I make Christmas tree skirts and ornaments for the most part. Kinda
funny considering that I don't consider myself christian! I put up a
solstice tree instead. I also do other non-holiday fabric stuff like
scrunchies and decorations and such. I have a loom and will get around
to weaving eventually - probably this year if we get heat int he
basement.

Isn't Brigid the Celtic Goddess of craftspeople? If I'm wrong, does
anyone know a good mythology website? <g>

According to the page on Celtic mythological figures at
<http://www.cybercomm.net/~grandpa/celtic.html>:

Brighid (Brigit)
(Gaelic) Brighid was the goddess of fertility, therapy, metalworking,
and poetic inspiration. She is the wife of Bres. She is known as
Caridwen (Cerridwen) in Wales. There are three sisters by the name of
Brigit in Irish myth (daughters of In Dagda) who are the
patron-goddesses of learning (poetry), healing and smithcraft.

The Encyclopedia Mythica at <http://www.pantheon.org/mythica.html>
looks like a really interesting place to wander around, though I
haven't done much of that yet myself.
