about me

Being creative is part of my life.   Sharing it with other people is another important part of my life. 

I learned to knit and crochet from my grandmother. She took care of me when my mum was working.   I remember her big box full of buttons : I played a lot with it when I was a little girl. Sorting them out according to size and colour... Seems I still love doing that !

This is me.

The cat.  She thinks of herself as 'the princess'

I have realized that knitting has endless meditative aspects and is an incredible way to feel accomplished, maintaining a lineage of art, and especially giving gifts from the heart.

I've been a teacher for some 18 years now.   My pupils are aged between 12 and 18.  

I really enjoy being around young people.  They keep me young !  According to my husband and sons, I sometimes forget that I am not a teacher at home,  they say I like bossing everybody around - haha.   But I have to take my stand around these 3 men.
