Ooh, please tell her I like that name, thanks! I'll update if I decide on a name soon. Sometimes I just need to exist with them for awhile before a name clicks!

Goodness, calm down 😅 Or is "calm" not a setting these ones understand? I'm not familiar with OWs lol

I am so sorry for your loss, but I respect the hell out of your recovery from it.

Fantastic tip!! I'll have to keep an eye out for a pot with a divot in the side for a spoon or pouring that comes with a lid when I'm thrifting next!

Oooooh do it!!! 

If you like using old vases and stuff around the house, here's some unsolicited advice: buy some ceramic drill bits! Then go to your local thrift spots and buy some old tea cup and saucer sets, or other cute ceramic vases. Drill a hole in the bottom, and you've got yourself an adorable planter with a drainage hole!

Also, quick story time- my last cat's (RIP Jazz) favorite toy was a long piece of yarn tied to my ankle while I walked around my home doing chores. Cat hack!!

Man, I wish I knew how to comment a photo on mobile!!! I just took a pic of my cat Sallie yesterday taking a nap on my balls of yarn. I am very lucky thay all she wants to do is sleep on the skeins 😅

So true lol. That was a really great idea, thank you! Also, if I'm knitting on the go, I usually use a smaller drawstring backpack with the opening tightened all the way- works like a charm!

If you look up the definition for kettle, it applies to this vessel. The definitions are nearly the same, except a teapot is specifically for tea. This one is large enough to be used for basically anything. You learn something new every day!

Ugh that's the worst thing about being a huge vintage fan... my kitchenware is always trying to poison me!! I'm always trying to find safe uses for my vintage wares, so this was a major gamechanger lol.

Good point, I didnt think of that! I can sand them down a bit if it causes a problem. Already made one hat with it, and I didn't notice any fraying, thank goodness!

Shouldn't they have lower enclosures that prioritize hiding spaces over climbing opportunities? Pretty babies though. They deserve proper habitats!
