Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

In a way, after my major depression, I feel like I've lost so many years and hence need to make up for them? It seems like once I start, I just keep going. People have called me the 'pocket rocket' lol.

I've been doing a kid's crocodile lego with my nephew. He's so good with them. He's a little perfectionist.

You've got so many projects going at the same time @Bow ! Love it! I'm not really fond of puzzles, but maybe because I don't know what to do with them once I have finished them! Do you frame your puzzles?

As for people 'talking behind your back', I hear you. I think part of developing a therapeutic relationship is that they respect you're an adult and actually tell you they are speaking to your parents instead of just doing it? What do you think? I reckon that's what I'd like to see more of.

Re: My Mosaic

I guess that kinda makes sense @tyme …. Wanting to make up for lost time!

yeah lotsa projects on the go…. Something for most moods! Nah I don’t frame them- I’d have no where to hang them anyways!!! I actually put the edges pieces in a separate bag and throw them all back in the box. My biggest peeve about puzzles is sitting there looking for all the dang edges pieces! So next time I do the puzzle I’m ready to go. I like to do Disney puzzles, nice abstract plant ones. We went to the big dymocks store in Sydney last weekend and oh my gosh, their puzzle section!!

my dietitian said to me recently… when I was complaining about my case manager speaking to my mum without my permission… ‘nothing about me without me’. And I love that. Yes I agree, there needs to be that respect. I’m hoping that things are going to be different with my new case manager. If they need to speak with my mum, let’s have a conversation first, if there are valid reasons and they are explained to me then I’d usually be ok with. But always before… not after the fact.
