One of my neighbors became the "grandmother" of a baby chick. One of her hens turned out to be an excellent mother, sitting on her egg faithfully and lo and behold, 20-some days later, it hatched! My neighbor was so excited!
I thought it would be fun to throw a shower for her, to mark the occasion.
I have had this farm print fabric in my stash for years. I matched it up with some scraps of this and that, and made an apron for my neighbor.
The gifts were: a Chicken magazine, the apron, a few empty egg cartons, and a little bag of corn scratch for the new mother hen. Here's hoping the chick will be a hen (not a rooster) and lay lots of eggs someday!
