    Barb's Book!

    TORTURE!

    My copy of "The Art of Kiltmaking" arrived in the mail today. (Wife's Christmas gift to me) but she won't let me even LOOK at it until after Christmas!

    Great gift!

    She knows if she lets you get your hands on it, you'll do nothing else for the rest of the season!

    Be well,

    Just be thankful that your gift-giving night isn't Twelfth Night, when the three Kings bring the gifts!

    It is a fantastic book. Well worth waiting 13 more days!

    I've bought The Book for my needle-and-thread handy sister, who is disabled now and is always looking for sources of a little extra income. I though kilt making might be one way to make some cash. And, of course, she'll need to make a couple of practice kilts before she tries to sell any. If only she knew someone who wear kilts...
