Haunted House!

I have Decided to Finish up my Haunted House, since I'm waiting on my Old lady to Finish up the cat so We can get the Halloween Lantern painted and glued up.

Hope you enjoy this project also, sorry for no Prepictures, Betty wanted the Haunted House, so I Started working on it last night and got it finished, well Cut out, and Sanded front and back, no inside sanding yet, I've got to get some more Sand paper sheets and make some Sanding Sticks, that Great Idea Came from Steve Goods over at The Scroll Saw Workshop.

I would never have thought about it if I Wasn't a watcher of his Podcast. If you are interested in some basic stuff also and easy to do project, Jump right on over to Steve and see what he has.

With that out of the way, I would like to also give thanks to Lisa Berberette for this pattern we got off the internet. It's originally a Pumpkin Pattern, but since Scroll Saw Patterns are basically Identical I decded to use it for a Plac for the wall or the door.

Hope you enjoy the picture just as much as I enjoyed Scrolling it out.

When are you going to start selling these things on Etsy? It might be a little late for the halloween rush, but thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. ( the PRIME selling time on Etsy. WWW.Etsy.com It's easy to start an account and costs next to nothing to list stuff. Great way to break into an online marketplace. ( Christmas ornaments anyone?)

Ethan,

I Was already thinking about opening a Small Store to see if I could sell some stuff.

Wasn't sure if any of these Scroll Saw Patterns that I've been making was worth the money.

I do have some Christmas Ornament Patterns, Can be made out of Plexy and or Wood, and some out of Thin Sheet Brass.

May Consider, was gonna use Paypal Store or something. Does etsy offer paypal and all?

Aww no post today! (Oct 21) great man! Hope to see you on Etsy soon. Check out the wood stuff with a search and see what sells and what you think you could or would like to do. (Someone scrollsaws earrings!) Some folks don't sell much because the post and forget. Etsy is self promotion. So:chat room , blog, forum post, networking etc. I'm still new at this but I blog everyday and post in forums at lest a couple.. chat rooms are cool cause you can show off youre stuff to folks. I would think if you can keep stuff under $20 ( depending on what it is of coarse) You could easiely get sales. Most people do not know what work is involved in handmade stuff ( try making resin or polymer clay jewelry...It's TOUGH! to get it perfect. So you have to show and educate folks. it's actually quite fun. Whoa this si getting long. Hope you come read my blog sometime. I'm making a new toilet seat out of plywood.

I went into Doll House for a Sherri Hill dress and I had the worst time. The staff was rude and no help to me they made me feel as if I didn’t belong into their store. I well never return there and I am glad I didn’t purchase my dress from that store.
