Ok, we stripped the lights off Mr. Moose and here he is now in this stage.

I am going to have to go hunting for some chicken wire. Now, I am not sure what to do next. But the hub and I have been thinking and first we need to stablize the critter so he stands better so we are thinking maybe to make a box of some sort so he can be anchored into it and we can put flowers in his box later. So we are going to take a little time to ponder how we are going to do this. If any one has some ideas, chime in please!

I am also pondering the idea of going with some silk flowers instead of real. but well, we have some time to ponder this too since we still have to make him (her?) stand better!

Oh, forgot this moose has a cool feature in that the head swings from side to side so we need to really think on how to protect the mechanism if it is going to remain outside or even have live flowers if we are going to keep that feature!

Man, I think this is going to be a fun project!

So far, cost = ZERO. It was a freebie recycle from

So so far, how awesome is that!
