Today is the first day in my Doll Studio; Art Dolls by Karen, where I will resume rooting on two dolls that I reborned this past Winter.
On the first day of Spring, I leave the studio and step into the gardening world. It is another passion of mine for the past 28 years.
When I started reborning dolls, which became a wonderful awakening to my passion for art, I did not want it to take away my love for gardening.
Once I got gardening down to where I was being rewarded with an abundance of vegetables, I had to learn the art of canning.
Reading is another love of mine that I have always indulged in every since I was a child. I slept on the bottom bunk and my sibling on the top. In order for me to read at night, I would pull the covers over and read underneath by flashlight. I still read this way today; not under the covers, but always at night in my bed before sleep.
Keeping my passions close; a book always in my bed and my collection of dolls by my side in a cradle, I am blessed. To have the time and health enjoying these passions, the blessing is twofold. This is my world and hopefully it will remain this way for many more years to come.
"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."
