i am the happiest auntie around - my beautiful niece, rebecca, tied the knot last friday evening in a lovely ceremony in spokane, washington. (btw, the groom's name is brad) everything was absolutely perfect, most especially the weather which was warm and sunny. after our never ending cold and rainy spring, i was figuring that it would be chilly and overcast but fortunately i was prepared with my aforementioned blue shrug! anyhoo, the weatherman cooperated and a gorgeous evening was had by all.
the only dreaded part of the experience was the 6 hour drive to and from but as a knitter i knew that i would have copious uninterrupted hours to knit so i can't complain!! many inches were added to my feather and fan shawl in progress! thank you to my niece, kelsie, who was the driver for the trip there and my hubby, who piloted the vehicle for the trip home!
here is a shot of the quilt that i made them as a wedding gift!
also a photo of my other nieces, liz and kelsie, who did a tremendous job with their duties as attendants!
fortunately i was able to come to the rescue of my niece, liz, at the rehearsal dinner when she was chilly - i just happened to have my mulberry shrug in my bag!! i haven't seen it since!! i did make her a deal though, if i get this one back, she can have the blue one for keeps!
once again, our rainy weather has returned! yahoo!!! i'm probably the only one who is happy about this situation but after two days of non-stop garden work, i needed a break and my plants are happy for a much needed drink of h2o. so....it is onward to my studio which is in a horrible state of disrepair after the last month of madcap wedding preparations!! keep on knittin' in the free world!
