I haven't cut one of Birchbarks patterns for a long time

[heppnerguy]

I was alone this afternoon when my wife took my granddaughter clothes shopping so I thought I would take advantage and cut something simple in my shop while I waited for them to return. So I opened up my pattern library on my hard drive and started searching for something that would be fun to cut. Almost immediately I ran across a pattern that I have had for some time and was not sure If I would ever cut it, but now this pattern of Birchbarks stood out as the one I was going to cut. I made one mistake and made the pattern quite small and it quickly became a little bit nerve racking. First of all, there were a fun cuts that were smaller then the drill bits that I presently had on hand. I did find a couple of smaller ones in my Dremel box and got by using them, even though I still needed them to be a little smaller. Secondly, as I began cutting I also discovered that the pattern was lifting from my board, as I must not have gotten enough spray glue on the back of the pattern. I worked around it and when my wife and granddaughter returned, I told them that I had cut a goat pattern. "A GOAT PATTERN?" they both said with a look of 'why would you cut a goat pattern?, on their faces. I went out and brought in the piece I had cut and showed it to them, and they both replied,  " That is really cute".  That my friends is why I choose to cut that pattern and now  you know my story and I am sticking to it
