and it’s the husband who’s the star of the show today. Like Jon, of this group, the husband enjoys messing about with “men tools” and had his very own pallet gate adventure. We didn’t have a proper gate around the net fencing on our hen coop. Just used to move part of the netting every day to nip in, but the husband decided we needed something more permanent (after 5 years of hen-keeping).
and this is what he made. Had to buy two hinges, and fixed it to a sturdy wooden post (with net fencing being secured with blue twine to the post).
It does the job perfectly!
I, in the meantime, was busy with needle & thread, not to mention recycling some @m@zon cardboard packaging . . . and finished off a small batch of xmas decorations.
You have been busy. I am hoping 2022 will be more industrious for me
Also great fence 👌 by hubby
it’s very functional ^^
Well done that chap. That looks like a Good sturdy gate. Love your scrappy decorations too. How Good to find a use for packaging.
yes lots of parcels arriving and it seemed a shame to bin the boxes even if it does all get recycled. The husband always nabs the ginormous boxes (from pet food delivery) to lay flat on the ground in veggie garden.
Kudos to your hubby for the sturdy and good looking gate! And you’ve been quite busy. 😉
thanks Kate, sadly I didn’t send one to you this year BUT your card & deco arrived, and now I’m feeling guilty ^^ Hope you have a lovely xmas.
No idle hands in your household! Excellent scraps, and best wishes of the season to you both!
thank you ^^
Both brilliant makes!
Glad I’m not the only one keeping mailing boxes! They’re so useful for all sorts of things. And the Husband’s gate is a wonder, extremely beautifully make and effective.
Wow, those labels are adorable! And great job on the gate. Husbands are so handy!
Great work done by your husband and you are always creating these beautiful cards!
well done both of you, I could use a gate like that to keep the deer out.Winter wishes to you, too.
