Do you remember this and this? Here I am selecting pieces and gluing them one by one, little by little, lovingly, patiently.

My mother in law brought hundreds of buttons. Run with my fingers through the stacks felt great. The girls helped to rule out some while I picked those who suited the calendar best. Or so I thought. Finally I put some string through the buttons as the way of hanging the calendar.
Thanks for your words on the finished calendar, and especially to those who pre-ordered it without even seeing it.

¿Os acordais de esto y de esto? Aqui estoy seleccionando las piezas recortadas y pegandolas una a una, poco a poco, pacientemente, cuidadosamente, en cada calendario.

Mi suegra trajo a casa cientos de botones. Entremeter los dedos en los montones me hacía sentir genial. Las niñas ayudaron a descartar unos cuantos, mientras yo elegía aquellos que me parecía que podían quedar mejor. Al final pusimos una cuerda para colgar el calendario.
Gracias por vuestras palabras sobre el calendario en el post anterior, y gracias especialmente a aquellos que lo encargaron sin haberlo visto.

Thanks Esti for sharing your process. I think you have made another piece of great art with your calendar. So very creative of you.

Wow! I hadn't relised they were completely hand made! For some reason I thought they were prints. I am full of admiration, and doubly annoyed at myself for not being on the ball and ordering one... sigh...
