Last Saturday was the wedding shower for my niece (She's getting married June 23). It was given by all niece Jessica and the rest of the bridesmaids and was in NJ at Desi's new home.
I drove my Mom down there and of course getting thru Philly to get to NJ was horrible with traffic (took 35 minutes to get 4 miles on the Schuylkill Expressway - also called the Shore-Kill!) Anyway - we got there 10 minutes late but everything was okay - Desi wasnt' back yet - some of her bridesmaids took her out to get make-up done so the rest of them could decorate and get everyone and everything together.
It was a nice day with lots of food and lots of visiting. She has an adorable house (wonderful for being only 25!) and has a great start to her new life! Here are some shots from the day
Actually this is from the night before - Quentin was helping me package Desi's gifts - I found these gift bags with zippers for only a couple of dollars (reusable too!) so I'm surprised when Desi opened her gift he didn't pop out!)
Desi arriving at her shower...
My sister in law (Desi and Jess's Mom) with my other niece (Desiree's sister) Jessica (who was just "pinned" a few months ago and now is an RN at University of Penn)
My pics of her opening the gifts didn't come out because the sun was so strong but this is the "hat" they made with what bows they could scrounged up! She didn't want to put it on but eventually did and then had fun with it!

So this week I finally was able to do some stitching and whipping - these little mats and pillows I had hooked over a month ago for the PHM update but was unable to finish them because of my hand/wrist - Anyway - I had to work Thursday/Friday/Saturday at the co-op and it was pretty slow - so i got everything stitched into mats and pillows. These little prim mats have gone to live at the Cinnamon Stick and hopefully will find new homes from there!
On the kitty front - Look how big Quentin has gotten - This was a few hours ago - he was picking on Jonesy
Guess Riley gave him a talking to for picking on his brother...
Riley was "talking" to me asking for more treats...
Like I said - not much going on here. I'm hoping to get back to hooking on the rug for Desiree's wedding gift this week and hoping to load up the car with all my bags (wonder if there will be room for me?) and head west later this week! It's been a while since I've been able to go out so hoping nothing comes up!
Hoping your week is great!
