about me
I'm a maker of hoops, hats, wick covers, bags, and clothes. I try to live life to the full but my body sometimes argues with me as I have M.E. I share my life with a fantabulously gorgeous man called Jon, who puts up with my illness, mood swings and general weirdness. He makes me smile even on bad days and makes good days into amazing days. Together we set up and run www.hyperloophoop.com. I also run www.skully.etsy.com my shop that creates Pirate Pixies out of the little people in our lives.

The Art of Never Growing Up

Some time back I wrote a blog entry about my health and how hard I was finding it to accept my situation. I just wanted to update this blog with how things are going now. Over all my health is still the same. I still have all the pain, tiredness, nausea and brain fog. I still find day to day life annoying and restrictive. I still have a million and one plans and aspiration running around in my head and I still wish I could gain a better level of balance of my condition, but I am learning to l... read more

Summer is finally here, so last weekend we packed up and went to Poole for the Southern Lights Festival. The word "went" makes it sound so simple, but it was a bit of a stress filled day on the Friday, as after loading up the van with a stall, 107 hoops, boxes of Pirate Pixie Crew hats and camping gear, we couldn't get the van to start. We had to try jump starting it, which worked, but as the engine revved the exhaust fell off! The damn thing had rusted through completely and wasn't going to ... read more

I'm so damn sleepy today. I got up at 6.30 to see Jon off to work and then I came back to bed, but couldn't get back to sleep because Weapon X decided he was going to hassle me for food, even though he had already been fed. I now find that it's nearly 4pm in the afternoon and I'm so tired I could just go to bed and sleep. All I've managed to achieve today is to sew up a hat I knitted yesterday and tape 2 hoops. Other than that all I managed to do is lay on the bed yawning and trying to stay a... read more

It's only just over a week until the Southern Lights festival and we have been making up stock for our stall. We have so many hats and hoops either made up and wrapped or waiting to be finished off that you can hardly move in our house. The hoops are piled up in both the back living room, front living room and on the landing upstairs. The back bedroom has boxes of hats ready to go alongside boxes of wool and rovings waiting to be made up into more hats and spiky hair ties. The dining room tab... read more

So the last few weeks have had a few ups and downs and this week isn't turning out to be all that different. I guess if life was always ups we would fall off the top too soon and die... or float off into space... or maybe implode... hmmm my brain is being a bit wobbly this morning. Ignore my silliness.

Jon has been cleaning, fixing and renovating the van. It's his new obsession. He managed to get loads of free carpet from a carpet fitter... sadly for Jon the carpet was rose pink, but he i... read more
