Love - Scroll Saw Challenge

It's February, and Love is in the air!  This one is open to interpretation  Post a project you are making for your sweetheart!  Or how about a project showcasing something you love?  Something like a pet portrait, your favorite car, recreational activity?  Whatever you love, is fair game.  When you post, tell us a little about it.

Made this for SWMBO for our 25th wedding anniversary
We are nearing 47 years together in a few months and this still holds true
Top left is just a nickname I gave her when we were just dating,
I'm sure she has been called worse....LOL
She must like it, it still hangs on our wall today. (Not like many other things I did)

I married the girl next door 48 years ago. We were sweethearts in 7th-8th grades. Then reconnected in college. As kids we walked hand-in-hand at school and on country trails. So I made this portrait of us for her last year at Valentines Day.

I usually make a card.  This year I made the heart by Steve Good.  My wife is a puzzle junkie so it is appropriate.  I write the message on the back.

A couple of years ago I did the card "I love you more than Ice Cream" and my wife gave me a card "love you more than chocolate' Both very appropriate

One I did last year.

This I would say was my favourite project that I really loved and enjoyed working on.  I had made two for my grandchildren. It’s unbelievable the number of years of enjoyment they had riding these along with all their friends. They are still in use today. I’m planning on making a third one this year. 
 

For my wife the favourite item I loved making her was a squirrel plaque called a Fall Scene

Well, I was going to wait and post a piece of one of my fur babies, but I don't think I'm going to get to it before his month's project is over. It will actually be the first I've completed from picture to product. Sooo, I'm posting a couple past pieces. The first two I did for my mother on Mother's Day two years in a row. The single rose with the "Mother" stem was one of the first pieces I ever cut. It is actually about 1 1/2 inches thick and that is where I learned you have to push straight into the blade and don't let the blade deflect too much. The second was for this past Mother's Day and I believe you can tell a difference between the two pieces how I have learned over that year. My mother is 90 years old and has early stages of dementia. Because of the distance between our homes. I don't get to see her except on weekend. I make it a point to go see her ever Sunday and take her out to lunch. The third piece is a "Welcome" door hanger I did for my wife's niece when she got married. She is in Colorado, a physical therapist doctor and just had their first baby. It surprised me when I learned she was getting married. She has always been a tom boy type and never showed an interest in dating.

These are all Steve Good patterns. Hope I did them justice.

A couple I've done over the years for my wife.  Heart-gears was the most fun, I did three different sizes on that one. 

"Nugget's Place" was a sign I made for her Salcata tortise enclosure.  The tortoise has outgrown the enclosure (she's big enough she can't squeeze under the shed or the fence), which is good because the sign did not survive the winter.

July 4, 1776 I did for me. 

Rose box and "Love You" were also done for my wife.

Order for one of these came in yesterday and I was sold out of them so making another batch tomorrow.. Sheila Landry or Keith's design 

And then this little guy standing with his arms open.. Steve Good pattern..  I made these for my wife and kids way back when the pattern was first released. Thinking that was around 2010 ish?.. Didn't really make anything this year.. we have so much stuff that I've made over the years that I've kinda stopped making things for our house.. 

 

 

 

[Gonzo]

I made this for my wife a few years ago. I’m pretty sure it’s a Steve Goode pattern. I also happen to enjoy making clocks. 

[Hawk]

I finished this the day before Valentines Day. I saw this message somewhere online, took a screen shot to remember it. When I decided to do this project I searched all over online for a pattern but couldn't locate one,  so made my own.

We were both in our 50's when we met.
