Popular Post heppnerguy Posted February 10 Popular Post Report Posted February 10 (edited) This is a Sue Mey pattern I ran across in my patterns as I was looking for something to cut for my dear wife. I cut is from 1/8 inch BB Ply using a #1 Pegas spiral blade. I then painted it and made a backer board using 1/4 BB ply. I used Deft semi gloss spray finish. One of the only things I painted and was happy with it. It looks way better than it does in the photo. I took it in the evening front room light.

Scrappile Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 Mighty fine, Dick. I will not show this to Patti. I took her to Costco this afternoon as a Valentine gift. I hate to go to Costco more than anything. But figured during the Super Bowl, it would be less crowded and it surely was! Now I should be good for another year. heppnerguy, wombatie, meflick and 1 other 2 2 Quote

So sorry to hear about your wife passing. It is something I have high gratitude that my wife and I are still together after all these years. I thank God for that and tell my wife that also every night when we crawl into bed. Dick heppnerguy Quote

Congratulations to both of you. You both choose well. A little story for you. When my wife was 13 years old, I met her when she rode over to my house in a friends newly purchased car to show the car to me. My, now wife, had an ambition to become a nun at that time. She told me a couple of years later, when she saw me jump off my parents front porch to see the car, that at that moment she said to herself, "that is the man I am going to marry." Five years later we wed. Dick heppnerguy Quote
