Okay, this isn't a brag as much as it is a question for the ladies here. I cut this from Steve's pattern, for a friend of mine to give to his wife. Lisa says it's "scary." What do you think?

Bill you did a great job on it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Looks great, nice work. Thanks for sharing. I don't think it is scary. Remember the book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. LOL:)
-
I don't know if I fall within the "ladies" category ;D ;D but, if it were me, and my husband gave it to me, I would say "Oh look how cute" and then I would ask what he did wrong that he felt he had to bribe me with a gift !!!!
-
you did a good job with it Bill thanks for posting
-
Hey Bill, You did a great job on the cutting, but I agree with Lisa, It is kinda scary! ::)
-
Muy bonito.
Luce muy alegre.
Gracias por mostrarlo

Et tu, Dan? :'(

Sorry, Dan, bad joke.
Here's what Wikipedia says about "Et tu, Brute?"
A Latin phrase often used poetically to represent the last words of Roman dictator Julius Caesar to his friend Marcus Brutus at the moment of his murder by stabbing. It can be variously translated as "Even you, Brutus?","And you, Brutus?", "You too, Brutus?", "Thou too, Brutus?" or "And thou, Brutus?". Immortalized by Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (1599), the quotation is widely used in Western culture to signify the utmost betrayal.
My sense of humor isn't great at times. When you agreed with Lisa, I wanted to tease you about feeling betrayed.

Bill, I don't blame you. Steve made the pattern. When he first posted the pattern, I thought it was kind of creepy and I wont be cutting that. Steve makes some great patterns that I cut all the time. In fact I use some of his patterns in my scroll saw classes.
Besides, you asked! ::)
-
haha, don't be fooled Bill, if you cut it, it must be great...lol
Bruce ;D

I made one for my wife and she really seemed to like it.
-
It is mildly creepy, but the thought is wonderful. I do think I would be curious as to what my husband did wrong if I ever got one though.
Great Job!

I find it interesting that both ladies responded with suspicion, of the intent of the spouse. Distrusting the veracity of the emotion being expressed.
So I would say gentlemen ignore them except when it would be fatal to do so, such as on Valentines Day, your anniversary, Christmas,
and their birthday, or any other situation when they might expect your felicitous expression of affection!
Wow I can't believe I wrote all that crap and only mispelled one word, I also used up all my fifty cent words for the month. LOL
I've got my bullet proof helmet and vest on just in case and I'm hiding in my bunker. ;D ;D ;D

All kidding aside, when Steve posted this, I immediately decided it wouldn't be something I'd be interested in making. I know my wife would be appreciative of it and thank me without hesitation, but then it would get tucked away in the back of a closet after a couple of days. I don't know that I'd call it "creepy", but there is something about it! My $4.95.

When all is said and done, I find the heart-on-the-face a little creepy, but cute. Today's the day I give it to my friend, so he can give it to his wife. I'm going to tell him what Lisa thinks, and the feedback from the forum. I'll let him decide if he wants to give it to his wife or not.
Thank you all for your input. :)
