After following mamaroots blog for several months now, I always look forward to spying on her perpetual wood block calendar. Today, she posted a “Happy July” post and I just couldn’t resist it any longer. I rummaged through the kids building blocks, turned on my Silhouette Cameo, and got to work on my own take…

After it was all complete, I proudly showed Molly. “Uh, mommy? You forgot the gnome on top.”

Oh. Hmmm.

Humbled, I returned to my craft closet found a closepin, some wool felt and a bit of embroidery thread and whipped up this…

Mental note: Perpetual calendars are NOT complete without a gnome. Who knew?
