Crochet Buffet

I started working on this last month, thinking it would take me until mid July to complete.

I broke down the number of squares (twelve 12") into weeks, doing one per week.
Well, I beat my deadline by 9 weeks!

Here is the result:

Each square covers the months of the year, and represents family.
From top left:
January- Emily's birthday (she loves flowers)
February - My SD's birthday
March- My SS's birthday
April - it has 4 hearts, and represents the 4 babies we've lost
May- Mother's Day (it's my square because Emily & I share a birthmonth)
June - Father's Day (it's DH's square because our anniversary is the same as his birthmonth)
July- Riley's birthday (she loves butterflies)
August - In Memory of my BIL
September - our anniversary!
October - My MIL's birthday
November - nothing happens here in November :lol
December - Turner's Birthday (note the Harry Potter colors!)

I almost want to give this to him for Father's Day, and make something else for our anniversary!:think:think
