I blogged a while ago about this chalkboard...
you may remember the little felt teapot, which works as a mini chalk and duster holder...
It's now featured as a project in the February issue of Craftseller magazine, which is due in the shops in a few days (subscribers should already have their copy).
It's made from an old wooden picture frame, updated with a lick or two of paint (and the teapot, of course). The chalk board part is just the old backing board reused. I love a good upcycled project, don't you?
I have another frame ready to recycle, extra large this time, rescued from who knows where by someone who just knew I'd use it. I think I may do something similar with that one.
You may have noticed it's the 99th Handmade Monday. Enjoy this week's links - of course! - but do pop back next week for some celebratory giveaways! We can't let our 100th go by unmarked, although I'm not expecting a telegram from the Queen just yet...

Hey that's great well done x Joan
Love the Idea of the teapot for holding dusters and chalk. I'm always losing mine!
I really look forward to seeing your ideas in craft seller, its nice to see the process behind your fantastic makes :-)
Congratulations again :). It is a great make. I think you deserve a telegram from the queen as it is an amazing achievement. (bet she would too if she knew about it!)Look forward to reading about this weeks successes.
what a fantastic upcycle, i love it! V tempted to have a go at one myself :) x
Loving the colour of the teapot. What a good way to re-cycle a frame.
saw your article in craftseller and love it x
I always look forward to seeing your makes in Craftseller...especially if you've given us a sneaky peek on the work in progress...or even just a little clue as to what you were doing... xx
Congratulations on the publication, it's a great way to reuse old frames that have lost their glass.
Looking forward to next weeks 100th

I love this idea, perfect for the kitchen, another great piece
WOW next week is 100 ? That's really great - I'm far far behind with blogging but I enjoy it when I find some time. Thank you for taking the time to run Handmade Monday !
Looking good ! The teapot is such a cute colour ! I really need a chalkboard in my kitchen ! Thanks once again for hosting & can't wait to see what's in store for the 100th !
I really like that chalkboard - getting excited for next week already!
What a fabulous idea. I love the idea of upcycling xxx
A lovely idea for board cleaners - great fun too. On the brink of 100 HMs? Hard to know where the time has gone. Well done Wendy, long may it continue. Hope you have a good week.
What a lovely idea to upcycle the frame, & love the little teapot.

I'm a newbie to Handmade Monday but after putting up my link I've had a wonderful time browsing through everyones else's blogs. What a great way to spend a wet Monday afternoon!
That's such a great idea. I'm always losing my piece of chalk and never have anything to wipe it clean with - really clever.
As always, just gorgeous. I love that little teapot - I also really admire that you have a distinctive style. One look and you can tell one of your designs - I love that and really hope that one day I can achieve that same consistency. And roll on #100 :)
I love the teapot, and the chalkboard design. The blue colour is lovely too. Your posts make for such helpful interesting reading.
