March Progress & Finishes


March started with a Highland dance competition, then band weekend, Celtic festival and now finished with another large highland dance competition.  I organize 6 competitions a year, one is the first weekend of March, another, the first weekend of April.  This year that means organizing for both happens in March!  YUCK!   Here are a couple of photos of the Kilts & Jackets I made dancing at the Celtic Festival.
My first Kilt made - Raspberry Menzies!
