"Missing in Action"

I am so long overdue for an update here after being absent from my blog for 5 months ... where or where does time go? I've been rather busy of late with rughooking. A couple of pieces are in the works and when completed I will certainly try to remember to post pics of these!! "Try" being the key word here. Just too much on the go. The first Tuesday of each month (winter months) Marielle hosts a "hook in" in Grande Digue. I am on site there as well giving my limited advice/experience as a novice "hooker". This is a very relaxed and informal venue ... if you want to give rug hooking a whirl, contact me via e-mail ...

I also joined forces with Marielle Poirier during her atelier at the Journee de la femme event a Notre Centre de Grande-Digue (Institut feminin District Richard). Marielle gave her intro to rug hooking talk as I hooked on site. We had a combination of our works for students to view in a make shift gallery!! A great group of ladies were on hand for a very informative and interactive day.

For those of you who understand and read the French language here is a poem to honor women on Womens Day ...

FEMME

L'autre sexe te dit mysterieuse,
incomprehensible, secrete, enigmatique,
capricieuse, meme ... douillette!

Oui! Et ... dramatique, comique,
passionnante, attirante, sympathique,
charmante, dynamique et accueillante.

Egalement sociable, serviable dans un mot:
incomparable!

Il faudrait surtout leur dire qu'ayant porte le
monde avec son corps et son coeur la femme
d'une complexite feconde est surtout sensible
telle ... une fleur.
