Oh Yeah! Forgot I did this

See? Foggy Brained!
Olaf was a birthday present for the boss in mid November, and finally found a scrap bin pattern I liked, and got it made. Found the pattern here and added wheels (right? Right. I think I did, anyway... I forget.) Anyway, the bottom two are what I did for Halloween. The outline of the large skeletons were done with a jig saw. The inner ribs had to be done on my scroll saw, since there were some areas that were too small for the saw blade to fit into. That was a feat in itself! The throat of my scroll saw is only 16" and these skeletons were much larger than that. Thank goodness for spiral blades!!!! I made one cat, and thought he was too small, so made a second one, larger. Both of them got glow in the dark paint on their eyes and teeth ( I think). I also did some bats, but they were hard to see. I found a scene that Ken liked, and did a pallet painting, and did the tombstone with the crow on the top. The others were a complete joke. I'll be making some of my own next year. (Kept these, however, to use as a pattern for the shape of them. Also gonna keep the lighting mechanisms in them, if possible.)
Okay that's all I've done in wood since October... you're all caught up now. Ken and I are making a second bunny with his butt up in the air with the carrots that I did last year for Easter. This set is for his great aunt in New York, who fell in love with them when she saw it.
