scarf lovin

Put up some new items in my shop, mostly scarves. I can't stop making cowls and infinity scarves so hopefully others love them as much as I do. I plan to make autumn and winter cozy and warm with soft wools and comfy hats. In the next few weeks I will be expanding my inventory, bettering my shipping methods and seeking good, quality materials. I have some yarns on my list to buy but I always have trouble finding trustworthy suppliers with good prices and good yarn so if any of you crafters have some suggestions please let me know. :) I'd be happy to share my knowledge of yarns, shipping supplies and Etsy shops with you too, my mailbox is always open. neenanoelart@gmail.com

There are only actions and reactions.

Life goes on, the Earth continues to spin.

I finally got a replacement computer charger. I have power! Re-taught myself how to knit a few days ago. I love yarn, I love wool, I want to just curl up with a basket of yarn and ease all of my stress. Opening my shop back up tonight or tomorrow.

It will work out, everything will fall into place.

Happy Sunday. 🐱 I had a weekend full of camping, music and art with my bestest friends and my painterly mother. Now I'm ready to just relax and maybe make myself a cup of tea. 😙🍵 🌙
I desperately got my phone replaced this weekend after discovering that my computer charger had broken, so I'll just be using this for now which means I'll unfortunately have to keep my shop closed a little bit longer than planned. And I also won't be able to upload any pictures from my camera for a while either! The plus side is that I'll have some extra time to crochet some new pieces and work on some of my other projects. No computer, no problem!



Annnnnnnd I got a henna tattoo, this new outfit, shirt, shorts and all and a bunch of other new clothes from a clothing exchange tent at the LA Decompression Party. Yay for free clothes! I thought a little bit about starting my own clothing exchange online. Like maybe gather a group of bloggers who all send each other one item and then continue to pass it on to other bloggers? Sound like fun?

I'll get down on myself about the stupid things I've done or the embarrassing situations that I've gotten myself into. I feel like people immediately judge me for some reason or think less of me because of the problems that I cause in my own life.
I wonder what people truly think of me or what they would say about me, but then I realize that though some people are seemingly normal and seem to keep themselves out of trouble, every body has their stories, their memories, their mistakes and their mishaps. Every body hits a rough patch and every body has done something they're not proud of.
Everybody has had different experiences but really we're not all that different from each other.

look who's back

and comin' back

with a vengeance.. >.<

First of all, here's a little update on my shop: Motavations is currently on vay-cay until I can fill her up with a bunch of new goodies. I'll be throwing product previews at you like this extra-long, chunky, winter hat that I designed almost a year ago.
I'm currently in a state of confusion, trying to decide whether to make lots of custom order pieces or more one of a kind, ready to ship items. I'm sure custom orders will sell better, but I think there's something really special about making one unique item with no duplicates so people have an opportunity to own something that's truly one of a kind. I hope to get some feedback on my previews to help me decide whether to sell singles or customs of items.

Now most importantly! My bff, Charisma, is probably coming to room with me soon and she just so happens to be a very talented, crafty girl. I already have some dream catcher earrings of hers in my room which I'll be putting up in my shop when I open it back up. She will be the first new member of my shop, so coming soon is the new and improved Motavations! I have lots of talented friends and lots of collab ideas in mind so hopefully we can work together on some projects without goofing off too much, haha. Here's to more good times.!

I came back from a trip to Long Beach to the chilly autumn weather that I've been waiting for. I hope it stays this way so I can keep my sweater on and crank out some scarves.

In other news: 

New blog favorites: sennaloves.blogspot, I love your blog and your knits are great. And thanks to her I also found woolandthegang.tumblr which is also full of yarn lover inspiration. 

I'm going to go do a rain dance right now and try to re-teach myself to knit today.

Last winter I took some pictures of the snow:
