My Hands

I can finally post!!! Being at the cottage and using Dial-up there doesn't allow me to upload or download photos - too slow! We had a great few days at the camp. The weather was great. One cloudy day, but still warm. Doug got lots of work done on the addition and it's looking great! We had a nice sauna and swim and I puttered in the yard. Blueberries are just starting!
For the last week or so, I've been working on a project for the camp. It's kinda kitchy, but cute. I made 5 little directional signs: Main Camp, Fish Shack (outhouse), Warehouse (Doug's big shed), Shoe Tree Trail and Sauna. I painted them with Folk Art paint and coated them with several coats of Varathane. I'm going to attach them to a post and put it up in our back yard. I think it's really fun! When it's all erected, I'll be sure to post a pic!
So, this pic is of me scraping the bark of the tree, which is the post for the signs. I remember when I was a kid how I LOVED to peel/scrape the bark off of branches and trees. I even got in trouble with our neighbours for cutting branches off their Hemlock tree and peeling them.
