    I'm baaack.

    A rough couple of years it has been..I retired from the Navy August of 2011..they drove me about half crazy..literally..60% disability for some "Post Trauma" (it is not, but that is what they call it) issues...and good luck finding a job...I had begun a tree service and landscaping business, which fell through as I wound up with tendonitis..which is just peachy, So now I hunt job, and farm our little plot of ground..pigs and goat and chickens oh my...and eight gardens this year..maybe an acre all told...anyhow, enough whining, I pulled out a box pleat kilt that I started like a year ago to go to a science fiction convention..the print is about the same pattern as the cloaks Galadreil gave the Fellowship of the Ring in LOTR, and finished it off hte other night...and I am currently working on a Duck Dynasty Special...a box pleat made of REALTree camo...I cut fabric to make two of those, and two denim box pleats for the garden chores this spring..and while I was cursing and sticking pins in my hide pinning down the fell pleats on this one, I though of you guys and came on back...lol.

    Welcome back, Llwyd. Your punishment for having been away so long is to take lots of photographs of the kilts you are working on and post them here.

    As to your work situation, I can sympathise - I am in the same boat. Good luck.

    Regards

    Chas

    I will certainly try to get some pictures up soon...I just finished pinning a couple of kilts...a denim and camo, and am pinning one more of each since I had enough material to make two of each....maybe next is a Carhartt duck jobby...
