Look, shiny! That's some new work, of which I have a relatively small amount considering how much free time I have right now. And now what news is this!? I'll be re-opening Sparrow Salvage and Fagin's Daughter as of tomorrow! Hooray!
I've changed my blog and shop banners, I felt like a wee make-over given the circumstances. Some of you will rejoice to hear I'm returning a little to my previous styles, though in a new colour scheme. I want to bring some of the antique elegance back to my shop and combine it with the raw pieces recently made. I've really missed not having the shops, and though my postage will be sparse (once a week only) that should clear up in about a month and we can return to our regularly scheduled program. I hope to re-open my art shop in a few weeks too, I've been wanting to do some more work in that line recently, and offer some new photographic prints.
Thank you so much to everyone who left a comment on my previous post- and to those of you who have sent me Etsy convos and emails, wishing me well, praying, encouraging the healing process and generally being supportive. It has meant so much to me. Thank you. I am not exactly a whole person again but I'm getting stronger every day; right now I have the average vitality of your typical 80 year old, but that's an 80 year old who can now walk to the shops and cook her own dinner! Although I can't carry anything and need to make sure dinner won't take longer than 20 minutes... it's still something. OH how I have missed cooking my own dinner. Life is in the details.

Yippee!!!!! I am so excited that you are back. I have missed all of your shops and seeing your beautiful work. These new pieces are gorgeous I love the serene elegance and beauty combined with rustic textures in your new work. The world is a much better place with Sparrow in it. xo!
*hugs* So happy to hear you're still on the mend and ready to start back into the swing of things :) I was spelunking through the archives of all your sold items at your etsy shops a little while ago and marveling over all the fantastic treasures that have found new homes already. Good to see you're getting back into making more :)
Oh please do bleat on like it's some kind of free therapy session!! It is and we're all here for you! Nothing makes me happier then seeing this brave Phoenix rise!!
Oh how will I sleep tonight waiting for the grand re-opening of your fab shops!

I'm thrilled to see a post from you, and even more thrilled to know you are opening your shops again! Oh how I missed your lovely creations!
I'm also glad you are improving, even if it is baby steps.
Healing thoughts sent to you from the California coast. Your a brave and courageous warrior.
Wonderful to hear you are improving and that you are able to get your shop up and running again. I look forward to seeing your creations.

So happy to hear from you and especially to hear you continue to mend and recover. Such good news. And you have started to create again - now that really says recovery to me...

Please, take good care of yourself. You're a delight. :)

Really digging your new work lady.
Hey Penny, I have admired your art/work for some time but haven't been by in awhile so I'm catching up. So sorry to hear all you've gone thru and if I may, I'm wondering how your Mom is? I read all I could but did not see this information, forgive me if I missed it ... all the very best, I'll be checking in more often.
