He said he was 6 inches tall. Guess he was rounding up and didn’t think I’d notice. Ruler doesn’t lie.

When I read through The Borrowers I made a reference list of items the Clock family borrows and uses:

(Keep in mind that this book is from the 1950's, so a lot of these things aren't kept in homes anymore)

sewing needles

pencils

match boxes as drawers

cigar boxes as bedrooms, with the embellishments as wallpaper

matches, as firewood

sealing wax, used as glue

hair pins

drawing pins

safety pins

thimbles, used as pots

hat pins

miniature book volumes, some with readable text in them and others are blank

scraps of letters for wallpaper

stamps as decorative portraits

blotting paper, as carpet, that needs to be replaced every so often

chess pieces as sculptures

mustard pot to hold fuel

cogwheel as a fireplace, and an inverted brass funnel like a chimney

(see this image, the fireplace on the right. it also shows most of the items on this list)

they scrape off bits of bar soap to use for themselves, even having different scent preferences

kids gloves used to make shoes

blackheaded pins and darning needles used as knitting needles, with silk and cotton to act as yarn

turren as a bath

lacquer trinket box as a settle

manicure scissors as scissors

Cheese graters, cash box lid, pierced zinc old meat safe, wire fly swatter > all used as protective gates in the walls

hair pins and safety pins used as clasps and locks on those grates.

doll chinaware as tea cups, but often big enough to be a mixing bowl instead of a teacup

(On that note, their soup bowl is once described as being knee-high when placed beside them)

I can't find what this one is, but a borrower was after a "liver pull" on a mantle shelf

jet beads as buttons

bristles from a doormat used to make brushes

cotton spools as stools

a sliced hazelnut shell as a cup

keychains as decor

rings as crowns

perfume bottle caps as oil lamps

doll furniture

aspirin bottle lid, as a pot

acorn and bone thimble as cheaper teacups

surgical bandages as towels

nametape on the pin heads to aid climbing

a wristwatch to use as a timer

eyebrow comb as a hair comb

Helped him get in the tree, but he kept protesting saying he didn’t need my help. I think I am forgiven though.

Comfy hand lounging

One again my hand is taken by this little guy. Guess he’s taking a liking to me. I’m flattered, but can’t get any work done >.<

At least he’s in my non-dominant hand this time.

If I fits I sits

Little man found my holiday mug collection and had a little fun sitting in them. Cute, but now I need to re-wash them >.<
