why this mama is not a professional model

I whipped up this appliqué t-shirt before heading off to my 25th college reunion (yes - yikes! - I'm that old!) and got a few compliments, which was very nice. It was also very cool to discover the number of women among my classmates who own chickens. We are a pretty amazing bunch.



I think the difficulty in getting good photos of my recent handmades is due in part to Mr. Summer Sun and partly to Mother Nature - he's flying so high in the sky these days that the light comes in at a very high angle, when it comes in directly at all thanks to her wonderful shady leaf coverage around the house. Of all the problems a mama could have, this one is pretty darn insignificant. Photos can wait.
