@megwell - That’s an awesome use for calendar pages. I use a Bob’s Burgers calendar every year, so it wouldn’t exactly work for me, but I think I am going to ask my co-workers for their old calendars next year! Amazing way to r/r/r and get a cool and useful project out of it.

I have used calendars with one-way-up images before (both scenery and people). It can work, but they can end up kind of awkward too.

I feel like I got so busy last season that I didn’t have time to make posts here. Hopefully, I will remedy that this season!
Here is how I display the pins I previously received in the Nerd Games:
I hope to add more at the end of this season!
I made the wall hanging last year and shortly after receiving my pins, I found it was a great spot for displaying them.

Prompt: Battle - January - Hare
Team: Running with Scissors
Project Name: Bowl Cozies for Mom & Dad
Project Link: It’s a couple of bowl cozies, so… yeah.
Brief Description: When I first heard about bowl cozies I made a few for myself and my parents, but the pattern wasn’t very good. It was too small to really hold a bowl. After a few tries I found a pattern that I love and use exclusively now. But my parents still had the old ones. Last night I saw my Dad using a washcloth to hold his bowl and remembered I wanted to make them new ones. So, as soon as I got home I whipped up two of them quick as a bunny for them. Hence, Hare.

@megwell - I love the idea of using old calendar pages as envelopes. I have an old Care Bear calendar and a few old sloth calendars that would be really fun to use in this way! Your T-Rex ATC is cute. And the project link definitely counts if you add your projects to it. So don’t forget to link any of those in the future for those bonus points! 
@gozer - I love bowl cozies. I have four from bunny1kenobi. I bet your parents and neighbors will get a lot of use from those cozies with the current cold spells we’ve been getting across the US. HOLY MOLY, that cat purse is AMAZEBALLS! It looks professionally made. Well done! 
@AudiobookLover - That pin display is great! It’s so colorful
@Bunny1kenobi - How many family ATCs have you made at this point? I love that you are able to recreate all of these fun memories for your loved ones 
@ezrib - That hat looks so soft! What yarn did you use for it? It is as silky feeling as it looks? And your apple dutch baby looks delicious. I’ve never tried one, either to make or eat. But it sounds perfect on a cold evening.
