For the past couple of years quite wonderful and pleasing wall calendars have found me and I’ve enjoyed having them hanging on the wall of the NotCraft Room.

This year though – nothing at all suitable came my way!

I tried doing without for a few days, but hadn’t realised how much I refer to the wall! So I decided to experiment a bit with January – and dragged out some A3 paper and coloured pencils.

I liked the making of it very much – though it is a little impractical.

I had this wild idea that I might try something different each month – a low key creative experiment for the year!

But in the end I made tables for the rest of the months in word and printed them out.

Just writing that sentence makes me realise that Microsoft Word carolbaby is absolutely not who I want to be – so I’d best get cracking on ideas for February.
