  6. You do keep busy, love the pink but not sure I could put it in the house that color might keep me up at night. jim penquin
  7. Thanks for clearing up the source on Chuffed, or am I more confused now. Love it. Live in Southern California and have not heard "stocked" for a long time. Got to think it is not used much any more. Not sure a global dictionary would work but it would have to be on the web no way could you print something like that it would be to heavy to handle I would think. Let me know if you got any US words or sayings you need help with I can try and clear up. If I can't I am sure our 2 daughters can help. jim
  8. Thanks, LarB, not sure on chuffed but think you must mean pleased. Got to be an Australian word, we got some different one's here in the US also. Fun to see the way we all say stuff. jim penquin
  9. This cutting is of Nate Love one of the most famous and popular black cowboys. Here is a bit of his history. Pattern is by Fish. Had a lot of fun with this one. One of the original old west folks. Love fought cattle rustlers and endured inclement weather. He was an expert marksman and cowboy. When he entered a rodeo in Deadwood, South Dakota, on the 4th of July in 1876, he won the rope, throw, tie, bridle, saddle, and bronco riding contests. It was at this rodeo that fans gave him the nickname "Deadwood Dick".[1] On October 1877, he was captured by a band of Akimel O'odham (Pima) while rounding up stray cattle near the Gila River in Arizona. Love reported that his life was spared because the Indians respected his fighting ability. Eventually, he stole a pony and managed to escape into west Texas. Love spent the latter part of his life working as a pullman porter on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. He died in Los Angeles in 1921 at the age of 67. jim penquin

  17. Marg, I used pine on it and gave it a spray of clear lacquer to seal it. jim
  18. Had a craft show and got some requests for word signs. Here are a couple of them. The 4 names are 3 inch lettering. The Swan House is on a blank from WalnutHollow.com (800-395-5995). They have some great wood blanks available. Cats welcome is a pattern one of our members did and I got a big kick out of it since I have a lady who comes to this show every year and always asks about cat items so I made it for her. She loved it. jim penquin
