Got up early this morning

I got up early this morning, and 

took advantage of the quiet to play on the computer.

Ok, you know me and you knew I would 

end up adding to Pinterest.

Here is some real beauties from today.

I can feel the sunshine.

Let's just sit here and enjoy our morning coffee.

And look what is on the wall.

 Summer is coming, with all her bright flowers.

In the southwest, we love our turquoise 

and our bougainvilleas climbing the walls.

Ok back to sewing,

I hope that you have a wonderful day today.

I get to play with my grandkids in the sun here.

Chalkboard Walls

We have been talking about doing a chalkboard wall 

for the grandkids in the hall.

Do you have one?

From dwellerswithoutdecorators.blogspot.com

The blogs I have read make it sound very easy.

This is a great calendar from MarthaStewart.  
The tutorial shows how to make different shades
with the paint.

Kids seem to really enjoy writing on the walls.

Moms write note, menus, shopping lists and poems on them.

This counter is just the right height.

This tutorial that shows how to make a board to 
hang on the wall. 




then I found this......

http://www.amazon.com/Kittrich-Corporation-Chalkboard-Contact-Paper/dp/B000KKMO90ration-

Yes it is Chalkboard Contact Paper.

The reviews say it has to be applied to a smoooooth

surface.  So the wall probably won't work. 

I think a big piece of masonite board would work.

they are very clear to say color with a piece of chalk

on its side - the whole area x 2.  And wipe with a dry cloth.

There you go!  A new chalkboard, without painting 

your wall black.

Now tell me, do you have a chalkboard wall in your house?
