Get Back to Work, Shan!

While I may not be at the production level I was at up to a couple of months ago, I am able to finish orders and ship them in a timely manner once more.

I missed you, Copper.

I can't wait to show you what has come from my anguish.
I know, that sounds odd, but beautiful things can be born from darkness.
And there is nothing like a hammer in the hands of a woman scorned.

  9. Good! Channel all those emotions into your work and you won't believe what can come out of it! You will get through this and you'll come out an even stronger person for it! ::hugs::

  10. :-) I always make my customers laugh when they buy hammered silver items from me. I tell them there's nothing like bashing silver to get rid of tension. Some people knead bread to get the same effect, one customer confided that she "power vacuums" when she's cross (I don't think I could ever be that annoyed ...!)
    Really look forward to seeing what you make, Shannon.

  11. This is very good news, Shannon! You look great, and so in-charge! A hammer helps, of course! A girl can wham, bam, and biff away a lot of frustration! (I used to read a lot of comic books) Can't wait to see the creativity that has been born from the "new woman within"!

  25. Isn't it great to be able to vent all of your frustration and angst by pound the daylights out of something, get a decent upper body workout and wind up with something outright beautiful that can make you money afterward to boot? *g*

  27. "And there is nothing like a hammer in the hands of a woman scorned."
    This has to be one of the best blog statements I've read in a long time!
    You are obviously a survivor, and, as always, an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your beautiful self.
