    Nice job...the bug is great
    I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

    Umm... you made a mistake...

    Your stitch-lines are way too straight! None of my gear looks like that...

    nice job!
