better late than never

The cold I had recently really screwed things up, time-wise. I have so much laundry to do, and I am still feeling sort of exhausted from being ill (even on Thursday, my friend Sam asked me if I was getting a cold, but apparently this one is still lingering, and he could hear it in my voice), so Mother's Day was sort of a wash, as I was not able to shop properly for something for my mom.

Anyway, I am always getting her little things throughout the year, but I've been working on this, and I think she'll like it:



I dunno. It sort of feels like one of those things where I am giving her a crude crayoned drawing to put on the fridge door, but I think it turned out a lot better than I expected, since my printer's pretty old, and I am not exactly a digital-to-print expert. They're little pieces of Chicago, close to my heart.

that is so very awesome!

Where did you find a frame like that?

Thank you; that makes me feel better about gifting it to her.

I actually got this frame + another one in the same style but a single larger pane from a stepsister for birthday or Christmas some years back. Not sure where she got them, but they're neat. I have to use my metric allen wrench set to get the screws out so I can adjust the struts and glass pieces.
