Cozy Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

This year has been really hectic.  I feel like I'm always playing catch-up.  So, I was looking forward to November when I can slow down a bit and settle in.  The weather is getting colder.  I have the fire going with a nice cup of coffee.  I thought this month's scroll saw challenge could be about coziness.  It's a bit of an abstract idea since "Cozy" means different things to different people.  But I think we're up for the challenge.

Post a scroll saw project that means Cozy in your mind.  Maybe it's a trivet for your favorite tea kettle.  Napkin holders for your Thanksgiving table.  A yarn bowl made for the knitter in your life.  Maybe a scenic cutting of snow falling on the mountains or an old farm truck driving down a country road.  I'd love to see what you come up with.  When you post, tell us a little bit about it.  I love the stories that go along with the projects.

Nothing like a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter's morning.

This is an older project, but I made a caddy for my tea.  I kinda wanted it old farmhouse style.

I choose a Shiela Landry design. Cut in 1/4” cherry with an 1/8” Baltic Birch backer painted black.

This actually doesn't mean "cozy" to me, it's a gift to my sister.

This is 40 or more years old. It has been hanging on the wall everywhere we have lived since. It was made from pallet wood and one of the first things I cut on a scroll saw. I'm living this today with my grandchildren.

I really like this.  Reminds me of some of the things my mom had hanging on the wall.  By any chance do you still have the pattern?

This is NOT a scroll saw project, so please remove it if necessary Travis.  I'm posting it because I came home yesterday morning after having coffee with "THE BOYS", and I walked in the house and saw this displayed in our living room.  

Ann Marie, my wife, took down all the Halloween deorations and she said the house looked too dull, so she had some very small hay bales that she uses in our NATIVITY scene and some small pumpkinsand she placed them in the stake truck to add a little FALL/Thanksgiving to our home. 

The truck is a pattern from WOODSMITH magazine.  I made this about 5 years ago and it never looked so good.

Nothing cozier than a comfy chair (gnome), a cuppa strong coffee in the morning, a tub of hot gooey cheese in the evening, and the unconditional love of your dogs.
