas spirit and next week I will start sharing with you some of the Christmasy things I have been working on, can't wait!  I think its because Silas is so much more aware of things this year and I know he will be so into Christmas this year so I am so into to.  Can I say so one more time?

I've also working on some changes around here on the old blog - I'm working on a new project page which will hopefully be easier to navigate and find older project posts and soon I will be updating the home tour page as well.  I've also added a little space for holiday projects on the sidebar and I will be updating it with the new things happening next week.  So many bloggy things going on so check back soon!

Hope you guys have a wonderful Friday and great weekend!!
