Thursday Coffee & Chat - 26 March

Hi @Fluttershy1

My week has been a bit of a rollercoaster, some good parts and some tougher ones. I am, however, really happy to have a day where I don’t have anything planned. I’m thinking of things I can do for myself to bring some comfort. Maybe I’ll do some colouring in or try another watercolour painting. I like painting sea landscapes, or mountains with a lake, it’s a bit tricky to get the water right. I'm still learning. I guess it’s just about getting to the point where you actually bring it all out and put it on the table. I hope it will happen today, it would be good.

How has your week been so far? 🙂

Hey @SaltwaterSoul,

I believe you can bring all your art stuff out and do it today, if you have a quiet one, it will be good for you!

My week has been up and down, but planning to have a quiet one as I don’t feel great today and I had a procedure done on my foot yesterday and it still hurts, also it’s windy and cold here so just huddling under the blankets.

@Fluttershy1

Thank you, I hope so. It’s always like that ,I feel this little battle inside me, thinking, Do I really have the energy to do this? But then, once it’s out, I usually end up feeling a bit more grounded.

Oh, it sounds like you’ve been through quite a big procedure. I hope your pain settles soon, I can imagine cold and rugged weather doesn’t make it any easier as well. What do you like to do for quiet time? Be well soon and take care of yourself because you deserve it.

@SaltwaterSoul - I believe in you to get the paints out it will be super fun🩷

I like arts and crafts - movie watching and playing the Nintendo switch.

@Fluttershy1

I’ll keep you updated. Thank you for the encouragement! 🙏 Oh, Nintendo Switch, I haven’t played for a few years. I remember playing Mario Kart and Mario Party, such classics. Which games do you usually play? And if you could choose, what kind of art and craft would you like to do? 🎨

@SaltwaterSoul - Mario kart, Mario party, Nintendo sports, animal crossing or minecraft.

craft wise - pipe cleaner flowers, mini stars, paint pouring, mosaics, scrapbooking, colouring, painting, diamond art

@Fluttershy1

Wow you got a couple of games, that's good fun.

Diamond art sounds interesting, I don’t think I’ve heard of it before or maybe I have, but just didn't realise the name of it, I'll do a google search and find out. 👍 Scrapbooking is fun! Have you heard of junk journaling? It looks really cool. I think it’s a bit similar to scrapbooking, but the reason it’s called “junk” is that you can use literally anything, any material. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I’ve had a look, and it seems like my inner child’s dream, a big vibrant collage, but in a journal format. Maybe one day!

I’m going to prepare some early lunch, and then hopefully get my art stuff out and see what I end up doing. I’ll check in a bit later today. I really wish you some peace and quiet, and hopefully some pain-free moments soon.🙏

Morning 😊 @Fluttershy1 , @SaltwaterSoul

@SaltwaterSoul - enjoy your lunch, I’ll be around.

Hello @Shaz51 - how are you?
