From Pinterest - a calender

I found this idea on Pinterest and thought it was something I could actually do.   Most of that stuff makes me feel so....inadequate.  There were a couple of other versions of this: one was done on burlap (I worried that it would fray) the other one was out of paint chips (I feared all the different colors would bug me), so I went with and adaptation of sorts:

I found the frame "on sale" at Michael's.  I liked that it was black, large and chunky.  I used some muslin that I had left over from some other project.  Then I drew the calender template on with a washable blue pen and a yard stick - I knew I brought 10 of those home from school for a reason.  After that, I traced over all of it with a black sharpie.  I added a 'notes' section off to the side because I always have things to remember.  I then located a scrap of red fabric and cute out that beautiful 'W'.  It stands for Wallis - in case you were wondering.  After a small snafu with the spray glue, I stitched the 'W' onto the fabric using embroidery floss.  To top it off, I got some Velcro stickies and a dry erase marker and there you have it - our new calender.  Note: the marker works oh so much better if it hangs there upside down.  

My first project from Pinterest.  I sort of have a goal to do one a month.  Sort of.
