We have all 7 mustelids of the UK, as well as some of the things that make up their diets. Can you name them all?? And since this was inspired by blankets... should I make it a blanket? 👀 How to get involved with Feb Frost below! ⬇️
A close up showing an ermine stoat, sleeping pine marten, and swimming river otter, plus a frog, fish, and fruit slices. A close up showing an American mink, badger, pine marten, and weasel. There's also a rabbit, egg, fish, fruit slices, and bird.

I had some questions about if there will be a 2026 sticker calendar and the answer is yes!! I was hesitant because I have not even made 12 pieces this year 😭 so this one will have a mix of new and old 💚
Photo of stacks of calendar stickers, each one has an artwork and a small calendar layout underneath.
