An inspirational and informative illustrated guide to help you embrace each season and find peace, mindfulness and joy throughout the year. Illustrated throughout with newly commissioned sketches, prints and paintings by the author, Ebb and Flow introduces seasonal living and explains why it is increasingly vital for us to reconnect with the seasons. Tiffany Francis-Baker offers practical, science-backed advice demonstrating the mental and physical health benefits of practising mindful, seasonal living. Following the Pagan 'Wheel of the Year' through a nature-led calendar, Francis-Baker explains the origins of seasonal Pagan and Celtic names, traditions and events. She outlines the short- and long-term benefits of leading slower lives and encourages us to enjoy closer connections with nature and healthier relationships with our own well-being. Each section begins with an introduction to the season, then details what you can grow and forage, the wildlife you can spot and which seasonal behaviours to look out for. Crafts and seasonal activities demonstrate quick ways to stay connected with the seasons, even at our busiest times, and illustrated spreads explain lunar phases, hibernation, stargazing and more. With beautiful images, inspiring words and imaginative seasonal crafts, this tactile book has something to help everyone connect with the rhythm of the year and feel more grounded with nature.

Create beautiful, embroidered dolls with easy cross stitch patterns and simple sewing techniques. First, choose your doll from one of the 20 delightful patterns included, then stitch your front and back panels. Once completed, place the two pieces right sides together and sew around the outline, leaving a gap for turning. Turn it right sides out, stuff, sew up the gap and hey presto - you've made a dolly! This simple process means you can make a beautiful handmade doll with the minimum of skill or experience, creating a treasured heirloom that, if cared for, will last for generations. The 20 doll patterns include a wide range of skin tones, hairstyles and clothing with the option to change any of the colours to suit your own tastes. Additional patterns at the back of the book give further options for alternative heads and garments so you can customise the patterns and make your own unique dolls. Stitch them for yourself as little sewing room pals, or create them as gifts for people you love - they can't fail but charm everyone who sees them. The smallest doll is 10.5cm wide x 21.2cm high (4¼in wide x 8½in high) and the largest is 11.6cm wide x 23.4cm high (4½in wide x 9¼in high).
