Tending Your Inner Garden: Working with the Cross Quarter Seasons to Nourish the Connection to Your Inner Garden
This e-book comes from an e-course of the same name that I taught a few years ago. In this book, you are guided to make a Celtic wheel, either stitched or paper, in which you can honor each of the cross quarter holidays. There are detailed instructions and a materials list that should be easy to follow.
* What are the cross-quarter holidays? These are the quieter holidays that mark the time of year equidistant between the solstices and equinoxes. I could say a lot more about how these are celebrated as Celtic holidays but you can look that up if you are interested. Some say these markers of the changing of the season were celebrated by the ancient Celts. Others say they were invented in modern day. I just love that they give us a chance to tune in, take quiet stock and reconnect to the seasons, to the earth and to our bodies.

Brief Introduction to Flip Dolls:
Flip dolls are two sided dolls, usually with a head and torso on each of two sides, and connected at the waist. They are two dolls in one! Usually there is a skirt covering one side of the doll, so that there is always one visible doll and one unseen doll, below the surface of the skirt. This mysterious, hidden side of the doll lends itself to many different storytelling options, especially stories exploring dualities (opposites or themes that have two sides.)
The flip doll lends itself to all sorts of personal storytelling, because of its two sides. This mini-book is the first in a planned series of mini-books and other offerings about flip dolls. This first one is more general but my plan is to write more specifically about types of flip dolls and give you the opportunity to learn about and make them.
