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

Thanks @Snowie yes will enjoy the last day to myself…. By mowing the lawns!! Lol didn’t take me too long though which was good.
Im gonna get on the treadmill for a little bit and then do some crafting. I’ve sold a few of my pieces this week. Just building up some stock for the market next Sunday.

how are you doing today?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Thats great that you have sold some of your pieces @Bow Hopefully you sell a lot more at the market.

At least you can have some quiet time now!! My S goes back to school on Monday.

I'm ok just tired. Took my mum to a dance concert yesterday/last night. Today might just be a quiet day!

Re: My Mosaic

I have made so much stock @Snowie ! I really do hope it sells! Otherwise I have no idea what I’m gonna do with it. I actually had an order some in from Victoria!

I’ve done this love heart…. And now I’m gonna have a go at making a letter of the alphabet and filling it in

 after I’m done on the treadmill I’ll do some. Will put a record on- I got a record playing for my birthday! Hehe it’s heaps funky. Looks like a brief case. I got 2 Taylor Swift albums. Waiting for a P!nk one to arrive.


looking forward to having time back to yourself once son goes back to school?

We were talking about it yesterday at my journaling group. How routine is so important and school holidays interrupt that routine, and by the time you get use to a holiday routine, holidays are over and you gonna get use to the school days routine!

oh what kinda dance concert?

quieter days are always good when you had a busy day previously. My daughter often doesn’t wanna do things on the weekend cause she just wants a quiet day at home after being at school all week

Re: My Mosaic

I love the love heart @Bow

A letter of the alphabet would be cool. What letter are you thinking of doing?

Record players are becoming so popular these days.

S is 16 so he pretty much does his own thing! Stays up late, sleeps in, goes out with his friends and goes to work. He will have to start getting up early again!

I can remember when they were little. Used to have to organise all different things for them to do. Hopefully you and D can just have some home days. Something my kids liked were pj days. We would stay in our pj's, get some blankets for the floor and watch movies all day.

I'm not sure if you have heard of it but it was a calisthenics concert. She has been involved in the club for most of her life, so still likes going to these things. She won't drive far or at night (which is probably a good thing) so had to take her to that.

The letter E @Snowie

 
daughters name.

yeah they are becoming popular. But the records are so expensive.

we have a lot of home days. The extra social interaction from daughter being home all day is exhausting, can’t imagaine doing something every day to entertain her as well! We usually try and do some ‘big’ each holidays plus a couple of days at vacation care- we all need a break from each other and makes the holidays more manageable.

never heard of that.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

That's really cool @Bow

I'm sure D will love it too.

Vacation care sounds good, give both of you a break. It's good if she doesn't mind those home days. Maybe a few movie days in there too.

It's kind of like dance, in age groups. There are competitions and concerts with it. I grew up doing it and so did D. She actually still does it now.

Re: My Mosaic

We went to a market this morning @Snowie the one that we are doing next weekend. We wanted to show the organiser my art pieces to make sure they are appropriate to sell there. Mums stall is baby and children’s clothing, accessories and giftware. Needed to check that it was ok to come under giftware. It does and the lady was heaps impressed. She said they are so unique and she hasn’t seen them before. That felt good!
