throwback thursday

photos from: January 22, 2014

hello, beautiful people! this is my first blog post in years, since I stopped posting a while ago and focused my attention on other social media networks.. but I just recently decided to bring back my blog, and since it's Thursday I chose to start off the new blog with a throwback. I definitely have a sweet spot for reminiscence and nostalgia, I love looking through old photos and reminding myself of all the good days that I've experienced. so, this is my new place to share all the good days, life changing experiences and the beauty of my little world, past and present. 

these photos in particular are of one of the many custom orders that I've made. some of my best products are made thanks to custom order requests. I love making a persons dream for their perfect top come true, and I especially love seeing the individuality that goes into every different persons choices. this top came out so sweet and pretty with delicate ruffle detail and light blue and purple colors. I've never made another just like it, so this one is truly one-of-a-kind. ♡

This is where I blog about things. I'm really not that much of a blogger, 

but I like to post pictures and stuff. Oh, and I crochet a lot.

 I also have my own online shop called noelebelle

where I sell the things that I make.

I finished this sweet custom order for a rasta fringe bikini top and I've also been working on some little extras for the shop. I guess every one's getting ready for summer by showing off their One Love pride!

I've been doing nothing but filling orders for the past ten days. Most of my orders are for the same fringe bikini top in various colors and sizes. Because of that I haven't bothered to document everything and instead I've been putting most of my energy into my shop. There are a lot of time consuming aspects of running it even though Etsy makes it pretty easy there's still effort in packaging, shipping, marketing, advertising, keeping everything up to date, communicating with customers, making improvements and of course, creating the products to meet my buyers expectations. Oh, and my computer has been damaged and the tracking pad isn't working properly which has been making blogging and other computer work pretty difficult. But there's always time to crochet!

I know my posts are usually clumped together and not as frequent as they were in the beginning. I thought that maybe I could really make something new, that I've never made before, every single day but now I realize how impractical that sounds considering some of my projects take a few days to complete and I still have a shop to run. I'm not going anywhere though I might be terrible at documenting and I'm definitely not going to stop making awesome stuff. If I don't blog for a while, don't think that I've quit, I'll just be working and crocheting in the background.

make something days eighty-six&eighty-seven

For the past two days I've just been filling shop orders, but I have a few projects up my sleeve that I intend to carry out soon.

seventy-nine through eighty-five

A bow a day. I finished my bow ring project and even got them up for sale. I made a whole rainbow but I have even more colors available in my shop. These are so much fun to make, I really hope that the public likes them as much as I do. You could even pick out a bow ring to match your bikini top, how adorable would that be? You can check these rings out on Etsy and look for the rainbow on my facebook page for a special offer. :)

Today I made a bow ring, yes, a bow on a ring. I'm really excited to add these to my shop, but I don't want to over work myself by making a bunch of them all in one day, so I'm going to make a different color every day for the next six or seven days until I have a whole rainbow of bows! That will save me from having to think up different projects this week too because even though I'm capable of making something every day and I consider myself to be a creative person, sometimes it's hard to get inspired. But I always love working on new products and filling orders for my shop.

Today I made a simple silver bracelet with a single coral bead in the middle. I'm just piling on new wrist candy and so far all of the bracelets that I'm wearing have been made this year thanks to my 'make something' project.
