Great job on Blight's dog pattern Kevin and I really like the squirrel on the hand project.

Jeff

Thank you, Jeff, I was having a good time till the yapper showed up and everything came to a standstill.I hate to shoo him away, as he was my banjo teacher that never worked out and I paid in advance thru the nose.What a waste.That's the third person here at the warehouse that hit an run my wallet.Being a good guy doesn't pay very good but my conscience is clear, How they sleep at night I've no idea.I did my best with them, no more I struggle to make it.

Some nicely executed pieces, Kevin. But, one think to remember.......people are way more important then wood cuttings.  I learned that one day only a few years ago in Heppner when I was on a ladder, painting my house. Before my retirement, I only had a short amount of time to get a large project, like painting my house finished and I would start way early in the morning and try to have it finished before dark. If  I got a phone call or someone dropped in for a visit, I would stress and wish I could keep doing what I was trying to accomplish in my time frame and this person interrupting me, made that to maybe not happen as I planned. The day in Heppner was the same, except now I was retired but I still had the mind set as to my self allotted time I wanted to spend painting my house. All of a sudden, a fairly new friend of mine drove up to my house for an unscheduled visit. Instantly I felt stressed by his coming to visit with me. However, I suddenly realized that it really did not matter if  I was delayed and distracted from my  work. I could finish this tomorrow or maybe in two days longer. The house would eventually get painted but the time a person takes to come visit you, means that he or she cares enough about you to take their time to spend some of it with you, You can't get that from the completed paint job at a set time or finishing more cuttings then anyone else in The Village on any particular day. We need to put things down, and pay attention to the person that came especially to see you. Think what it would be like if you had no one that cared about you as this person did. Give that  person your undivided attention and thank God you are not alone and lonely like many people are. Some lay sick in bed, maybe dying and no one has the time to drop in for a little visit and let them know that others care about them. You have this person that did that for you. Think about it, the next time someone comes to visit you, because if you make this person feel unwelcomed, and then the next and then the next. perhaps you will end up laying in your death bed all alone, because you did not have the time for them when they came to visit you while you were well

Thank you Kevin they look great  I am going to cut them myself as well, you done a great job on the cut and thanks for the mention too. As I am still in the learning phase of this pattern making lark I am glad people on here are starting to cut my patterns it tells me and encourages me to carry on watching tutorials and trying to get better I have also had a great offer from one of the pattern makers on here to write down some tips to follow on the portrait pattern side and have help from others like @Fab4 ,@bobscroll and @multitomand of course all the comments I get help too but that is the side I really struggle on but want to learn to be able to help out people on here with their requests cannot wait for the email from him then I will be head down and focused for a little while. Thanks again for the mention Kevin :thumbs:

Oh yes I agree .I gave him my undivided attention.He talks like a radio announcer never stops to take a breath or give you a chance to be part of the conversation.He's very self centered , stingy and a cheap scape,lol but I accept him as a friend even thou I lost my money on banjo lessons to him.My fault! i never learn that money is best in my pocket.Thanks friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
