    And now the wait.

    Just ordered 8 yards of handmade kilt in Buchanan modern from Alexis Malcolm...looks like I have about 3 months to make a decent sporran....BTW, I just spilled a whole bottle of leather dye in the living room....never look at your stuff outside of your work area. :/ lol

    Congrats on your new kilt order !

    Spilling a whole bottle of leather dye in the living room is a bummer . However , on the bright side , you could now declare the living room as your work area .

    Cheers , Mike

    I like it. I like it a lot. More air conditioning and TV to distract me from waiting for my kilt to arrive.

    Congratulations on the new kilt!!! I know I'll be waiting about 6 months before I can even order mine.

    Thank you very kindly...Speaking with Ms. Malcolm this morning she says things are moving along nicely for her and that I can reasonably expect my kilt to be done a few weeks earlier than we had talked about before.

    I really do understand the waiting to order - like I said, I have been thinking about doing it for a long time but finally got to a position where I could pursue the dream tenaciously and I just hunkered down and got my stuff together and pulled the trigger.

    It's a wonderful relief to go from "Some day..." to "I know within a couple days when it will arrive!" Here's to hoping your wait is a painless as possible! int:

    That's great news Lee! Mine took seven months to arrive but it was worth the wait since it's a garment that will last my life time and generations after.

    Now... What's the new color of your living room rug and will you have to get new drapes to match?

He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.
