Here's whats been happening on the fiber front. Above is some more lovely stuff from Kopec creations on Ebay. I really like her stuff, quality fiber and very nice colorways. I forgot what the top skein color was but the bottom one is Mardi Gra







Recently I have been reading a book about the Haida Gwaii Canadian Indians.
They have a facinating history and culture. The BF has a very cool book all about the village of Massett in the Queen Charlotte Islands. the book explains alot about how they would name thier longhouses and how a person can have several ceremonial names. Some houses were called names like "House always waiting for visitors" or "House that is always dark becuase no sun shines near there" They also gave people names based on events in thier lives. The man who lived in "House that is always dark becuase no sun shines near there" was appropriately called " Wants more summer light in his house"
One poor lady appaerntly had trouble getting a lid back on to a basket so she was called " Always drops basket lid and looses whats inside"
There was one name that made me do a double take though... "He who makes loud noise of unknown origin" I shit you not. Think about it... One social Faux Pax and it's your name for the rest of your life.
This got me to thinking of names for my house. "House full of sheep hair and loud screaming birds that throw food and poop on people" or
"House that never runs out of toilet paper" or " House where dandilions perplex man living there and make him most irritated"
"House of feathers and fiber and new bathroom" is a good one too.
