This calendar shows each month of the year of 2013 and features the painting Ella and Carolyn. Each of the posters measures 13×19″ and can fit in a small poster frame (I’ve found good frames for not much money at Michael’s that fit perfectly) or you could tack them on the wall or secure them to your fridge. Because they’re small for a poster, they can fit in a variety of places and not be cumbersome, you could even hang them in your office!
Another special calendar idea was this unique Advent calendar! I am really pleased with how it came out. I’ve never seen one like this, so the art and the calendar are my own design. It shows the months of November, December and January and begins with All Saints Day and includes St. Nicholas Day, the Advent Sundays, Christmas and later Epiphany and the following Sundays.
The calendar also includes Thanksgiving (American) and New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day so it will be a great way to keep track of all your holiday goings-on and celebrations!
Both calendars are now listed in my etsy shop, and if you’d like both of them, I have a special listing available where you can get both for a discounted price! Come check it out!~
In knitty news, I finished the little hat I showed you yesterday! It’s slightly wonky, which is ok, since the yarn is an ‘art yarn’ and so it started off with a little wonkyness but I think it’s super cute. I made my first pom pom as well! Audrey modeled it for me on the porch yesterday evening and happy to report it fits nicely!
One of my favorite winter movies is “A Christmas Story” and I love the long floppy old-fashioned hats the children wear. So that was the inspiration behind this one, plus it looks very elfin and gnome-like 🙂 I think the pretty multi-pink yarn was perfect for it too!
Well, off to start the day. Hope you have a good one!~
