    Hello from Nova Scotia

    Hi,
    I'm Julia, from Nova Scotia.. the "other" official land of the Kilt I have landed here so many times over the past 2-3 years, while searching for something Kilt related,and then always ended up lurking around for a while, that I finally decided to join.

    I have been a kilt lover forever ~Ever since my dad casually mentioned to me once when I was about 6 or so that our ancestors came from Scotland. Since I haven't figured out how to move there yet, I do feel that moving to Nova Scotia was kinda like hitting the jackpot as Kilt wearers abound here.

    I myself do not yet have a kilt, but i am working on that. Since I sew, I always figured i should make my own, and just never had the time. Now i find I do have the time, and my hope is to finally have one ready to wear to the Burns night dinner i attend every year. (which means I need to get moving on that)

    As i said, I myself, do not yet own a kilt. But, my cat does. Which i will be happy to post a picture of, as soon as I figure out how!

    Really looking forward to meeting everyone, and sharing our love of kilts

    Hello and welcome from Southern California. I think trying to get a kilt on our cat might prove a bit painful...for me, not the cat.

    Hi Julia, welcome to Xmarks. As a lover of both cats and kilts, I would love to see a pic of your kilted cat, not something one sees every day.

    Thanks Dughlas mor I will post a picture of my kilt wearing cat as soon as I can figure out how to post it. I have been on these types of forums before so I know "HOW" to post them. I have the pics both on my computer and also in photobucket and right now can't seem to get it to work either way. But I will win this battle eventually. Once I post the picture I will also explain why I embarked on such a fools mission to begin with.. lol

    Thanks for the welcome Tomak, and trust me, getting the cat into the kilt did not exactly go as smoothly as I saw in my mind. The sewing of the kilt was nothing compared to convincing an angry 24lb cat that it was a good idea to wear it. :P

    Hello Julia. Welcome to X Marks. That was a wonderful introduction. Good luck on you kilt making adventures, there are many here who can help you with that.

    Glad you chose to share your love of the kilt with the rabble and I look forward to your participation.

He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.
