[Alan H]

Hear, hear!

Yes, thanks to all of you who inspire me to try all sorts of things.

Kilt On!

You know, it's kind of funny you saying that. My wife fell for me because I cooked for her. Now that I make skirts and kilts fot the both of us, she's absolutely over the moon about it. She wears the skirts I've made for her at every opportunity. I guess if my wife and I ever have sons, I'll just have to make sure they know how to cook and sew so that they can catch an Xmarks type of lass.

it's kinda funny...thats how mine fell for me as well LOL.

That is something my wife and friends really appreciate. As I have said recently on another Thread, I do all the groceries, cook the meals for the whole family AND clean the kitchen afterwards.. Sometimes Lady Chrystel will have the drill, hammer and scewdriver fixing things around the house while I'll be chopping up onnions and green peppers with the kids around me.
Exciting !

Well, that applies to me as well. I love to cook and have been told I do it well. In a day where everyone my age seems to eat just fast food or has their parents do everything, I feel kind of odd being the guy that cooks. Not that I feel it is a bad thing, just different. I guess crafts were just the next step in the process!

We'll all make lovely wives some day.

...good thing too. My spouse can't sew. She's a heck of a whitewater instructor though.

I've been inside a creative industry for almost 25 years. I've seen people fight in design board meetings about colors and sizes. One year on this forum site has inspired me more than all the previous time.

Kudos to this lot.

Don't forget to teach them how to knit!

yeah, well.

I've been told by many people that it's a good thing I can cook... my wife is completely lost in the kitchen...unless microwave instructions are involved.

Without this forum I'd never have come to wearing kilts at ALL, much less making them!

I'm pretty sure that this is true for me as well, Alan.
