Here on Jones St. wondering: What are you Jonesing For?

**Panache** · 13th July 06, 06:41 PM

Well all, I'm still sitting here on the curb of Jones St.

I got my X-Marks kilt pin from the KiltedCodewarrior*, it's sitting on my dresser waiting for my first custom kilt from Matt Newsome. I've emailed Freelander Sporrano about my Freelander Sporran. I'm waiting for him to reply. I'm jonesing for my kilt, I'm jonesing for my sporran. I'm thinking it's been a long, long time since I've been this excited about waiting for something. It makes me feel like a kid again... and that isn't such a bad thing.

Cheers

* If you don't have one you should PM him, they are quite cool

Well, the only things I am jonesing for (as in ordered and waiting to be delivered!) are my XMarks kilt, box-pleated, from Matt, and my Xmarks t-shirt from MBHandy. But I am feeling serious kilt buying withdrawals (I have not purchased a new kilt in at least 2 months!) and I have so many on my list. And of course Ham had to post a pic of his Brittany Walking kilt (#63)! That is one sweet looking kilt!

So many kilts, so little time....

I ordered a new 6-yard muted MacNaughton from Caledonian Kilts, and heard from Davey that it shipped on Monday. Let's see, with luck I'll have it next Monday. arrrgh!

I modified my Bearkilt muted MacNaughton for a clan buddy, and I wish we'd get together for the exchange. I"ve been looking at the thing for too long.

...and of course my X Marks Kilt (make it myself)

Panache, I believe David is on holidays for another week or two. I remember him mentioning it, but I could be wrong.

The only order I'm waiting for is for 8 yards of macewen muted tartan.

Then I'm waiting for myself to stop being lazy, to make two kilts for myself (MacFarlane and MacEwen muted)

Oh....I don't envy you that wait! I had to wait an entire week for my first kilt and it seemed like forever.

Now I'm waiting on my second and third UK originals because I like my first one so much....and I just can't wait. I'm going to see if I can buy a couple in Flagstaff this weekend.

I mean....if I only have one kilt, what happens if I spill something on it???

Material for a Ferguson Mod 5 yard wool
Custom woven material for a Muted MacEwen 8 yarder with Fly plaid.

Kelly's Jonesing for custom woven material for a NEW Stewart tartan (unofficial...for now) that she has wanted for a LONG time.

Colin,

Thanks for the information. I was wondering why I didn't hear back for him. When I inquired about the price of a particular sporran last month he got back to me immediately. Now I can afford it, I'm just hoping he still has it.

Cheers

YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!

Just got an email from Matt Newsome to say my Galbraith Ancient 16oz. 5 yard knife pleated kilt is finished and will be mailed in the morning! It will be here Friday, just in time for me to wear to Saturday's Highland Games in Felton, CA and later that evening to my first actual Scottish Country Dance in Cupertino!*

I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

Can't wait to wear it with my lovely Freelander and my X Marks the Scot kilt pin and another accessory I finished today!

Cheers Everyone!

* I only have had 4 classes with the Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess so we are both a little nervous about going to our first dance.
