double hooping in the cold! hennakim 2015-01-18 | brrrr...39 degrees in Austin, not as fluid as usual, lol! I hadn't been able to hoop much in weeks, my muscles were cold & stiff, my boots had heels (I prefer to hoop barefoot!) & I was wearing too many layers, but still it felt so good to get out there for my weekly hoop meetup (2 more people showed up despite the cold!!). The fantastic hood/scarf was hand crocheted by Michelle Arsenault of Raveled Fibers in Santa Cruz.Jan 2015 Hot Mama's courtyard
