Make Something Monday #15

Make Something Monday

Here's another installment around the homestead from my handy hubby:


Our rabbit shelter.

This is where the bunnies are going to live. We have the cages, but have to put them together with a zillion little wire clamp thingies which require a special tool. We have the tool now, but on the day when I actually had time to go out and work on the cages, we didn't. So I haven't had another chance to get them together. Once the cages are together, Paul is going to make some kind of supports so they don't have to have legs under them and will be easier to clean under. Also, before next winter, we will put some kind of doors on the front that can be used to close up for really cold days.

Holly tested out the shelter and gave it her approval. Finn has also discovered the fun of throwing great handfuls of sawdust into the air and rolling in the sawdust until it covers every square inch of his body. Didn't get any pictures of that, though. Fresh barns are so much fun to play in until you put the animals in!



So hopefully, we will have rabbits coming soon. But at least they have somewhere to live when they come!

I think you should just give the little shelter to your girl. She is just too cute sitting in there like she owns the place! :)

Cats are very useful. I not only rarely see mice and rats I hardly ever see a snake either!! So thats a good thing.. Bad thing is if you dont get them fixed as soon as possible they tend to multiply like well rabbits... LOL Nice Rabbit barn by the way!! very nice!

About This Blog

I picked the name Petalz and Finz a couple years ago when I decided to try Etsy out. I wanted to custom make some baby related items and have things for girls and boys. I felt the name incorporated both my kids (at the time) into it--petalz for Ivy and finz for Finn.

I haven't had time to do much of anything with my Etsy for a while, but it's still my in my long term goals. In the mean time, I'm having fun with this blog thing. I've found some creative inspiration through my own posting, but also through many other wonderful blogs out there.
