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 🙂

Teehee ty @Bow 😁

I used to always be quite precious about when I ought to burn candles and stuff - especially my really nice candles. Then I saw this meme/screenshot:

It's like a lil switch flipped in my brain and now I am always using my 'special occasion' stuff! I mean as long as it's not too expensive to replace anyway 😅

You a candle/incensey type person?

Re: My Mosaic

I use to be like that….. and I guess in some ways I still am…. Save things for special occasions. But I do try and use things now @Jynx

nah, never been a candle person. I do use essential oils sometimes in a diffuser though.

Re: My Mosaic

Ahaha oh wow those are brilliant @Bow!! Such a great gift too, no wonder they're being snatched up!!

For me candles have the double bonus of providing a subtle scent, and some cosy flickering light to boot! Since I'm so sensitive to light, it really helps to have something warm and natural in the space without overloading me!

What essential oils do you go for? AKA what scent profile - you into florals? Spices? Citrus? Desserts? I like desserts... I have way too many caramel latte candles 😅

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Jynx

I like the florals… anythung sweet smelling I guess. Mum was previously really into essentials oils. Has boxes of them still. She has some good blends that we use that helps for all sorts of things. Sore throat- here put this on your feet. Nausea, put this on your stomach.

I have finally just managed to crawl into bed

@Bow haha reminds me of my mum - woman loooves her teatree oil. I mean, it does make for a good antiseptic!! But it'd be like... ouch, I got a cut! "Pop some teatree oil on it!" Ouch, I got bitten by something! "Teatree oil!!" I'm feeling sad? "Tea....tree....OIL!" 🤣

Aww yay, maximum cosiness begins now!! Shall I bid you adieu? 💜

Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow your talent always amazes me. I wish I could go to the market you're at and buy one of your creations for my hubby for fathers day.

I hope today is a little easier for you 💗💗

Re: My Mosaic

I seen my psych today. Tried to be as honest as I could with where I am at at the moments and the things that I have struggled with specially. But walked out feeling rather dismissed again. It’s hard saying some of them words out loud. And to not really be taken seriously and just trampled on. It is shit.
I chatted with one of them lines this arvo. What are they even meant to do????
sigh

feel so defeated

a huge burden that no one can help
