Re: Seven things I’m loving right now (27 June)

Haha, yes I'm the same with films and TV :) Sometimes it's frustrating, but I usually try to think of it as getting extra value out of a book or film through re-use!

Thank you Cherie :) I agree it can be hard to keep up, but it's wonderful to get these longer glimpses into our fellow librarians' lives.

Thanks Sylvia :) The last time I studied art was in high school - year 9 to be exact! It's taken me a long time to find my way back to it, and I'm so glad I did :)

Thanks Kate :) The review went really well, and got some good thoughts about what to work on in second semester.

Thanks Kate, I knew you would understand what I was trying to say there! XOXO

Thanks Kate :) Would I mind if you join in?? Of course not, the more the merrier! It's a great way to do something creative on a small and inexpensive medium with no pressure to create great art or be perfect. Here's the link if you'd like more info: http://daisyyellowart.com/i... or you can just do your own thing. I like the idea of a 7 day challenge :)

Thanks Kate :) It's a free app, a little glitchy sometimes but I like the way it flows. Once you get used to it you can work well within its limitations.

Thanks Peta :) And so exciting to see the #blogjune hashtag so busy today!

Re: Changing direction and being myself (22 June)

Sally Cummings — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 06:42:16 -0000

Yes, I'm doing #blogjune again this year :) A lot has changed since this time last year, so I don't know if there'll be much library content - I do have some fun tools that I'd like to write about though :)

Re: More on library blogging, and why I want to write about cool stuff (23 June)

Sally Cummings — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:02:13 -0000

Oh, I agree! I would definitely want to keep blogging about library stuff here as well, because this is my space for all the different parts of me :) My preference would be to post my library-related content both here and in a communal space (same post in two locations).

Thanks to both Andrew and Kate for your thoughtful comments. Andrew, I totally know what you mean about the excitement that Web 2.0 brought to the conversation across library sectors. Thank you Kate for reminding us that there are many more opportunities for cross-sector collaboration and inspiration - we just need to be open to the possibilities and think creatively.

That's terrific :) I've been wanting to play with it for ages, but wasn't sure how to get started or who to talk to about doing something there.

Re: Why I love #blogjune (8 June)

Sally Cummings — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 07:05:01 -0000

And the day-to-day stuff keeps things light too, so we're not always bogged down in deep professional thoughts :)

Re: Why I love #blogjune (8 June)

Sally Cummings — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 07:04:52 -0000

I have to keep reminding myself that it's okay to hit the publish button even if I haven't looked at an issue in a hundred different ways and conducted a thorough literature review :)

Re: Why I love #blogjune (8 June)

Sally Cummings — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 07:01:03 -0000

Yes, it's very hard to let go of perfectionism. I have many long, thoughtful posts sitting in my draft folder, while quick and dirty (but trivial) posts get published with barely a second thought.

But I'm also loving the feeling of reconnection, having worked vendor-side for the last year. So I want to get more involved in the conversation, and am glad to see #blogjune sparking so much discussion!

Re: Hello possum (11 June)

Sally Cummings — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 06:56:50 -0000

I do have a soft spot for possums :)

I think the flowers are a pinky-red colour, but I'll check the label for you tomorrow :)

Re: Cabbage (2 June)

Sally Cummings — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 03:51:20 -0000

They're so cheap! When I buy one at a bargain price, I feel like I'm scoring a secret yummy vegetable that nobody else knows about :)
