For the past couple of days I have been working on making the Calendar I bought from R S Mobleys Designs. I planned and cut and screwed up so I planned again.
I used my Amy Chomas gel pen tool to write the numbers for the dates instead of piecing them which turned out pretty cool. I think I might color them in but not sure yet.
I cut all the pieces for the 3 base layers and made a template so that they would all end up pretty close to being positioned the same. (12 months + 14 numbers x 3 layers) hubby says I'm OCD.
I then moved on to cutting the pieces for October and realized just how small this project was going to be. I had to use tweezers and squint. LOL To give you an idea I took my calipers and the pumpkin in the ghosts hand is .18" x .25" The yellow top layer is 2 1/4" square.
It is small but I think it is really really cool. I sill have some embellishing to do but here is a picture on my mat so you can see the size.

Beautiful and so colorful! Be sure to post more photos of it when you get it assembled.
I love that we can cut such tiny pieces, but it is hard to glue them!
Gloria, This is just so awesome. I had no idea you were making my calendar. And wow. you took on a great challenge cutting it so small. I cut mine so the Month part was 5x5. Which I thought was small but it cut fine. What size of your month part.
Thanks for sharing your link with me, I Cant wait to see it finished. Keep me posted.
