Finished! Oops!

OK... I finished the bunny hutch.  Don't tell anybody that I made the triangles on top too short. 

But after the way it turned out, I am glad that I did!

Here you can see that the tops don't quite meet...

There are a few spots of glue showing on top.  I took the copper work off so that you could see the hole.

If it doesn't work... Fix it!!!  I did.

I went through my findings and found these four triangular findings.

 I had the button in the middle laying on my bedside table.  It was from one of those jars of jewelry from Goodwill.  I saved it out, because I liked it and wanted to use it in some jewelry... This is just as good.

I just decided that the bunnies would like a little extra ventilation in their hutch and went to work.

I glued the points of the triangles to the points of the roof.  Glued the button in the center and let it dry.

The bunnies are perfectly happy with it and Spike and the hedgehog are looking rather envious.

I dread showing it to Tessie, she is going to want a bed with a top like that...

Anyway, if you want to make one, go back and use the pattern for Spike's Pup Tent.  It is basically the same and on that one the points fit together.

I have to go now and find something else to work on...

See you tomorrow.

Still Playing... No Minis So Far...

I am not getting to the bunny hutch as fast as I would like to.  If any of you want to start playing with it, here are the measurements.

The higher that you make the curve from the top of the wall to the peak of the roof, the more pronounced the curve of the roof is going to be.

Tessie has been running all over the place trying to interest other people in Tiger Dens, Cat Caves and other nonsense...

For some reason, she is trying very hard to keep me busy.... I am not sure what she is up to... Very suspicious.

I don't have the Bunny Hutch finished yet, but if you want to try something similar, go to the original plans for Spike's Pup Tent.  It is at  http://caseymini.blogspot.com/2011/12/how.html

This is me, trying to keep you busy until I get back to the bunny hutch... Is it working?

I am digging holes for plants in the back yard, this morning... This afternoon, I should be able to finish the bunny hutch.

See you tomorrow.
