I hope you are all safe after the storm last night! We escaped the snow here but Lupin and I found some on our walk up tue hill. We also found this little mouse wrapped up warm in their new scarf.

Have you looked outside to seen the moon? Isn’t it beautiful! The full Wolf Moon is tonight.
The Northland Small paused on their journey to their new home to stop and look and let out a quiet howl of joy to the North Wind. Perhaps you might like to join them with a little howl too?

The northlanders are beginning to gather to return home after their winter festivities. There will be a collection for Imbolc but I’ve put this one up on the new collection just now, to break the jinx of the first sail of the year!

And today is Lupin’s birthday! For those who watch my instagram stories you’ll see him most days rolling around and zooming. He’s a lurcher - whippet poodle cross but never grew his rough coat, preferring his puppy one! Happy birthday Lupin, we love your sensitive daft routine loving soul. Xx

*Happy Birthday to Celestine and the Hare* 12 years ago today, I set up an etsy shop and a Facebook page while still teaching full time wondering if I might sell the odd creature or two. Never imagined you could make a living selling telted animals. Ha how wrong | was.
