Hello all, I have not been around in a while, internet has been down. Good news is, today I was measured for my Baghdad Kilt. It was quite a task. Even with Barbs book, the dialogue was difficult. The conversions to metric, the material selection, the proper pleating. It was a task. I spent twenty minutes and used two interperters to make sure she understood that I wanted a kilt made from Iraqi Wool. For a while there I was scared, as I thought she was going to make me a furry kilt made from the skin. I also received some wonderful songs via email from Steve (semper fi) and that takes care of my music for Burns night. Haggis is still enroute and I will have to send an email to celedonia.

Bad news....a blog reader found my blog and wrote some pretty nasty things about me. I visited his site at www.welcometowallyworld.com, and left him my reply. boy this guy is hateful. He copies a photo from my blog of me in a kilt, and uses it to call me a cross dresser and a bunch of other slang and derrogatory names. How the world hates what they do not understand.

The seamstress asked for $30 up front, (cant wait to see what the total is, if it comes out good, I am getting a steal) and it will be ready in a week. I will email all the photos to Barb as she is the one that sent me the book and will allow her to post them as she likes.
