Hopefully I will be able to take pictures after I wash this, but right now I am not so confident it will stay together.

Here is the front done:

And of course the Hamish:

Looks great ,As a general rule I have found that hand sewing stands up better than alot of machine sewing.

How many hours do you think you have in it? More than a couple, I'll bet.

[possingk]

I would say conservativly, 15-18 hours, since I can work on lunch everyday that helped. I started Saturday, and finished Thursday.

Dia dhuit, mo chara,

That looks really good. I couldn't help but notice the wide variety of Irish alcohol in the background too!

My wife and I have two Christmas trees, I have never been a big fan of decorating, but she said that she would let me decorate my tree however I want, so the tree has Guinness, Smithwick's and Harp bottles as ornaments. I thought she would be upset, but when her laughter subsided, she thought it was pretty cool, and definatly my tree.

My eyesight must be failing. I didn't even notice the bottles in the tree until I looked again! I only noticed the boxes! Now that I look closely I believe I also spy Labatt Blue, yes? Alas, I keep away from John Labatt now; too many memories of high school keg parties!

I just realized you are from Kitchener, I use to play up there as a kid we had an arrangement with the teams up there that the kids would stay with a kid from the team up there and they would do the same. We always got to go to Kitchener Rangers games. Good times. The Labatt Blue hat was going to correspond with a couple of Blue bottles, but I bought a keg instead. So no bottles.

Yeah, Kitchener is a nice city. My wife and I have only lived here for about 6 years now but I think it's where we'll stay. Since it's in the centre of southwestern Ontario it's close to all the other major cities. Before that, I've lived in various places in Ontario and abroad in Ireland. Whereabouts is Harrisburg? I've been to Pennsylvania once, but just to Philly, and that was on a school trip many moons ago.

So, why is there such a Buffalo fan in PA?
Did you come from the land of the wing originally?
I have found MANY, MANY Buffalo transplants down here. Most just got sick of the frigid cold.
