God Is Love Cross Scroll Saw Pattern.

Wow, where did this year go?  Christmas is just a week away then we will quickly celebrate a new year.  This has been a good year here at the Scrollsaw Workshop. We had pretty good growth in subscribers and visitors. I was able to update the Community Forum to make it better. The growth of the forum has continued also. It has 162,040 Posts in 16,952 Topics by 5084 Members.

The free pattern catalog has continued to grow. I have not made a complete count lately but it's getting close to 1,500 free patterns. I think that's the largest free pattern catalog on the web. I have lost track of free pattern downloads because the software that counts them died. It's a big number.

My youtube channel has grown. We have 13,178 subscribers and 6,857,635 video views. This is an area of the blog I have neglected this year. I really need to put up more videos. Youtube really helps the blog grow. Lot's of scrollers have found my blog through Youtube.com.

I was able to self publish my first pattern book(Wooden Vases on the Scroll Saw). It has been received well and I do plan to eventually put out volume two.

So far I have written 261 posts for 2014. That's 72% of the days this year I had the opportunity to share my passion with you all. That's down a little from past years. In seven and one half years I have written a post in 82% of those days. I'm proud of those numbers and I have enjoyed every minute.


I think my resolution this year will be to get back to at least that 82% number. That means I have to write at least 300 posts. I wish I could resolve to answer every email but I know that's not possible. I do try to read them all but I even miss that sometimes. Sorry for missing so may. I hope you understand.

I like to reflect back near the end of the year just to see where I have gone and where I want to go.

I hope I keep things interesting for everyone. Thanks to all of you for allowing me to have all this fun.
