The Kappa In Japanese Folklore

  • Kappas are legendary creatures that inhabit the rivers and waterways of Japan. They have beaked noses, shells on their back and a depression on their heads that holds water. Kappa are mischievous troublemakers. Their pranks range from the relatively innocent, such as loudly passing gas or looking up women's kimonos, to the more troublesome such as drowning swimmers and eating children. They feed on their victims by sucking their liver though their anus. They love cucumbers and if you write your name on a cucumber and throw it in the river, the kappa may be appeased by your gift and allow you to swim in peace.

Cotton Friend and Linen on Sale

Pretty snappy title, huh? I was reading advise on getting new readers to your blog, and one suggestion was interesting titles. I think this is probably the best I'm going to do.

I've been keeping an eye on Superbuzzy for the summer edition of Cotton Friend and this morning my geeky Japanese craft book loving heart actually gave a small jump to see it's in stock.
Summer 2008 Cotton Friend
She also has the new Cotton Time and I struggled a bit over which to order. Cotton Friend seems to focus a bit more on clothing though.

Joann Fabrics has linen on sale for 60% off starting today until June 14th. I bought a bunch when it was 50% off, but I could always use more, especially at that price. I thought 50% was a bargain.
