The new year has brought a very big shift in my life. I shall soon be going to live with my son and daughter-in-law. This is a move they have wanted for several years - and which I have resisted - but this year (I pray) will benefit all of us. DIL has MS as well as severe pulmonary problems. Son has a hard time cooking, cleaning, maintaining the yard and holding down a full time job. They need help and despite my age and the attendant aches and pains, I'm in better health than they are.
I will no doubt continue to make dolls, but at a slower pace. I can't remember a time when I wasn't creating something, no matter how childish or unrecognizable. The following has become my mantra: "I will make things until I can't make things any more. This is what I do. This is who I am. I make things".
