A little slowing down now is better than and earlier retirement down the road. I can say this as I currently do not have an order in with you, otherwise I be up in Stratford dragging your caboose back to your sewing machine!

cool and while you're here I'll get you to stamp out the leather billets, buckle straps...and if your good you might even get to set the rivets....
Ther are days though that early retirement is rather attractive but only when it's cognative or not 6ft under.

You HAVE the material to make mine... At least I have an EXCUSE why I can't start YOURS yet. The material isn't here! It's tough to sew air and make it fit.

Maybe I'll just send you a box full of thread and tell you it's a "clear kilt". Emporer's new clothes!

Today Kelly went to the Flower show in Philly with her Mom and sisters. We had gotten all of the Rush orders done yesterday (even the ones ordered AFTER March 5th) and so we were all caught up. The problem is... with her gone, I had to answer the phones, write emails, place orders to Scotland, accept packages and put away new inventory and interact with customers all with no assistance. Didn't get 1 stitch done today. I know what you mean about distractions...

Such is life in a shop.

Robert, you always accidently make Rocky's kilt out of hot pink leather and then claim it was the drugs.

That'll learn him!

Thanks Blu... we caught it in time...since I rarely take drugs (an aspirin every 5 years) the IV is working very well. (Knock on kilt)

Does anyone else notice that our kiltmakers are on this forum much longer than the regular working stiffs who have to send a months salary to them so that they will hopefully be kind, get off that dang computer

,put down their ninth drink

int: and maybe make us our kilt.
Is it any surprise that one customer sent Robert a pouch of hemp seeds for his new kilt, knowing that it may be quicker that way!

OK,

over.
Have fun
