I think I am done with this painting for my cousin. He wanted a fantasy scene, and this is about as fantastic as I get atm. I call it Where the elves live.

I had a seed idea that got a couple of people excited and it looks like it is going to be a legit thing. I'll share details when it is a bit more concrete. It is an evironmental effort.

I am returning to the cottage in a couple of weeks to get more work done on the sauna that claimed my finger tip last October.

We need to put in a large reclaimed window facing the lake, install the cedar benches and paneling, finish the breezeway paneling, and brick/cement board in the area for the stove. The stove will be fed from the outside. It is being manufactured by a guy near the cottage, but won't be done until July, so we'll install it when we come back then. I might use that extra roof panel to create a side roof that we can stack wood under. Cedar paneling probably costs more than platinum. I am afraid to look.

My nail is growing out from my shorter fingertip. It looks like I'll have a full width nail, so that it nice. However, it is uncomfortable to have something break through your skin at 0.5mm per day.
