After spending too much time tripping over, bendinding over, and moving too many things in the shop I have come to the enevitable conclusion that I have once again allowed too many projects to pile up undone X(
Note to self, and advice to anyone thinking of taking up a hobby,
ALWAYS FINISH PROJECTS BEFORE STARTING OTHERS!

Just getting into a magazine a friend is loaning me on primitive archery. There is a lengthy article on making bowstring, what the different peoples used, and how they made individual knots, etc. I have been practicing making string out of plant fibers, also known as cordage so it has proven very interesting reading.
Finished my possible bag for rendezvous, and will just add any decorative touches if I feel the inspiration. Meantime I hope to get busy with a belt bag. This will be my "man's purse" as some would call it at the encampment. There is plenty of heavy leather, I just need to make sure of the design before any cutting. Can't put back what's been taken off.

Hmm, I'm sure my life is interesting somehow =P

Well, I ride/train my horse, Lady Zara and train my miniature horse Milly. They're so much fun ^_^
I also do archery, photography, make videos with friends, read, and...I'm sure there's more. XD I'll probably think of something else later.

As most of you know, I do archery (hey Fay_River, you do archery too!!! YAY! what kind traditional or competative?), and recently I ordered myself a bow and it finally came (well some time ago, but I only had time to shoot from it recently). It is really awesome. It is a reconstruction of a 13th century Hungarian bow (which goes for Russia, since that is what I am reenacting). It is wooden with linen dippen in fiberglass insteaad of animal ligaments to keep the two shoulders of the bow together. And the final touch are bull horns on the ends! AAAAAAA I am soooo crazy about it. It will take some time getting used to (and I already broke a couple of arrows :ymblushing: ), but I hope to start going to competitions soon. And here is a picture of my bow :D
