the insect hotel

we were spending an evening with some exciting woodwork and all other kinds of materials, working on the "insect hotel" or this link has some wonderful inspiration too. i have been thinking of such a construction for a while, have seen it in different places, in many a garden here in our neighborhood. and of course just never took the time and leaser to get my act together and make such an elaborate construction. but now our neighbor took it upon himself to get two kits together for the community and we all worked on it and had mostly a good time. of course not all of the folks living in our house love crafting, or doing so in a group setting. but it was an excellent evening, lots of creativity and many a good and inspiring conversation was going on. as much as i hope the insects will be moving into this new home of theirs...

and look at the fun details, just so perfect!
thank you m for the effort and i love the result.
