Once again, the thoughtful, handmade gift hits the mark. The kid is a pretty big Broncos fan and I had recently got a new (to me) scroll saw. Brianna helped me cut out a stencil with her super secret Cricut thingy. I learned some things about scrolling: speed, TPI, blade thickness, wood hardness and thickness. I had a small panic moment after I was done cutting — I dropped it and popped off a chunk on the left end. I was able to salvage a bit of it and glue it back together. Birthday boy didn’t care and was so excited to get it!

Against my better judgment, I agreed to help make this Broncos logo. (Can’t quite talk him into becoming a Steelers fan.) It was a fun project, something we’d never attempted before! I am pretty quick with creating vector images and running things through the Cricut, so my part in this was pretty easy. It was interesting to lay the stencil, though, and determine which bits would be cut out and which needed to stay solid in order to maintain the integrity of the piece and not have it fall apart!
