Den of the Celtic Kitsune

Knitting, restaurant reviews, social issues, and the general life and adventures of a kitsune of Celtic descent.

About Me

Name:

In Japanese folklore, kitsunes are believed to possess great intelligence, long life, and magical powers. Foremost among these is the ability to shapeshift into human form; a fox is said to learn to do this when it attains a certain age (usually a hundred years, though some tales say fifty). Kitsune usually appear in the shape of a beautiful woman, a young girl, or an old man, but almost never an elderly woman. Supernatural powers commonly attributed to the kitsune include, in addition to shapeshifting, the ability to generate fire or lightning from their tails or to breathe fire (known as kitsune-bi, literally "foxfire"), the power to manifest in dreams, the power to fly, and the ability to create illusions so elaborate as to be almost indistinguishable from reality. Some tales go further still, speaking of kitsune with the ability to bend time and space, to drive people mad, or to take such nonhuman and fantastic shapes as a tree of incredible height or a second moon in the sky. And that's just what I do every day. You should see what I do in my spare time....

Project Argyle, Figaro's Friday Blog, & the Shoe Invasion


Haven't had much time to blog this week because we've received two months of shoe samples which naturally must go onto the website in a week. Generally, I process, photograph, edit, and put up between 30-40 pairs a week, but I think it was closer to 80 this week at a rate of about 15 new pairs a day. Talk about overload. Lest you doubt, this is what my office has looked like for most of the week.





Due to the time constraints this week, I also haven't managed to add more than a few rows to the Project Argyle scarf, but here's the progress so far.




And finally, the weekly cat blog without any further chitchat. I'm hoping to post something more substantial next week.


Figgie displays some cute pink toes as he grooms. Don't you wish you were that flexible?
