The best phone call ever! I just received a call from the folks at the Scottish Tartans Museum and my hand-made, one-of-a-kind, first-kilt-in-my-own-design is in!!!!!!!

I designed a tartan in honor and named for my late grandfather which echoes our family's history. I spoke with Matt a few times and sent him the design I worked up and now it's done!

My first real tank!

My first Newsome!

The first kilt in a brand new tartan!

Yes this post is premature because I'm not holding the kilt in my hand right now and sharing pictures of it with y'all. I somehow think there may be a few here who understand my total lack of control in pre-posting

Pictures will certainly follow!
