Bus stop - weekend

Small-Bot thought about the girl at the bus stop all weekend.

He thought about her when he was cleaning.
He thought about her when he was cooking.
He even thought about her when he and Cat-Bot were relaxing.

He knits. He's my kind of man.

Cooking? Cleaning? Crafting? Small-bot is hot. He's totally my kind of guy ... though I fear its a bit late. He seems quite sweet on that girl (and is probably not in the market for a Wide-bot).

PS. I can't imagine what tiny scale you were knitting on. Its amazing!! I hope you had your glasses on!

Andi said...

Gotta love a male-bot who knits!!!

Emma said...

Oh I can't wait for the next installment. xxx Rebecca

Oh young love!

The knitting scene is my favourite so far - how wonderful when your antennae can double as a yarn winder - multi purpose at it's best. Hope Bus stop girl knows a good Bot when she sees one.

Annie said...

I wonder if he'd think about her if he was going on school camp?

trashalou said...

Can't get her off his mind? Hmmm ... Small Bot, perhaps it is simple old hormonal lust rather than true love?

CurlyPops said...

Small-Bot sounds like my perfect man. Do you have his phone number?

lily40au said...

Love that robot's life.

Tania said...

Um, Jod...Put me out of my misery will you? Small-Bot will eventually come over all romance-like and make a move, won't he? You have to make him make a move! Promise?

beck said...

Look out Small Bot, you have quite an array of admirers! You are everything a bot should be, and more. Is your dream girl worth it? Does she even know you exist? Or maybe there is someone closer to home who you may have overlooked? Hmmmmm.....xo

Lynne said...

Hey, for someone who doesn't knit, Bot's scarf is pretty impressive! Didn't get it from you, eh? LOL

ange_moore said...

Ooo - I love a man that knits! I can't wait to see what happens at the bus stop on Monday!

Simone de Klerk said...

They live in such a lovely cosey home too. So nice and cosey the two of them. A third one would really fit in, I would think.

clare's craftroom said...

I'm enthralled , can't wait to get to the next chapter .

Cass said...

Hopefully they will see each other at the bus stop tomorrow.

sue said...

Wow my favourite kind of bot, one who knits. I have been loving these posts, like reading a storybook isnt it.

Absolutely fabulous as always Jodie! The photo at the end with small bot using catbot's ears to wind his wool made me laugh out loud! I was trying to wind wool yesterday using Alfie-bunny's run thingummy but it didn't work and Dot had to stop doing her homework to help me.

Meanwhile we have been having some heated family discussions about whether to send Fred to Australia to live with you but although we were all very tempted by my clever idea of doing an exchange for Smallbot, we eventually decided that we would rather like to keep Fred here - although we nearly cracked when considering Smallbot's domesticity. Thank goodness I hadn't realised he could knit before I made my decision!

So clever, Jodie! The picture over the fireplace is adorable! And that vacuum cleaner is too cute. How does Cat-bot feel about all this?

Rumi said...

That Smallbot is a gem and a half! I have really been enjoying this story unfolding!

Noelia said...

Im agree with everyone, just AMAZING

I Purr-Furr to Craft said...

I think that Bus Stop girls antennae must be buzzing! all this talk around her, Small-Bot has all of us giving him encouragement to talk to her and ask her out. How about a take away cup of coffee while they wait for the bus?
On the edge of my seat here....

Griffin said...

Sigh! It's love, that's wot that is... sigh!

O Amore, O Girl Bot!

connie said...

I love your stories and photos. You must be having such a good time. Have you ever thought about creating children's books. These would be wonderful!!!!

pwl said...

I love your Bus Stop Series. And now, of course, I can't get the song out of my head. LOL

Farmyard Crafts said...

That's the most gorgeous yarn winder ever!! Yet again..genius!

mtnchild said...

Oh my, it just keeps getting better and better ... if Girl-bot was petting Cat-bot to get Small-bot's attention, then how does Cat-Bot feel now? I hope he is totally included in the plans these two Bots have in mind - - whatever that might be ...

Doily said...

oh Jode, You are making me do some very odd squealy/aww noises.
It's all in the props, bots house remeinds me very much of Paddington Bear's. Remember the time he wallpapered himself into the bedroom? Oh guffaw!
Ah, what I wouldn't give for that weekend loved/lusted up feeling right now! Go small bot! (but keep an eye on that cat bot, I'm noticing some chemistry there too!)

Robyn said...

Wonder what's happening today?
Will he see her again?
Is the scarf for her? :p
I want this book Jodie... and I adore your drawings and your adorable bots!
hugs

Diva Quilts said...

oh! Small-Bot and busgirl up in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g... :)

I love that Small-Bot is knitting... :)

RoLuc said...

Poor small-bot. I do hope it works out for them.

jojoebi said...

looks like love!
you should be making this into a book :o)

sarah said...

Oh Cat-bot, you are just too cute. If you ever fancy seeing the world you can come and live with me in London.

Michelle said...

Dearheart, you need to make this into a kid's book!

Unless it gets saucy, of course!

Leanne said...

I hope I'm not jumping the gun but I love a wedding.

I am loving this story. And the yarn around Catbots ears/antennae is brilliant!

CitricSugar said...

I love how each creation of yours is a fully-realized character, with a backstory and a future!

evalyn said...

Cat-bot looks concerned. He's aware that Small-bot is not acting normally. Take time to pet the cat, Small-bot. He will always love you, but we women can be fickle!

I like how he keeps music playing in the background even while he's vacuuming.

ella kelly said...

Jodie - You are brilliant. Hilarious. It's strangely moving. Though I had a pang for cat-bot...they're not married, of course? Please? Cat-bot works. Are they roommates? Because...you know...if small bot is a lovely guy who's simply unhappy with cat-bot...oh, my broken heart....

Bus stop,wet day, she's there I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus go, she stays love grows
Under my umbrella

'Bus Stop' The Hollies
(from the stone age as my daughter would say)

This little series really reminded me of that song - hope it's got as happy an outcome!!

upstateLisa said...

do you think maybe he is knitting for the girl at the bus stop?! LOL. Love the stories!

jeanie said...

A Very domesticated bot. Where can I get one of those?

joy said...

Hello, Can we see more of your little turtle? Love your blog!

Simone said...

I love the cat!!
