Countdown to the Winter Solstice with activities, recipes and crafts. Come back each day for a new surprise! The doors won’t open until the correct day (So 1 opens on December 1st, on December 5th you’ll be able to open 1-5, etc.) The calendar includes a new exclusive excerpt from my Winter Solstice book that will only be available through this calendar and only in December 2024. It also includes four guest blogs from other talented makers!

I had so much fun with your solstice calendar last year, and I’m looking forward to this year. Currently the “Click Here” link isn’t active on the page; are you waiting until December 1? I’m planning on gathering supplies and sending to a friend so she can follow along, so I’m eager to get things to her before the calendar starts on Dec 1 if possible. I really enjoy your creativity and focus on the natural world. Thank you for sharing!
Yes sorry I should have put a note that the materials list wasn’t quite ready yet- it should be up in a few days!
I really enjoyed your 2023 countdown calendar and am looking forward to this one! I appreciate your focus on crafts that interact or reflect nature. The link to the materials list is not currently active. When will that be available? I’d like to collect materials and send to a friend so she can also follow along. Thank you!
I hope to get it finished in the next week or so- still trying to work out the bugs in the calendar. Thanks!

I love this idea and we would love to do it! Can you tell me how this works? Do we just come back to the page each day and then the days are open?
Thanks! Yes, starting on December 1st, when you click on the correct day a little door will open with an activity, recipe or craft to do and when you click it a second time a windown will open with the instructions. enjoy!
