    Mustard tweed double-box

    Hi all...

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Hahaha. Thanks Rex. It still took me a lot of time to whip it up into a wearable form. Still needs a lot of work on the inside.
    Thanks.
