😂 you got this. We almost need a hashtag/support circle for all the crafters furiously creating something they hope will be loved by an almost-stranger in two-and-a-bit weeks.

Incidentally, sales from this month have funded the purchase of 2 possum traps for our bush.

That protects our ngahere and the manu who live there, including kiwi.

I'm grateful your cats like the catnip that grows here too.

It's also handy timing with all the consumerism. But at the end of the day, it's nature.

I've washed out the harvesting buckets, and I'm about to go find the strings I re-use each year. Harvest starts tonight.

Hah, I am felting a collection of things and I still don't know if I'll finish it, or go WAY beyond the plan 🤣

Amazing how I can be inside felting-and-binging-Netflix, or going down an Instagram hole, and nature's just out there, growing.

Also, the chia seed has started growing! I didn't think my plan of "dump seeds from a supermarket packet under a soda bottle secured with a stick" would work to keep them safe from the chooks... but apparently it has!

Here you go. I rate their rat traps too. I find these ones work best mounted on trees/posts.

Yeah, I don't love being out there in the midday sun, but I enjoy being at home haha.

It's not impossible this goes beyond the plan, but at the moment I'm planning to stop at 100% 😅 it does have to go out before December 5...

This one comes in sugar-free, in case that is relevant to your interests.

That's some shocking marketing by an otherwise pretty solid outfit. Be interested to know whose algorithm decided to feature that book.
