NorCal Rabble December Kilt Night

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

Before I turn into a mushy mom and post a bunch of cute pictures of our offspring, I should perhaps show some of the rest of the rabble (I tend to be a bit self centered, sorry!).

We had AlanH of course, shown here with the Lovely Dameris, who it appears, has just pinched him in a sensitive area?!



Monkey@Arms was there and we met this gentleman, whose name escapes me (remember, beer, bad memory for names?)-wearing a nice combo of Hawaiian shirt and Utilikilt:





We were blessed with the presence of The Luminous Joan, who managed to have a good time it appears:



TimC and Motorman4life were there (although they seem to have forgotten that this is a KILT night!), just hanging with Panache:



Here's another one who forgot his kilt(bad Chris) !



way2fractious admires walkerk's latest acquisition:



and looking good with Monkey@Arms:



Finally, the obligatory group shot:



To follow...kids and the things we brought to show off.

Be well,

Be warned, doting mother posting pictures of her kids....


The kids weren't supposed to even be there last night, but we had a last minute baby sitter problem (which is also why Panache's dad couldn't make it, being that Panache's mom was supposed to be the baby sitter-long, boring story). In the end, I'm glad they could come, since they had such a great time dancing:



Here, they start to get a little wild (yes, he's actually spinning her around):



Consequences:



so, we decided on a safer activity....Bar stool spinning (ok, I'm not the world's best mom!):




In addition to child endangerment, we all took a look at some of the things brought along for show.

walkerk's Inverness Cloak from Empire Canvas Works (shown earlier as way2fractious was admiring it):




My latest project (a LOOOONG time in the making, due to, well...a busy life), thanks to a generous donation of a unique camo material from way2fractious. This is inspired by AlanH's instructions for both the X-Kilt and the X-Skirt, with some modifications of my own. It turned out ok, but, as is usual, I think it could have been better. I'll not bore you with those details though.

Pleat shot (there are 24 pleats with a Kinguisse style):



Front shot, so you can actually see the camo pattern for what it is (I call it Mud Flap Girl):



Turns out, when I took the skirt off, in the tapered area on the inside it's actually almost pleated to the set! I think walkerk got pictures of that-maybe he'll post them.

Well, Thaaaaat's all Folks!

The kids got tired at that point and began campaigning to go home:





Be well,
