May 2024 printable calendar page


Mint and pink cake and roses for the May 2024 pintable calendar page

Another month, another printable calendar page to download and print. If you are new to this site, I upload a calendar page every 1st of the month to my Freebie page and it's time to go grab the May 2024 printable calendar page. I know many of you living in less tropical latitudes are hoping for spring to stick around as the month of April was a bit bipolar. Rest assured it was kind of crazy in Mumbai as well, we've been in an out of heatwaves and it's been hard to focus or feel functional most of the month. At this point I don't have much hope for May, we are in the last stretch before the monsoon hits India and it usually means it will get only hotter and more humid as the month progress. The irony being that I am pretty much done with summer weather, both as a human being and as a designer. If like me you make a living off making pretty illustrations and patterns that are going on products, it means you are starting to put the surfboards and seashells aside and are starting to think about fall and the festive season. I can't bring myself to draw pumpkins and autumn leaves just yet (I tried, it's a no-go) but I started designing a a number of warm toned geometric and floral designs in what looks to be the hot trend of fall 2024 : vibrant oranges, mixed with pink, purple and magenta tones. I'll go about that in details in an upcoming blog post, but the way things are going, Pantone will have to do better than give us a safe, boring, and sedated color like peach fuzz for 2025. In May you can continue uploading summer themed designs, and start uploading 4th of July patterns since people are going to start looking for fabric and accessories around the red, white and blue theme this month. With fabric printing sites like Spoonflower typically taking 1-2 weeks to deliver an order all crafters and sewing enthusiasts out there are planning their projects now so that everything is ready be worn for their family pictures on July 4th. Wishing you all a happy month of May!
