IT’S A BRAW, BRICHT, MOONLICHT NICHT, THE NICHT.

Hi there

Thanks for popping in. It’s a waxing Crescent Moon tonight. Look out for it…

During this Moonphase, the lit-up part of the Moon increases from a weeny sliver of 0.1% to 49.9%. Waxing means that it is growing, and crescent refers to the curved shape. Traditionally, the thinnest sliver of the Waxing Crescent Moon is considered the New Moon. And in case you were wondering, the next Full Moon is on 1st August. It is a Supermoon, also referred to as a Sturgeon Moon. Supermoon? When the Moon is closest to the Earth it is called a lunar perigee. And if the lunar perigee occurs very close to a full Moon, then we see what is known as a Supermoon. Fascinating really.

I took a break from TV and Youtube prepping today, to clear my noddle, and created a waxing crescent moon…

Did you know that the word ‘month’ actually takes its root from the Moon. A month was originally understood to be either 29 or 30 days, roughly equal to the 29.5-day cycle of the lunar phases. Some of our calendar months were later extended with extra days, so that 12 months would make up one complete 365-day solar year. Aha!!

The Silver Birch stamps here I drew many, many moons ago. We retired them actually, but several customers have enquired after them inrecent months, so they are making a comeback ! We’ve brought them up to speed, improved them and changed them into 2-way overlays. So cool to use now, and so much more versatile !! In fact, I’ll request that they get loaded onto the website tomorrow, and even included in the Members’ Half price sale. We won’t have even made the new version yet, but if you’re happy to wait, I’m happy to include it in the sale. Check in on the website tomorrow…

TIme to stop for the day.

When I gaze at the moon, my mind is quiet.

Love always,
