Have we already finalized the #2026MMM line-up?
Yes.

A circular illustration of 19 colorful different species of invertebrates across various phyla (arthropods, cnidarians, echinoderms, sponges, mollusks, annelids, flatworms). Black arching text surrounding them reads “Celebrate Invertebrate Biodiversity”. They are illustrated on a light blue background.

You ever find two things combined and you never expected to and it is delightful? Thank you Thistle and Songbird Creations for my new crochet hook!

The Mirkwood Spider Magic the Gathering card is in the background of a crochet hook with a wooden handle. The wooden handle shows and engraved and painted spider influenced by the Mirkwood Spider artwork.
