island

The word island comes from Middle English iland, from Old English igland (from ig, similarly meaning 'island' when used independently, and -land carrying its contemporary meaning; cf. Dutch eiland ("island"), German Eiland ("small island")). However, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century due to an incorrect association with the etymologically unrelated Old French loanword isle, which itself comes from the Latin word insula. Old English ig is actually a cognate of Latin aqua (water).

crafty party

On Sunday, December 5, Studio Dawson hosted its first-ever crafty party.
One of the many exciting results of this event is a pair of sexy handsocks lovingly crafted by Ean using one of Brigitte's cushion sweaters.
