So what do you do when you hurt your thumb and have a lot of pondering to do? Make a tiny matchstick chair of course 😂 This one is for a knitting shrew. I hope your coming week is full of small joys and the full moon and equinox gives you a nudge in courage to be your authentic beautiful self!

On the full moon when day and night are equal, when spiders spin their most beautiful webs and earth smells of summer’s end, fairy mice gather a few of those gossamer fine webs to spin blankets for their babies. If you go out early, with a quiet heart, you might catch a glimpse

Spoon carving badger was going to have a lovely scene with a log and axe but making the axe ended me up at minor injuries getting my thumb strapped up back together (oopsy) so here he is with no axe for now! Should heal in a week they said and no washing dishes till then, so that’s a silver lining!
