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.

Walk For Hunger begging!


teething sucks

Not really, but donations would be appreciated.

Time got away from us and suddenly Boston's Walk for Hunger is only two days away! The three of us will be walking. Well, blee won't be doing too much walking but she will be hitching a ride on my back, hip or front.

This is a very good cause and we would love it if you donated to Team Swinghammer. She may be teething but walking is one of the few things that makes her feel better.

Thank you.

Here is some cuteness for your viewing pleasure.





My artwork is nearly ready to be hung tomorrow afternoon. I just hope blee cooperates and lets me get over there and hang my work and that the cafe provides some sort of help to a mother juggling a teething baby while attaching artwork to wires. I'm nervous.

Jon and I enjoyed First Thursday here and JP, saw some art, drank a wee bit of wine and had a bit of good food. And I got some shinies for mother's day! I'd like to see her try and yank these out! On second thought maybe not.

Oh, and guess who turns eight months today the 2nd?

Good evening and good morning. The weather here is rainy and awful, blee is teething so bad we actually saw a touch of blood around her new tooth on Sunday night. We looked it up and it is perfectly normal, but still hard to take.

Despite this I am doing a lot better this week. It was a hard weekend and this week is looking to be no better, but I feel like I am ready for it. I have a lot of work to do for my show which I hang on Friday and my creativity is actually starting to come back to me. In fact after I finish this post I am going to get back to carving this new block I started on Friday. It is nearly complete.

I also realize that since having my darling highly photographed daughter I've pretty much stopped taking pictures of the animals. The cat is a bit more social than the dog so he is easier. Maeby doesn't like blee at all and only makes it into photographs with her by accident. But despite this lack of photographing we still love our animal buddies. Even if Maeby is stubborn and a bit on the slow side and Laguna likes to walk up and down the hallway screaming as soon as we put blee down. I'm pretty sure he does this just to piss Jon off. But he has been part of my life for nearly ten years now and I love the little punk.

My mom's group meets tomorrow at 10am and I should be able to make it, but I don't know about the lunch after the meeting. I had to skip that part last week because blee was too fussy and needed to come home to eat and nap. And I have a feeling that is going to happen again. She just can't stay out and sleep in the carrier like she used to. She needs to nap at home and while she is getting better at it she still often goes down fighting. Getting overly tired and flipping out. I've started writing down what times she tends to nap so I can pick up the pattern of when this kid needs to be home to sleep. It is not easy but in the long run it will be better because hopefully this means she is on her way to sleeping in her crib instead of just on me, the bouncy chair, the swing and now the Pack n Play.

new block!

For being so wonderful. Please bear with me while I deal with a teething baby that fusses all day and doesn't sleep well at night. I'm trying hard to keep up with everything and am struggling. Right now my online activities including blogging, Etsy and blog reading are suffering the most. Since I end up wearing her most of the day I generally need to keep moving. I try to catch up on reading blogs at night but am often too fried to comment. I'm a bit of a lurker these days.

I don't know how I pulled it off but I managed to not only print out some thank you cards but I also finally Gocco printed some Moleskines. Sketchbook and graph paper. Didn't intend to do graph paper but Jon got some by mistake and I didn't notice until it was too late. All done while wearing miss blee! except for the new stamp I carved

I hope tonight goes better than last night and that Tuesday is better than Monday. Ugh!

I've also done my first week of cloth diapering during the day. Jon is the night shift so for now this is weekday only but it is going pretty well. It is a lot easier than I thought it would be.
