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.

Yes, I'm peekin' at your shelves.

I agree, it looks great - after factoring in the close to your heart sentiment, I have to say - you rock.

Say, that book one over from the left - is that where you got the pic you used with this post?

Nope. The illustration in my icon is drawn by Brett Helquist, who does the illustrations for the Lemony Snicket books. That image was on his portfolio website for a while, so I snagged it cropped it down to icon size. I love his stuff.
