My wall calendar hangs above my desk in "the green room" (aka my sewing room), where I tippity type almost-daily blog posts and hatch grand plans.  It's a cozy place with bright moss-green walls that somehow manage to simultaneously soothe and energize me.  The calendar is tres important.


In 2013 I've been meandering through a Stitched in Color calendar I created last year via RedBubble ( get it for 2014 here).  I've loved seeing my artwork on the wall in print, and will certainly make one again some year.  But not this year.


This year a friend turned me on to a calendar offered by the Etsy shop one Canoe two.  The talented owners draw and hand-paint each page of patchwork-inspired artwork from their barn in Missouri.  It was love at first sight with the Pieces & Patterns 2014 wall calendar.


Each page is so inspiring I was hard-pressed to choose just a few to share.  Visit the listing to see more previews. 


This one happens to work nicely with what's on my table!


So come January first, I'll be hanging this beauty to welcome the new year.  Thanks to one Canoe two for sending a calendar my way.  And thanks to Annabelle for sharing the link.

Welcome new year.  I'm ready!
