This year has been a beautiful one. I painted. I made dolls. I gardened...a lot. So much peace comes from being outside in nature, and it is a big part of what made the year feel so beautiful. I was outdoors for countless hours creating beds, mowing paths to reduce my lawn, planting seeds and just planting in general. I put in dozens of trees, shrubs, and flowers. I even put in a mini orchared with apple trees, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. I studied permaculture and learned about rewilding, trying to apply those practices into my yard. I cannot wait to see how it all looks next year.
I put together a a video showing all the art from 2023. Many of the dolls were actually made in 2022, but I never shared them until this year. And below is my favorite photo this year from all the ones taken of my garden.
I hope you have a wonderful and Happy New Year!
