I hung mine in a tree by our front door and went out a little later to see it on the ground all broken and it is now in the garbage. No problem. I was not interested in putting the red hour glass on the back of the spider as it looked more like a tarantula then a Black Widow to me. Still was an easy and fun project to make. Might make another one but not this year Dick heppnerguy

Good job. They came out better then mine did. They sure are fun Halloween items Dick heppnerguy

I thought it was too perfect to not cut Dick heppnerguy

It is fun to show it to people and I will try to hang it from the tree by our front door on Halloween Dick heppnerguy

Thank you Len. What a nice thing to say. I always prefer to do things with my wife rather then with other people and without her, but that is how it has been since I met her. Dick heppnerguy

I can't speak for her but if I was evaluating myself, I would say I do fairly well most of the time but I have a lot improvement to ever catch up with the love I get from Sharon Dick heppnerguy

Thank you Kevin. Yes I love her a lot. We have been together since 1958 and married since 1961. I am one lucky guy to have such a wonderful wife Dick heppnerguy

Not always as thoughtful as I probably should be, but I think I got thing right this time. Thanks for caring about what my wife is going through with here bor Dick heppnerguy

We had a lot of fun with Roly for his mistake. Thank you for your condolences for my wife. She is handling thing quite well though. I love the humor so many people have on this sight. It makes it really fun to log on here often Dick heppnerguy

Hey no problem. I probably have done the same thing. Paul and I were just kidding with you. Please know there is no need for an apology for it. It brought us some chuckles to kid with you a little Dick heppnerguy

Thank you so much. She is doing quite well. She was so happy to be with him at the hospital even though he was in a coma. She was able to have priest come and give him the last rights, according to our belief and to pray for him and talk with him, even while in his coma. All that helped her a lot to accept the situation he was in. Dick heppnerguy

Paul. I thought you knew me better than that. You are a super guy and husband. I admire a lot about you. That is one of the reasons I feel so lucky to have you for my good friend Dick

Awe thanks. I don't always have my head on straight and I know we should do more together then we do. That is something I really thought about when Sharon was away this time and we already had a talk about improving in that area. Dick heppnerguy

Thank you for the kind comments. We do have each other and I am so thankful for that. I would be lost without her. We have been together for a long time and she is definitely my best friend. We started going together in high school Dick heppnerguy

Are trying to get me in trouble Roly? Patty is Paul's wife. I would be in deep do do with both Sharon and Paul if I took your advice. Just kidding with you.. Thank you for the kind thoughts. I do appreciate them and you. Dick heppnerguy

YOU DON'T NEED TO, SHE STAYS HOME. Dick heppnerguy

I heard from my wife when she called from the airport in Tri-Cities, Washington, that she was in the airport waiting for her boarding time to arrive. I was so excited as her nine days away seemed like at least a month. I received another call at about the time the flight should be in the air that it had been delayed but it finally started loading about 35 minutes late. As it turned out, I was really glad that my wife, Sharon, happen to have chosen this time to fly back and visit our girls once more because while she was there, her brother in the Portland area had a coronary arrest and was taken to the hospital and put into ICU. His heart had stopped for about 15 minutes, was the report I heard but efforts to revive him with CPR finally brought his heart back into motion. He was put on life support but never came out of his coma. He died a couple of days ago. Sharon was able to be there by his side several days only because she had decided to return to Oregon for another visit. So yesterday as I was awaiting her return, which was scheduled for approximately midnight, I took advantage of the time I had and instead or 'welcome home' balloons I was going to get her, I made this cross and bought her a dozen roses. I expected the cross to take me about 3 hours to cut but instead it took me 5 1/2 hours to cut . But I got it all cut, painted, glued and finished before it was time to go pick her up. As I went out the door, I picked up one of the roses and a bottle of cold water for her when she got off the plane. I also stopped and bought her a sandwich to eat, as I knew she would be thirsty and hungry when she got back to Arizona. So happy that I have such a wonderful Wife to love and have love me.

I often fret if the time come and I loose my wife. I am not sure how I will be able to handle it. I think I would hermitize myself and wonder how or if I could adjust to a knew life. I have seen several scroller who have lost their wives and they tell me that I just need to keep busy and be with people as often as possible. I guess they must be correct as they all seem to be handling things pretty well and moving on with their lives. I can not even image how you feel and the pain you must be going through. But, believe me, we, in The Village do in fact hope you understand the we all care about you and your family. Obviously you have been able to make enough adjustments to start your focus and start to do things that will help you get a grip on things. Your work is amazing and I am feeling quit certain that these projects will get a lot of instant attention and your sales should do really well. Meet and talk with a lot of people and I think this will also be good medicine for you. Dick heppnerguy

All these are well done and very pleasant to view. They should demand attention for all that gets to see them on display Dick heppnerguy

Wow I like the way this project is done. It will be perfect to the Elvis fan who receives it. Nice work. Thanks for posting it so the rest of us can enjoy it also Dick heppnerguy

Fun when a pattern comes to life that has a special meaning to another Dick heppnerguy

One more extremely interesting scrolling piece. I bet this will be a big seller for you, Alex. Looks like a fun one to make Dick heppnerguy

Your redition of the story will bring chills to many others. well written. The scrolled piece is as well done as the story section you portrayed in your writing. I enjoyed both. A great Halloween piece, especially if you have seen the movie or read yours first , to understand what it is all about. Fun to see and to read. you took a rather simple scroll piece and almost brought it to be. Dick heppnerguy

I can understand that. My wife does not mind spiders at all but feels the same way you do about snakes. Dick heppnerguy

Wow was I surprised to see your name here. I am very familiar with your patterns and I have cut at least a couple of them. I like to challenge my skills, if it is safe to refer to have skills, and you always have great patterns for that purpose. It is exciting to have someone as well known in the pattern making world as part of our world wide family. I hope you find the time to log in often and I am sure in a short time you will start to recognize us as family too. From Southern Arizona, I say WELCOME Dick heppnerguy
