Heather Gordon recently returned from the Newfoundland Rug School where she taught a class on Welcome Rugs. She had a fabulous time and brought back this “Little” tale.
Although I like to think I am unique, my name isn’t. I realize I’m not the only Christine Little in this world, I Googled it and saw how long the list was. Others share my moniker, or perhaps I’m sharing there’s, but I’ve never met another Christine Little although I have heard there’s one a province away. Like me, she is also a rug hooker and is a director of the Newfoundland guild. A couple of years ago I received a phone call when someone confused the two of us and at that time I didn’t know of her existence so I was a bit puzzled.
While at the Newfoundland rug school, a woman saw Christine Little on a person’s name tag and mistook her for me. She said, are you Christine Little? The woman replied “yes” and the confusion began. The woman gushed that she was a big fan of my Facebook page and my website, loved my designs and so forth, so this other Christine, aware of my existence knew immediately she was referring to me. Newfoundland Christine told the gal several times that she was not Nova Scotia Christine. The woman didn’t believe her.
She proceeded to say lovely things, was so happy to meet me and then she asked the other Christine to sign her program. After insisting several times that she wasn’t me, she finally gave in and signed the woman’s paper. The signature was correct no matter which one of us penned it, so all is well, no harm no foul.
What a fun “Little” story! To the lady who was so pleased to meet me even if it was someone else, I am totally flattered.
