Along with all of my stretched canvas collages these pieces are getting hung for a month long show here in Boston on Sunday, but I am not opposed to selling them and swapping them out for different pieces. Sunday morning they will be taken down from Etsy for a month and may not return. Mention show in the notes to seller and I will give you free shipping on any of these pieces. Frames are not included.

I was supposed to hang this show this afternoon but I decided to postpone it to Sunday that way I can have some help. I've got a cold and blee is teething and the weather is bad so the last thing I want is to drag a stroller full of art while wearing a baby around town and then hang pieces while hoping that she doesn't erupt. And she is sick herself on top of teething. Fun times!

In case you missed my earlier post I am going to mention the three of us walking in the Walk for Hunger on Sunday. Well, in reality Jon and I will be walking and blee will be hitching a ride. She may be teething but walking is one of the few things that makes her feel better.

Hope you have a better Friday than we are having and a kickin weekend filled with good weather.

I'm still here


first illness - seven months old

We're still here, getting by each day. Little blee is sick for the first time and it has been hard on all of us. Especially at night. Saturday night was rough and I am really hoping that today goes better. Since her big problem is congestion and a cough she needs to be upright as much as possible so that means an extra lot of me wearing her. I'm very glad that I got this carrier back from the friend I loaned it from because it is simply the best for long snuggly carries. It has structure combined with long soft wrap straps. Perfection.

My friend is getting out of the hospital tomorrow afternoon, a day later than scheduled but we are just happy he is coming home. He was able to eat for the first time in a week! They removed all the cancer that they could see and we are praying that the chemotherapy will take care of the rest. It is going to be a rough ride and I am hoping to do as much to help them as possible. One thing is for sure is I won't let them near blee until she is 100% well because he can't afford to get sick right now.

On a more positive note I have a show lined up at a local cafe. Not just a local cafe, but my favorite cafe. mmmmm curried hummus and veggie sandwich... mmm popovers, yes the place where the popover obsession came from. I will be hanging my collages and some framed prints the beginning of May for a month. I'm going to try and arrange some sort of opening with them. I'm also thinking about doing a large print and a large canvas collage to draw attention to the whole shebang. Break up all the smaller works with something big(ish) and bold. We'll see if I can actually pull it off. Regardless I've been a productive gal over the years and have a lot of work to pick from but will be focusing on more recent stuff.

A great thing about these mixed-media pieces on canvas is that I don't need to frame them and this saves me hassle and more importantly money.

Time to wind down, eat dinner and hopefully go to bed early. We have There Will be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis rented, but I am not sure if I am in a good head space for that right now.

Goodnight and good morning.
