Hard to believe Spring is just around the corner...
I feel like I just put away Christmas decorations!!
The past week I've been caring for my pup Gracie who unfortunately got into some putty that had fallen off a shelf without us knowing about it until it was too late...needless to say she got very sick...she was throwing up, couldn't eat or drink anything...we took her to the vet and they were able thankfully to make her healthy again!! They were awesome ran x-rays, 
gave her fluids and took away the vomiting, etc..
Well she's now eating her boiled chicken again and doing great!!

Make and sew the pockets and number buttons on before assembling calendar.
Wk 1sc around the inside of the ears, leaving the edge of each ear opened, stop and cut-out cardboard or plastic canvas to fit inside. Then continue working 1sc all the way around and FO.
(On the right ear only put plastic canvas on the lower portion, leaving the tip

Make 12 or as many as you desire.
Sew number buttons onto the front of each pocket and then sew the pockets onto the front panel of the calendar.


This is a great project to use all those scrap pieces...easy to make and 

fun for the kids...use the napkin rings on the kids table for your 
Easter Feast...I like making kids feel special and their table 
often gets ignored because we don't want anything getting 
broken...but this takes the worry out of that... 
You could even hang the Bunny Banner around the edge of the table!
