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

Same here @Snowie bed is my safe place. I always get questioned if I’m in it too much though… like at random times of the day. I go to bed pretty early, not necessarily to sleep, but just to feel safe.

Re: My Mosaic

Yes, for everyone @Birdofparadise8 . It's a live chat from 7-8:30pm. You can have a look here JOIN US! Live Sunday Hangout 7-8:30pm AEST

Feel free to come for a squiz 🙂

IN the future, if this works out, we will ask members to led the chat. They can chose their own topic whether it's craft, pets, nature etc. So this is more a hangout space rather than the Thursday chats which are more structured.

I don't even know if I'm making sense.

Hey @Bow how are you going? just saying hi
I can resonate with what you said about the kids in the bed…. and you’d agree that not all sleepovers in your bed are planned!
The other night we had 4/5 of us and the dog wanted to get in too…. I ended up on the couch

@Bow , as long as my posts don't make the noise even louder in your head!

My sister is not letting my niece come for a sleepover tonight because she lied supposedly...

My nephew is asleep now on my couch...

I'm sitting in my office.

@Bow , does your D have Orbeez? Those pearl things that look like tapioca? I bought a whole lot for the kids here but I'm too scared to give it to them incase they do something silly with them like put it up their noses lol.

Re: My Mosaic

@ArraDreaming My daughter use to co sleep with me for many years, it was the only way that she would sleep- own fault cause I nurses her to sleep from birth. But she was my first and I didn’t know any better. But it came to a point when it had to stop cause it was effecting my sleep too much. Now she just occasionally has sleepovers

Re: My Mosaic

do you sleep on the floor floor or a mattress on the floor @tyme there was a period I slept nearly every night on a spare cot mattress on the floor in one of my kids rooms, true story, also those cot mattresses are like foam so it was basically the floor, @tyme @Bow
