Welcome to Hyperloop Hoops, and the World of the Wiggle.

Profile Information

Location:
Swansea, South Wales
About Me:
I live in South Wales with my partner Jon where we run Hyperloop Hoops. I started life as a microbiologist, but soon had to give it up due to ill health. I then got the crafting bug and started to make anything and everything I could. It's become a life long habit now.

Two years ago I took up hula hooping to get fit. I started to make my own hoops as the commercially made hoops are usually of a very low quality and way too small for adults to use. Everywhere I went hooping people started to come over to me and ask me about hoops. Then they would ask me where I got my hoops from. The conversations quite frequently ended with me agreeing to make someone else a hoop. It was then that I decided to start up Hyperloop Hoops and spread the love of the wiggle.

I also have a store at etsy selling hats, blankets, and clothes for babies to join the Pirate Pixie Crew. I may add adult hats to the listings if people ask for them.

The Story of Captain Skulduggery Dug.

My new shop has a theme that started out with this tale. I hope you enjoy it!


Captain Skulduggery Dug was tired of all the scurrilous scurvy dogs in her ships crew. They stole from her, drank all her rum and never did the washing up! Cap'n Skully decided enough was enough and she made them all walk the plank into shark infested waters. One by one they were all gobbled up never to be seen again. All were left to sleep in Davy Jones’ locker.… Continue

Made by the hands of Skulduggery

Today I opened up another shop at etsy, Pirate Pixie Crew, to sell children's items. So far I've not posted much in there due to it being so dark today photographing anything is a tad difficult. I rigged up a light box, but most of the colours of items came out completely wrong as I didn't have any daylight bulbs to use. I ordered some, so they should get here in a day or 2 and I'll be able to have another go.

Oddly enough it happened to coincide… Continue

Autum Sunshine

Today I woke up to bright sunshine. Sunshine = smiles in my house. I love the sun, its warmth and light. I'm not looking forward to winter and the dark nights, but let’s not think of that whilst the glorious sun shines in an azure sky. I did all the things I needed to do, such as read emails and check over orders and then I went out into the sunny day.

The pot plants looked a bit neglected so I gave them some water and food. The tomatoes still haven't ripened. I'm…

Fire Hoops

Today the quest to make fire hoops began in earnest. Up to this point we had been batting ideas back and forth and trying to think of ways to create a better fire hoop than those already on sale, but had never actually started to build any prototypes.

After much searching for components and many rejected ideas, we had a go at building our first one today. We soon realised that we need a better workspace to do this in and maybe need to find ourselves some welding gear.... or maybe just a… Continue

Chocolate!

Dear Mayan Gold Green and Blacks Chocolate

I'm so glad I have you in my life. You are there whenever I need you. Just the mere thought of you sets the endorphins in my brain rushing. No matter how down or ill I feel you make it all seem so much better. Your dark, smooth texture, with rich bitter sweet flavours. The hint of orange as you melt on my tongue. Please promise me you will never leave.

Love always
Lynne.

ahhh alright, I see now. I'd like to get to that point but as of yet I am not there. I make my living making my jewelry and do the performance art as kind of an aside for now. Thank you for the definition, though. *hugs* Thanks for the friend add too.
