Y'all folks are like a disease!

I've only been here a little while and I have already contracted a serious case of jonesing. I am very close to sealing a deal on a kilt. I have contacted artificer about a sporran. Made an order from both stillwater and Rocky. I am getting visions of a mackie bonnet in my near future. I've made a couple inquiries into custom clan badges as well as to another sporran maker. I'm a very sick man!

Yeah, we do have that effect on folks, don't we!

Carry on, and best wishes for all the new kit.

You are not sick---only bitten by the bug. As long as you are making the mortgage, putting food on the table, getting the kids through college, and setting something aside for your later years (kilted, of course), and not doing anything illegal or immoral along the way, you can spend your "discretionary income" on whatever hobby or lifestyle you please, and should do so guilt free. Just remember, no white kilt hose, tartan ties, flatcaps, or dishonoring the tartan, and you should do fine. Kilt on.

Warrior,

Welcome to our addiction.

We prefer the term "enablers"

I agree! Well said!

Dear Forrester,

You did have to share the pain... Now I think I understand. Thankfully I am not Jonesing for anything... yet. I am making most of what I want at the moment.

But it is hard to sleep when you know that you could sew just one more seam and that problem that you were in the middle of when you had to go to bed could be fixed. And then you could start on the next....

I guess that could be a sewing version of the jones. now to finish my job and do some more sewing.

Your Obedient Servant,

Karl
