Popular Post David Lehner Posted September 19, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 About a year ago I lost my wife to complications with cancer. I took a few months off to get used to my new life ... shown are a few samples of some of the work I have been doing to get ready for some craft shows this fall. I have a variety of crosses and other layered items. I will be posting more items later .... I feels good to be making sawdust again.

Scrappile Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Very sorry for your lose. That would take some time to adjust to. Glad you are back and doing your beautiful work. I love them all. Are they all Alex Fox patterns, or yours, or someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I'm very sorry for your loss. I can't conceive of losing my wife of 55 years. Your work is exciting. Lots of work in those crosses. I grew up in ND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson142 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I really like the Steam Punk heart! Grieving takes time and is different for everyone. I lost my wife of 47 years in 2017. About a week after, I realized I needed something to do besides feel sorry for myself. I bought My 788, $300 worth of wood and several gross of blades. The saw and everything sat in my shop, still in their boxes for nearly a year before I came to grips with things and returned to scrolling. You're doing well. I feel your pain.

RabidAlien Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 uckFay ancerCay. For those who speak pig-latin. I did a pattern like that for a friend who lost a friend (several losses in my own family, as well), I'll have to see if I posted it in the library when I get back home from this business trip. Welcome back to scrolling, and great job on the crosses!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I often fret if the time come and I loose my wife. I am not sure how I will be able to handle it. I think I would hermitize myself and wonder how or if I could adjust to a knew life. I have seen several scroller who have lost their wives and they tell me that I just need to keep busy and be with people as often as possible. I guess they must be correct as they all seem to be handling things pretty well and moving on with their lives. I can not even image how you feel and the pain you must be going through. But, believe me, we, in The Village do in fact hope you understand the we all care about you and your family. Obviously you have been able to make enough adjustments to start your focus and start to do things that will help you get a grip on things. Your work is amazing and I am feeling quit certain that these projects will get a lot of instant attention and your sales should do really well. Meet and talk with a lot of people and I think this will also be good medicine for you. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 You have done a good job of masking the pain. I hate the thought of finding someone and go thu this again. Your dedication to scrolling shows you put your whole heart in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 David, my condolences on the passing of your wife, how long were you two together? I am so sorry for the pain you'v gone through, and the pain you are still going through. You took some time away from scrolling, it doesn't show in the quality of your work. These pieces are gorgeous, you did a masterful job on each piece. It's nice to see you back at it, hopefully, doing some of this will help you heal, and get on with your life. Take care.
