After finding two birds' nests in the greenhouse
and making two garden signs using reclaimed wood,
it seemed only natural to make
NEST garden signs.
Following the same basic steps used in
creating the I'd rather be in the GARDEN sign,
these new small signs include a graphic.

Thank you, Karen at The Graphics Fairy.
The Graphics Fairy has thousands of FREE images
which makes it hard to choose what to use in a project,
but, oh, what fun looking.
Go to the site to download images in order to get the crispest image.
The black and white graphics can be colored using photo software.
I used the built-in Preview program that comes with Mac computers.
My little garden of garden signs is growing.
I have already created other canvases with different phrases
that are ready to be attached to old wood and stakes,
but it is going to be a few days before I finish them.
While hammering in the last nail on the green nest sign,
I hammered my left index finger,
smashing it so badly the fingernail was torn and
a small cut runs from front to back of the finger.
Oh, the woes of a DIY blogger.
There in the background...
Do you see it? ...
The first tiny, blurry glimpses of the big project
going on at Botanic Bleu...
Fortunately, a contractor who knows his way
around tools is doing that project.
