Woodland Renovation

I've been sorting through a few boxes and cupboards and I found this piece lurking. I was never happy with it really when I finished it then, being undecided if it was an Autumn or Winter piece. Well I've now decided that it should be Winter, so I disassembled it and added the red pins and ribbon. Now I think I'll display it more.

    Very sweet re-invention! I agree. It does look more like a wintery design.

    I've always felt it was a winter piece, too, although I keep it displayed all year round. Love your finish; it works well as a pinkeep.

    I'd say you made the right decision on making it a winter piece, Andrea--it looks wonderful :) Love how the pins mimic the holly berries!

    Definitely a winter piece. I love the makeover as the red gingham ribbon makes it look more festive.
    I'm loving the basket of pinkeeps in the background too :)
