    Re: New dress sporran for Bob

    I'd say that is a fine looking husband and Bob is lucky to have such a talented wife.

    Cheers

Must practice up if I am ever to make something worthy of the cantles that Artificer is creating, and after which I lust!
    No laughing matter at al! Finishing off trim still always give me the hee-bee-gee-bees. It's an amazingly SIMPLY procedure that is CHOCK-full of risk. One bad cut and you've ruined quite a lot of work (and believe me, I've been there.).
    PM sent BTW.

    As for the cantles I'm making, you don't even want to get near the frightening amount of adrenaline and stress hormones that are rolling through me as I cut and machine a $200 dollar piece of silver! (for one face)

    I could poison an entire village's water supply with the chemicals my body is producing! . Brass is slightly less stressful.

    It's plain to see why the "Retired" title is attached to your moniker Jamie. I am the husband and she made a sporran for me. And I am indeed a lucky man.

    Well Bob you DO dress up nice, especially with all that finery Sydnie makes for you!

    I bet Syndie would agree with the you being a "fine looking husband" so I think I'm safe even in my typos!

    Safe you are Jamie. I am a lucky man and she does create some fine finery for me. I guess the two of us are very lucky men.

    You two look wonderful. I think I recall that you altered and customized his jacket too... what a lucky fellow!
