who the heck am I?
what exactly is "cuci cuci coo" supposed to mean?
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!"
now where did I see that before?

Hi! I regularly visit your blog and I always like your ideias. I loved this necklace, but I don't have that book. As I live in Portugal, I doubt I can find it in a bookstore and look what other projects it features. Could you tell me if it is a good purchase and some other fun stuff we can do based on it? I don't want to buy it on amazon just because of one necklace, despite its cuteness :) Thanks!
too soon? Not at all! Time flys!
the neclace is gorgeous, is a lovely present!
I have a craft book from the 70s that is have this idea of covering paper boxs with fabric to make present's cages, in the picture is beautiful, but I didn't try it yet!
I hope you both are doing ok!!
Oh my! The necklace is absolutely astonishing! This is such an exquisite gift for Christmas! Your friends are lucky!
thanks all!
@sabi: i live in italy, so i can't find these things in stores here, either, which is why i'm always ordering from amazon.co.uk. i think the book is pretty interesting and has a lot of good projects, though some use novelty yarns which aren't exactly easy (or cheap) to find. it's also important to look on the publisher's website for pattern corrections (http://www.storey.com/correct_book.php?isbn=9781580176880). there was a small correction to the necklace pattern. go look at the book on amazon and you can do "look inside" to see some of the other projects.
@papgena: the box idea sounds fabulous, too, and very simple to reuse. thanks for sharing!
@maya: i'm also currently working on the melon seed necklaces, which i will post when i'm done! :)
Thank you for the answer and your nice comment on my blog :) I didn't know we could take a peek in books via amazon, but i'll do that.
