The mat is beautiful! You know, here in Portugal, people used to do mats and blankets with fabric strips woven on a loom (back when my grandmothers were young, in 1920's to 1950's) then they stoped do it. But when I see what can be done, I think my grandmothers would be amazed with these thecniques.
The title of this blog is a bilingual play on words that probably nobody will ever get, so I may as well just explain it. The cuci cuci part is up to interpretation, either from CUCIre (sew) and CUCInare (cook) or the command "Sew, sew!" You pronounce cuci "COO-chee," so I added the English coo to make it what you say to babies while tickling them: "Coochie coochie coo!"

wow, i'm sure mats made out of loom-woven fabric would be gorgeous! this technique isn't totally perfect, but it does make an interesting end product!
