Creative juices trickle more than flow...

Ideally, I would love to have my hands do the creative good and make use of all of the materials I have amassed (nearly hoarded).  I don't know if you can relate to that feeling when you walk over to an area that needs your attention, whether it be creative activity or the simple act of tidying up, and you stop...stare...walk away.  This time I had direction.  I made a bracelet for my mother and here's what it looks like.

Do I have more going on?  I wish...I hope to keep creating until there is nothing left.  The general idea is to donate portions of the proceeds to those in need and save the rest to move abroad and teach.  This motivation will hopefully supercede my consistent procrastination.  I have a few ideas, and I shall share them (as well, as the cool things I find along the way.  I'm excited to see what cool things I find abroad.  Motivated!!).

Until next time...(www.facebook.com/euralee)

Eura Cool (to me) #3 is coming...

Indeed it is coming....BUT there is so much Cool-ness, that it's hard to focus (in addition to being a procrastinator)...I'm going to choose three..or four..or three.  I'm very certain.  I think?

Eura Cool (to Me) #1

As I read through the various ways to promote my store via the vast plethora of massively intimidating social networking options I decided to just talk about what's cool.  You know...Cool.  Are you cool?  Is being cool really that important, or is it just a tag associated with what we WISH we could be all the time?

Let's start with me.  Do I think I'm cool?  Well, many of us gain our self-perception from the feedback of others.  Do people like us? I think FB has taken this to another level.  Making all of one's mundane moments in life worthy of broadcasting to the world (minute or ridiculously broad depending on the amount of "friends" tallied.).  Still, am I cool?  Nah.  I hope not.  I mean if I thought I was cool, then that would inevitable mean that...I. am. not.

So let's focus on things that are indeed...Cool (to me).

...Handmade mineral eye shadow (Noella Beauty Works) - If you know me (you probably don't), you know that I am afraid of makeup because I don't know how to work it, BUT this looks like ice cream.  Far less intimidating...and very cool.

...Handmade Children's Toy Clown (HopIT) - if clowns looked like this then I wouldn't be so freaked out by them. (Like Chuckie Cheese freaked out.  I know Chuckie wasn't a clown, but why was his mouth so big that a 5yr old feels like she's going to be eaten???)  This clown is very calm and non-threatening...and vegetarian.  Cool.

...Handmade cardigan (Oveja Negra Knits) - hand-knitted items are special because there's normally only ONE of the item you have which is...Cool.  This cardigan is nice because of the zigzags and it looks warm and ready for a night at the movies or on long flight.  So you don't get too...Cool.

A new coat would be great, but maybe it's not in the budget.  The best way to make it FEEL new is to dress it up with a SCARF!

Modern prints...Fun colors...Easy to wear.  Who could ask for anything more? 

Did we mention all the proceeds are donated??  Yeah, so you are giving AND getting (It sounds so wrong, but it's not.).  Fashionistas can be charitable too!

the WAR against cowlicks and fly-aways...

Sure, we're all about jewelry. Just not ALL about it ALL the time. The fingers they get curious. Ready to explore other important topics. HAIR being quite important (world peace somewhere near that.

Our NEW macrame headbands bring the chic (elastic keeps the fit without squeezing your brains). Colors are big right now, so just know that reds, golds, blues, pinks will be up for grabs (colors can be mixed). At $15/ea it's a must buy for you (or a friend). The headbands are made to order and will be listed on our ETSY page, along with other new items soon to be blogged.
