Yikes! Long time, no post...

Hi friends-- sorry that it's been such a long time without posting. I've been a very busy woman the past year or so, getting back into grad school for my masters in journalism and working an assortment of jobs to keep up.

But I definitely miss blogging about fun things like knitting, reading and the funny stories that happen to me. I plan to pick this blog back up shortly, but in the meanwhile, you can check out some of my other current projects:

-Marginalia This is where I blog for the graduate journalism program at Columbia College Chicago. It's a pretty sweet gig-- paid and everything. I have a lot of fun reflecting on the grad school experience. And there are always fun photos, too! 

-ChicagoTalks.org This is my other baby, right now. I am the proud editor of this neighborhood news site! I also contribute stories when I'm able. I cover a lot of education-related news. This semester, especially, I'm on the higher ed beat. Good times!

-Great Lakes Boating Magazine Who knew there was a magazine where I could geek out about the Great Lakes and edit to my heart's content? There is!

-Journalized Ah, another sad, sorely neglected blog of mine. At the moment, it is sparsely populated. But soon, it will be my portfolio website. And it will shine with content. Hopefully.

So, friends, I've been a busy lady. But you're not forgotten. As long as I still enjoy writing, I'll continue to keep a fun blog.

Thanks for your support!

Hello World!

Welcome, fellow adventurer, to the Tawny Sparrow! Come with me as I explore life’s mysteries and mundanities.  This travelogue is an endeavor of love—an online scrapbook, sketchbook, journal, and notepad. Please fell welcome to join in the conversation.

Here are some things I think I’ll write about (though one never knows for sure):

Matters of the Hearth: Crafts, Cloth, Cooking, and Home Making

Matters of the Intellect and Spirit: Thoughtful Little Musings about Literature, Philosophy, Dreams, and other interesting things

Matters of the World Around Us: Nature, Animals, the Spirit World, and Expeditions.

I am currently working a job in an admissions office at a small graduate education institution... though I have journalistic aspirations. I have other aspirations too, that I'll write about in another post perhaps. But welcome!
