E is for... Exciting New Buttons

The new job seems have become my most recent excuse for unproductive weekends, but I'm also partially blaming lack of proper goals to work towards. So to give me a kick, and get my creative juices flowing (yes - I am still thinking about my new year's goal to "rediscover") I have found a few projects I'd like to try and follow over the summer. You may have noticed a couple of new buttons have appeared on my side-bar.

The first is the Creativity Boot Camp. This is a online course, where over two weeks there will be daily prompts to boost your creativity. The prompts can be followed using whichever medium you like best. I'd love to follow something like this with my scrapbook, journal or maybe even needle and thread, but knowing what my schedule is like I'm thinking my camera is the best tool. It'll give me a chance to improve my photography skills which has been on my to-do-list for a long time now. And I'm even more excited about this because it's totally free!

The second creative juicer I'm committing to is the {make} Sew Along. I've devoted hours to trawling the web for cute bag patterns ever since Santa brought me my sewing machine in December. There are far more great tutorials out there than I will ever have time to try. But when I saw this I had to spread the word. I love the idea of "sewing along" with other stitchers around the world. This should give me the motivation to keep going, plus I may pick up some new skills along the way.

So there you have it. Two new buttons. One photo project and one sewing project. Now I have stood up and said it out loud - so to speak, I can't possibly skulk {is that really a word?} out of it!
