  1. Welcome from Winnipeg!
  2. That is a stunning piece of simplicity. Beautiful work.
  3. Congratulations Frank & Margaret on 54 years!
  4. This is a H Botas pattern. I usually see his stuff on my facebook feed. https://www.customwoodportraits.com/
  5. I sincerely doubt that!! It is just one cut at a time. I still need to work on "Straight" lines!!
  6. Yes, I much prefer the dark backgrounds. The white was a request - and the customer is always right!
  7. Finished these Botas patterns. Stack cut 1/8 ply. All three sold. Backing on two as requested, with colours requested. Third one was trimed to fit the 8x10 frame. Colour backing was my choice. Frame purchased from Ikea.
  8. These are pictures I took at Lake of the Woods in Ontario. This is where I keep my boat and we are able to explore the thousands of bays and island. Turned them into puzzles. One of my favorite, very easy meals to do while out and about is a Steak Teriyaki recipe that was my mom's. So--- for 2 pounds of thinly sliced beef (or chicken and I will use eye of round): 2/3 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup salad oil, 6 cloves minced garlic, 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger (or 2 tsp dry ginger), 2 tsp dry mustard, 2 tbsp molasses. Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl. Add meat. Let stand for 24 hours. (I usually put this in a "zip" bag). Tips for the recipe. if you are cutting the meat yourself, partially freeze the roast before cutting. It is easier to cut very thin slices that way. I will often portion the meat and marinade into smaller bags and then freeze. Serve with rice, a big salad and garlic toast. Very easy to prep. Very quick to cook, basically put on the grill, turn and serve!
  9. Thanks for the recipe link. Just ordered a smoker for hubby's 60th birthday. Also ordered some hardwood pellets to go with it. He has been asking for one for a few years now. There will be a rack of ribs wrapped to go along with the gift! I am certainly looking forward to his birthday!! lol
  10. The boat and the bird are Botas patterns. The heart is Sam Custodio.
  11. Thanks Kevin
  12. Just got this finished. You can read about the progress in the works in progress tab under Another something new.
  13. Just my take on all of this. Maybe Octoolguy should email Wolfgang and copy you on the email so that Wolfang has your email address and get things started that way!!
  14. I like the metal hooks better. The wood ones seem crowded which would make it harder to just "grab" the leash.
  15. Love the magnet idea!
  16. Great work!
  17. I have been working on a lantern. Posted under "another something new" so I won't post here. Also been cutting 22 , only 6 so far, of the 10 piece flower puzzle that Al Baggetta posted http://www.baggetta.com/pebooks/Free_CountUpToSpring/Count Up To Spring Flower Pattern.pdf These were going to be "Count down to Mother's Day" puzzles. My daughter is a teacher and I thought these would be great for her class to decorate and then give to their mom's. Covid got in the way. I also did this balloon as something to do that didn't require a great deal of thinking!!
  18. great pattern. prefer without the backer
  19. I bought 1/8in and 1/4in bb ply, some rainbow poplar and a big chunk of cherry a couple of weeks ago when we started the physical distancing. I haven't really sold at craft sales, so I should be good for a while!!
  20. Wow WoW and WOW! what an amazing pattern and what amazing cutting!
  21. I like the idea of the hose from a cpap machine. I have wanted to try to get an upper hose on my new dust collection system. Of course with the lock down, I don't think I need to run to the hardware store to get a "y" connector hose. It can wait until the fall.
  22. Never been in a chat room before so don't know if I would use it.
