I know I was warned by everyone here that kilts are addictive.
I should have listened
I'm already trying to figure which tartan to get next.

I'm very interested to see how your badger sporran comes out. I started one many moons ago, but allowed 6 or 12 other projects to intervene. With your prodding, maybe it will come back to the top of the list.

I have enough badger to make two sporrans

Personally, I really like that collection of "toys" you have placed around the fireplace.

Oh yeah, the kilt's nice too.

Nice kilt!! However, what really caught my eye are the two flintlock pistols on the mantle. Something I've always wanted to get into.

Hey Joe, great looking kilt! I know you'll enjoy wearing that one around town. Now in the second pic is a table with what looks like petrified wood for legs! Am I correct? Your home looks wonderful.
