The Good Days Calendar is a calendar that isn’t really a calendar. It is full of playful ideas you can try, or simply enjoy looking at each day. Every page holds a handmade collage and a gentle creative prompt. The activities shift with the seasons as a little reminder to notice the small, ordinary magic of each month.

It is yours to make your own so you can write in it, tape in a photo, doodle in the blank spaces, play the tiny games, or just let the artwork sit quietly on your wall. It is made to be part of your days, not just your wall.

As the year ends, you take it down and realise you’ve made something without even trying, a mini record of your year, a scrapbook of good days for you to keep.

How it is made

There’s no shortcut here. every collage has been cut, placed, and crafted by hand. each one is a small, quiet instruction, made slowly and carefully. it’s taken hours made from a variety of images and variety of materials I have made and collected over the years

Slowing down, paying attention, spending time on something, can be its own reward.

I hope these collages spark a little curiosity for you, and inspire ideas for what you might create or do, in your own way alone, together, around a table, or outside this year.

The calendar has been printed locally in the south of England and is printed on recycled paper.
