Tiny House Crochet

[susandennis]

I have the day out before me. Plenty of food in the house. No one wants or needs me to do anything. I have new yarn to crochet and a tiny house to build and a good book to listen to while I do it. My never-get-too-comfortable brain says this would be a perfect day for an earthquake!

Oh and I also have a little sewing/mending repair work to do. So... way too busy for an earthquake.

It really is a luxury to have all this time and entertainment and have it in a clean and tidy house.

I got Zoey a really nice looking tall scratching post. For the living room. And she loves it. And she's loving it to an early grave. I think I can give it a little more life with some glue gun work but it's not going to last as long as it should for the price. And the one that will last forever isn't as nice looking. Sigh.



Of course, the real nirvana cat furniture is still the bowl perch that my neighbor across the street has. Their cat loves it. I can find it nowhere. It's simple and sleek and attractive. All I can find is heavy and big, wide, gray and covered in fluffy gray carpeting. The search goes on.

I keep getting distracted by internetty things like the dog in the movie Up... squirrel!!

So here I go getting dressed/hanging up my wet swimsuit/getting started on my day.

Based on the title of this entry, I thought you were going to announce that you were going to crochet a miniature version of your new blanket for the Tiny House, and I was going to be so impressed! Making the Tiny House and the blanket are very impressive on their own, but now I just really want to see that blanket thrown over the back of the tiny couch...

hahah crochet a blanket for the couch... it could happen. maybe.

Well now I'll definitely have to keep following closely, to see if a little tiny crocheted blanket ever appears. I'd definitely consider that one of the more amazing things I've ever seen. I guess you'd maybe have to use thread instead of yarn, because the yarn would probably be too big... Maybe it would really be a tatted blanket...

i am so excited about your tiny house build! =D more pictures! more documentation! please?!

Hi Susan. I have just found your blog. I was searching for ‘imodium’ because I ate some rubbish last night and found you. Fascinating glimpse into everyday life. You are spinning your wheels like we all do, doing a great job of managing your condition. Maybe a step further? Have you ever tried meditation?

When Zoey has done her job, wrap the base tightly in sisal rope. Hot glue liberally at both ends and she will love it!

All these posts need more tiny house progress pics! Lol.

I also vote for a wee little blanket to jazz up the tiny couch.

Also, not cheap but awesome quality cat stuff can be found here:

They make great stuff, and donate to a great cause with part of each sale.

Is it like this?

I was just curious what it might even look like. The results I got ran a wide gamut from this to the things you described to these weird beds that looked like sperm.

[susandennis]

no. it's a rattan and wooden bowl atop a tall scratching post.

I guess asking the across-the-street neighbor where they got their cat bowl would kind of tip them off that you're watching them, so that option is probably off the table.

[susandennis]

Oh I don't mind tipping them off but I've got no way to do it. I have no idea who they are. I don't even know their unit number and it's an apartment so no clues in county tax records. There is also no concierge in the building and it's card access only. I got nuthin'.

Actually from your description it sounds like it might be home-made.

I'm sure you checked but Etsy has some interesting cat trees.

[susandennis]

yep i check there often and you are correct.
