I have no idea how to write words of remembrance for a woman I never met, never spoke to, never directly interacted with, who lived half-a-world away, and whose life (and her husband’s) was tragically cut short. I knew I wanted to say thank you in some way (beyond contributing for her children), but I [...]

Please pre-order and join the mailing list to receive release day goodies (many for free). This book includes my design, Ben [...]
Hi. I'm Penny. I love penguins, books, yarn, stationary, and muddy trail running. Not necessarily in that order and not always every day. I keep a vegetarian, gluten-free, and kosher kitchen. Many of the meals I make are vegan but I won't hate you if you eat meat.
I post weekly about one of my interests and feature photos of my slightly neurotic but everso cuddly cat Shadow on Fridays. More random postings occur at penguingirl's tumbling thoughts.
