Friday Dust Mite Blogging™ – Trivial Project Of The Day edition
When I got home from work tonight, I asked Silas what he thought Dust Mite should be doing when I took the weekly picture. He said that Dust Mite needed a tair. We didn’t have one, so I made one.
This chair is not exactly what you’d call fine furniture. I scrounged pieces out of my scrapbin and glued them together, with a few nails to peg the pieces together until the glue dried enough to stick everything together. It is made from finish plywood and maple from The Joinery, softwood samples from SCRAP, and wood salvaged from ripping apart an old spicerack that the best used to use in the kitchen in her apartment in NYC before she had a one night stand go terribly wrong.
Total construction time? About 4 hours, including 3 hours set up in clamps waiting for the glue to dry.
Why is the chair so short and stout? Well, Dust Mites don’t have tremendously long legs, so they don’t like climbing up onto tall chairs, and they don’t have much in the waist department, so they don’t so much sit on a chair as recline on it.
Dust Mite, reclining in the lap of luxury.

Dust Mite is a pretty fastidious little vermin. We clean it periodically when it gets a little bit too dirty. Right now the groovy girl dolls are the dirtiest dolls in the house; Pinata, Mona and the little nameless groovy girl minidoll I've got attached to the zipper pull on my purse all have pretty dirty faces from playing outside too much.

Wow. Dust mite has his own chair. How cool! But I must say, he looks suspicously clean and fluffy. Has he taken a bath? Been sent to the cleaners? Is he "new and improved"? Or did you send him away for an extreme makeover?
