Chickamauga resident Evelyn Wood is proving that it’s never too late to pick up and thrive in a new hobby.

A lifetime doll enthusiast, Mrs. Wood, 95, started making outfits for Barbie dolls several years ago. About 20 of her artistic creations have made their way into a display at the Chickamauga Public Library.

“I’ve loved dolls ever since I was a kid,” she said. “I have five sisters, and we all collected dolls.”
