Blog no 1.

Posted on July 24th, 2008 by jowanna

First of all I have to say a big THANK YOU  to Will for setting up this site for me and for making a very generous donation to the cause! (-: Ive been a bit scared to log in and do anything myself as I am not very computer compitent and was worried i might delete the whole thing by mistake!

This week I have made a few hoops with what supplies I already have. Unfortunatly I have run out of hoop connectors and am having problems getting more in the correct size. In the meantime I have some substitutes which I can use, but they require filing down to size so it is a bit of a tedious task. Hopefully my search for the perfect connector will be over soon! Since I have been waiting somewhat on supplies I decided to have a play around with making some novelty type hoops, covering themwith different materials than the usual tape. I havent produced anything too spectacular but its been fun experimenting and I shall probably play around some more.

World Hoop Day is only a couple of weeks away and as yet I have no deffinate plans for it and dont even know which city I shall be in. Im hoping the weather warms up slightly for it though – I have been wearing so many layers of clothing the past coupleof days hooping seems out of the question, lol!

    No worries Jow! I’ve enjoyed making this site. I’m glad you got the courage up to play with it! ;-)

    Awesome little website here Jow! Thank you for the BUTTERFLY hoop.. I hope to use it (thus debut) it for WHD :) Photos will be forth-coming for your site :) If you ever need a “model” … hehehe

    You may want to extend your reach to not just disadvantaged children, why not adults? Having a simple hula hoop and doing some hooping (be it dancing or just playing around with tricks) can bring joy to many disadvantaged teens and adults… and hopefully give them joy.

    This is also a great way to show the world that you don’t have to have the latest gadgets or video games to experience joy..

    Wishing you all the best. I shall help where-ever I can as well (in spreading “the word” about your website).
