This scroll saw challenge is an easy one! Post a Holiday project! Ornaments for your tree, gift for a loved one, or decorations for your house. Whatever! While we love to see your projects, it's the stories behind the project that makes it special. So tell us a little bit about it. I can't wait to see what's on your saw this Holiday season.

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.

So there's this worldwide sports event happening right now. You know, the one with the 5 rings? It's kinda a big deal. They televise it and everything! So this scroll saw challenge is about sports, sportsmanship, worldwide competition and camaraderie. Post your sports-themed projects as we celebrate our athletes and international sports!

March is a big month! Daylight Savings is March 10. Saint Patrick's Day is March 17th. March Madness also starts on March 17th. The first day of spring is March 19th. And lastly, Easter is March 31st! Whew! So instead of picking one to celebrate, we'll open it up to whatever March means to you. Is it green beer? Digging in the garden? Basketball and nachos? Or are they brightly dyed eggs? Post your March scroll saw projects here. It'll be fun to see what you come up with to celebrate March.

Christmas is over and we start a new year. Whenever January rolls around, I often reflect on the previous year. I like to think of the special memories, accomplishments, and time I spend with my hobbies. So this month's challenge, think back to what you created this year and post your favorite scroll saw project. Let us know a little bit about it. Why was it your favorite? Was it a gift for someone? What was it for? I always enjoy the stories behind the project. Can't wait to see your favorite project!

When I was a kid, one of my favorite things was making our Valentine's boxes in school so our classmates could put in Valentine's cards. It was so much fun to go through and see what cards your classmates got you. So for me, Valentine's Day isn't only about romantic love. It's also about showing the people in your life how much you appreciate them. A time to check in with friends, both old and new. Connect with family just to say you're thinking of them. A little special something for the kids or grandkids to say "I love you." Post a project you made for your sweetheart, a good friend, or someone in your family to show how much you care. It's open to interpretation, so get creative. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

This is the easiest scroll saw challenge yet! Post your most recent project. That's it! No theme other than your last project. It'd be fun to see what folks are working on. When you post, tell us why or who you are making it for. It's always nice to hear the story behind a project.

I was looking through our past scroll saw challenges, looking for a new December challenge. I found it strange that even though we push Holiday Ornaments, with our Ornaments For Charity ebook and Personalized Ornament kits, we have never done an actual Ornament scroll saw challenge! So this month, let's show off those ornaments! Post a few pictures of your scrollsaw ornaments. It would be fun to see what you've made. Tell us a little bit about them while you're at it. We'd even love to see them on the tree! Happy Holidays! Let's have some fun!

Spooky season is over, and now we're in the mode of Thanksgiving. I always thought of this time of year as a transition time, where we can slow down from our summer adventures and back-to-school routines. Where we can reflect on friends, family, and all of the things we are thankful for. So this month's scroll saw challenge is about Thanksgiving. Different countries celebrate Thanksgiving (or a form of) at different times of the year. But the sentiment is the same: Counting our blessings and enjoying the company of our loved ones. Post a project that means Thanksgiving to you. Is it a centerpiece for the dinner table where you enjoy a carefully prepared meal for your friends and family? Is it a scenic project or portrait of old farm equipment that is iconic of a bountiful harvest? Maybe they're hand turkeys you made with the kids? It is completely open to interpretation. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I went to the big box store to pick up a couple of things and I saw this guy with a long salt-and-peppered beard and a bright tie-dye t-shirt. He looked like he stepped straight out of Woodstock. When I got home, I looked up Woodstock. I guess it was August 15-18, 1969. It was meant to be a 3-day music festival, but it certainly turned into a symbol of the era. So, I thought it would be fun to do a scroll saw challenge about peace, love, and everything groooovy. Like the other scroll saw challenges, it is open to interpretation. From hippies to VW vans, peace signs to bubble letters, music icons or just some funky project you made. Have fun with it! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Last week, I headed back to Montana to visit my family. It has been awhile since I've been home. We had a great time reminiscing about the good ol' days. So I think this month's scroll saw challenge is about nostalgia. Post a project that brings back memories of the good ol' days. This is pretty open to interpretation. Old cars, trains, farm houses, scenic, etc. When you post, let us know what kind of memories it brings back for you. It will be fun to see what people come up with.

March: Will it be "In Like A Lion and Out Like A Lamb?" Or will it be "In Like a Lamb and Out Like A Lion?" Regardless, this month scroll saw challenge is about big cats. A popular genre in scroll sawing, so it's time to show them off. Or maybe King of the Jungle cats aren't your thing? Post the King of the House instead with kittens and cat projects. That's what the internet is for, right? Cat pictures? Can't wait to see what you come up with.

These are strange times, indeed. Stay-at-home orders have been issued around the world as they try to wrangle this pandemic. I had to get myself and my team to work remotely, which was no easy task. Non-essential offices, stores, and services have shuttered their doors. Now we're at home hunkering down with some time on our hands. Luckily, as scrollers, we have no shortage of projects. So, what have you been doing with your time at home? Post your Lockdown Projects. While we usually ask for scroll saw projects, I'm going to open this to whatever project you have going during your home quarantine. Scroll saw project, home improvement, cooking, exercise....it don't matter. Show off what you're working on. Also, post a nice thing that happened to you this week. I'd like to see some happy news.

Post your summertime scroll saw projects and tell us a little bit about your project and why you made it. I love the stories behind the project.
