When I cleaned out my workroom I discovered a lot of unfinished projects...this is one of them...it's made with felted wool - my new favorite material to work with...je taime, of course, means I love you in French....I showed this to the mister, who took French in 9th grade -and asked him if he knew what it said.....he said...."Jet - aim - EEEE?" I discreetly laughed. He tried again....mangled it some more and when he couldn't guess what it said I told him and he had the nerve to tell me that I was wrong.....so, being somewhat insecure in my embroidered French....I went on-line to the French to English Dictionary and looked it up...with him looking over my shoulders....and when I pointed out to him that ...1. I WAS right and ....2. He WAS wrong....he told me, somewhat apologetically that he only had TWO years of French... just when I thought he had left my workroom (aka the Nerve Center) he reappeared and made me pull up the dictionary again because he was having an "issue" with my pillow...He said, "It does not say "vous"" .... and he then had me look up "aimer" which means "be in love with" and then he said...."I rest my case" and he left....
