Ha! LOL! Sorry... I only have little boys that think Legolas is cool. No Orlandos! My oldest is still bugging me for the "arrow holder" (ie sheath) to go with his bow and arrow set: "Legolas has a holder for HIS arrows"! Gotta love these little ones!

I love these ëars". That is so totally cute. Wonder if a little one I know would like some

I would also love to see a crocheted quiver... now that would be way beyhond neat. I have a couple of Pringles containers that might just fit inside for safety's sake. more

ing to do on that one.
