KathieB Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Li'l Miss Rabbit is 5-1/2" tall, just right for the petite Primrose. Found her at Deal$, a dollar store in Columbia, MO, last summer. She and her house will be moving to Sugar Land, TX, to live with my sis-in-law, who has a mighty rabbit collection. I knew there was some reason the little missy resisted boxing up and even hid when I left to visit SIL recently! I'm sure she'll be watching the construction with a keen eye. I've promised her we can get started right after Thanksgiving, and I have an inkling that she'll keep the Nag Index racheted up if I drag my feet! As you can see, she loves flowers. I think the window boxes helped her choose this house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Such a cutie pie!!!! I can imagine her spurring you on if you drag your feet and no wonder she needs a flower bed to tend to and pots and watering cans and..... I am sure she will let you know all she needs LOL Looking forward seeing what comes out of this rabbit habitat Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I bought some moss at Hobby Lobby today, thinking to use it for roofing material on the rabbit habitat. I think I can just glue it to the roof, but I'm wondering how well it will hold up. Has anyone glued moss on a house? If so, what was your experience?

Minis On The Edge Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I know Nutti has used it. She used it on her haunted house Here is the Link to Nutti's blog: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/i...d=11&cat=34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I would think if you sprayed it very well with insecticide (outside) and let it dry thoroughly and then sealed it with matte varnish it oughta last forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I know Nutti has used it. She used it on her haunted house Yes! Perfect! I would think if you sprayed it very well with insecticide (outside) and let it dry thoroughly and then sealed it with matte varnish it oughta last forever! Good idea! I was wondering about bits falling off, but the varnish ought to glue it down pretty well without making it look overstarched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Li'l MIss Rabbit has been nagging at me. I promised her I'd start on her house as soon as the Travel Trailer was finished. But I'm working on the pet shop/grooming parlor instead. Why, you ask? Well, DH gave me a Dremel Stylus for Christmas, but I'm such a good kid that I won't open it until Christmas. The pet shop doesn't need any sanding. The Primrose does. And now that I know the Stylus is waiting (under the tree, where I pet it daily) .... well, Li'l Miss Rabbit just has to have some patience!

Blondie Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm excited to see this one. It's going to be such a cute, little house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm eager to get started on it. I found some really cute scrapbooking paper for the walls. One sheet may even work for flooring if I decide not to stain. Hmmm .. I could stain and prime (carefully, so as not to glue pieces to backing material) while I'm waiting for my Christmas present. The pet shop should be finished today ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Great Gift Kathie! I can't wait to see your project though but I do understand NOT opening your gift early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Kathie, are you going to put moss on the roof? I think that would look SO neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Yup. Moss on the roof. Got some at Michael's a while back. Not sure if the entire roof will be moss or whether it will be shingled, with moss growing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 it will be shingled, with moss growing on it. I really like that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I like your inspiration photos, I often take pictures of old homes that are abandoned for inspiration on building one. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 Well, Li'l Miss Rabbit raised the Nag Index today when she realized the Pet Shop is finished. So, to keep her calm, we opened the box. She's decided she wants the floors stained, but I think she'll let me paint the rest of the woodwork. (One pitiful picture added to album.) New Year's Day tomorrow ... a good day to be working on a dollhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
