The waiting game

I'm on a bit of a hiatus at the moment - have sent some wool samples to one of the hard working elves in England, including some of my dyed wool. So now I am waiting for them to arrive there and then for me to get the go ahead.

*cue impatient thumb twiddling*

In other news, I've got a very exciting parcel on the way - my hubby bought me some arrows for my birthday!! After much searching and number crunching, I decided to go with Richard Head longbows in the UK - believe it or not, even with the postage it is the same price as getting them made for me here. I would like to make my own one day, but that too was a similar cost - and I am keen to just get shooting! Richard makes some gorgeous re-enactment arrows, and I know they will look awesome with my bow.

The next project is to make myself a quiver, or arrow bag. I'm leaning towards the cloth bags, with a leather arrow spacer. Bigbrowbrum does an excellent tutorial on YouTube for these. 

So, back to the waiting game for me - for my arrows, and my all clear! I think I'll make a nice cup of tea...
