A long overdue update!

I haven't posted an update for a while.  Now my phone is fixed I can take photos again.  I've done some more work on the half circles, although I still have concerns about the shape, and the jap in one twisted while I was plunging it.  I'm leaving that for now to see if Tracy has some magic trick to fix it!  Also, a lot has gone on in the centre circle, some felt padding in the middle, and string padding around that to create the doughnut shape, then I covered it all with silk.  The cutwork has been tricky, it has been a lot further around the circle a couple of times now, but come back out again because the angle was wrong, the spacing was wrong or it all just went wrong!!!  As a result of this, I'm starting to gain confidence, but I'm still not getting the angle right.  Maybe it will come with a few more tries!
