brave little toaster

toaster

we don’t have much storage room in our kitchen. when our toaster is not in use, we put it on top of our microwave, which is on top of our fridge. for some reason this area accumulates a lot of dust, which means the toaster is often quite dusty.
we’re pretty lazy, so when presented with a dusty toaster, we’d rather forgo toast than clean the damn thing. fed up with it, i devised a tin foil solution. it was not the optimal solution, but whatever. it kept the dust off.
for weeks krista was talking about making a toaster cozy. i scoffed, as i am wont to do. my foil was perfectly fine! even though it did fall off a lot. tonight she finally dragged out the sewing supplies and made this toaster cozy, which is, admittedly, a much better cozy than mine.
(she wanted me to say it has that weird bulge/fold at the front to accomodate the handle/lever thing.)

I’m glad we finally have a cover for it. Yours was doofy, though it did work for a while. ;D Not that I’m saying mine’s not doofy.
