madPete

my glass is always broken on the floor and milk everywhere and me with no slippers on

Do we need to get you a sippy cup too

ROTDLMAO!!

I can just see Callenish with a sippy cup full of warm milk:P

Great News Fayma! Whoooo eeeeehhhh!!!

I guess we know why it looks like that ... eh!

I made a shortcoat of tartan wool some months back for my Highlander/Jacobite kit... just curious if it would be to outlandish to wear it with a pirate kit?

I have seen several plates with sailors wearing tartan breeches and slops but have yet to see any reenactors wearing tartan for pirate events...

What say ye?

tell ya what - I'll test the waters fer ya and let ya knew what they say about it.

Seriously, it's pretty sweet. I'd just go fer it. Though its plaid it seems pretty subdued next to some I've seen

All you seadogs and scallywags have a good time there! I'm envious

Maybe next year... sigh...

Number 21...

Or being stuck in Canada and not allowed to come home to your wife....either way.

Right. That was winter.

And it was 116 buttons, but we've replaced a few...who's counting?

thats 95 more buttons than mine

Mickey you are the man! Geez, no wonder ya makes buttons, if ya put 116 brass/pewter buttons on yer coat and fell overboard, ye be in Davy Jones locker! (not ta mention the cost).

Sorry Kate, I feel fer ya both...

hmm... I feel the need ta draw a comic comin on...

i think i need a second one...(with less buttons)

less buttons?!? wot r ya doin with alla dem fancy buttons ya ben stitchin, shootin em from yer flintlock!!??!

Has anyone come close to Mickey Souris' count... wot was that 150???

Now that is pure punishment... or long winters:D

Figures

Can dress ye up but cannot take ye any where... all this work embroidering yer green coat and all yer gonna do is get snot on it...

At least St Pattie's day is coming up

Aye it sounds like bad news, but let's not jump to conclusions too soon... Things have a way of working themselves out given some time... We don't know all the details yet.

Number 20...

At my age, I'd rather forget them. But doesn't stop me from wishing others well...

Have a great Birthday and do somethin ya enjoy mate!

OH wait... next one (project) will be even better........

funny thing is... that sleeved waistcoat was gonna be practice! I wasn't too sure about the wool and never did sleeves before (except shirts). But I like it more every time I look at it.

An artist and a fellow seamster! Man you got some mad talents...

Jerk of all trades, master of none!

so--- what is next on your to do list???? LOL!!

wool breeches... No... really!

(it never ends, there's always something else I needs ta make)

Thanks fer the compliments! Maybe the next event, I'll look a bit different from day ta day, though Kate said I needed to roll in the dirt cause I looked so new

My new waistcoats... thought I would show off some progress (finally).

The sleeved version is lightweight wool tweed with linen lining based on RH pattern, the sleeveless one (a long version of the one I wore at PIP) is linen and its reversible - seafoam green on the other side. Which I plan to fancy up with some black trim in case of special occasion.

Button holes and flaps on the pockets still remain with a few puckers to fix, but their close. I'm sick of button holes!!!!

Thanks to Callenish fer the plentiful brass buttons, Mickey Souris fer the pattern reference and William Redwake fer the Monmouth!

Hope to see you scallywags soon at another event.

Number 19...

The latest I just started below. I've got books stacked and queued up to read... must be all those trips to the used book store and the Library where they sell off the older stuff (and donations) that no longer circulate...

I tend to collect the hardcovers of books I like, damn my eyes... need more shelves now...

Callenish!

Please PM MorganTyre your Shipping address. You're all taken care of...

Thanks for the Brass buttons you scallywag!

chortle... snicker...

Number . . . 18 Wow!

Number 17...

Being Saturday morning (when I am typing this it is, anyhow), it only seems appropriate to come up with a cartoon we would all regard as a classic. This for all of you who, like me, used to waste your Saturday mornings camped in front of the TV in your PJs eating sugar-laden cereal watching cartoons:

Buccaneer Bunny

Leave it Mission to come up with just the right medicine.

Tho they dint show no seerynge...

Aye, that is indeed a very nice blade.

one of these days... I needs to get me one of 'em!

Number 15...

Aye, how much did ya pay em mate?

Seriously - way to go Mission! tis good to see a positive article like that.

Have a great one!
