Shaking off the dust

[Be_O_Be]

 Haven't posted in a while and my saw has been collecting dust. I've been in the shop but just not scrolling, recently retired and now I have an extra 40 hrs. a week of "me time". My Wife does crochet work, dolls, animals and is doing a show in December so the me time just became "her time". Its a Christmas show so now I'm involved.

 Just like riding a bike, broke a few blades but I'm back in the seat.

      

   

  Patterns are Spielman & Reidle

  Candy Cane by Travis.

  Thanks for looking

That is some fine scrolling.  Congrats on retirement, had to smile when you say "40 extra hours of me time".... I seem to have less and less "me" time in retirement.  And as I get older it takes me longer to do what I want to do, so the net is not good....

Very well done, Bob.  I guess I retired several times.  Now we own ArtCrafters and have fun at the store.

 I found this to be true early on, seems everyone else had something for me to do just to keep me from "getting bored".

  That is a sample of my wifes hand crafts that were vetted for an upcoming show. I provided two 3/16 dowel rods for the legs. Every row has X amount of counted stiches and the count in each row is increased or decreased by 2-3 stiches to reach the desired diameter or shape. This bird is just about 5" tall. My pieces are just to fill table space.

Very nice work! I really like that cute deer.
Congratulations on your retirement.

Thanks for sharing and God Bless!

I had lots of me time until my husband retired now it's his time and whatever I can squeeze in.  It is just like riding a bike but always a bit wobbly at the start.  Great work.

  I cut out a few Snowmen & tall Santa , patterns are @Travis ornaments for charity. Original patterns are about 5" & 6" tall and the larger ones are 12" & 13" tall. We are at the painting stage of the game. For the small parts, noses & stars, we found 3m sticky tabs at the dollar store and stuck them on. This helps holding the parts & leaves the back bare to apply glue later during assembly. Parts still need assembled and details applied.
