I had that kind of day yesterday...a day of waiting for things to arrive so
I could work. Unfortunately, I was at work, so couldn't even work on home
projects!
Keep plugging along with that hoop, it'll be beautiful when it's done.

Do you know how it is when you know the post wil come to you today with a
packet of things you have longed for a long time?
I have it like that today. Awaiting a large packet with cotton laces from a
scottish lace factory. I have ordered home for more than 700 pounds
sterling and i cant get much made today.
And then the work you have to do is so tedious and uninterresting. Marking
in the rows for crinoline steel in a hoop.
This time i want to try and make the hoop with padded panels along the top
bones, in order to keep the tension of the side extensions nice and smooth
for the skirts.
I have looked very close after a fashion print of Galleries des Modes where
a millinery lady is delivering goods, amungst other things a hoop wich she
carries under her arms. Also the small hoop from V&A has padding, so i
guess its ok to do it.
When i get my laces, i think i am going to explode of excitement.
