My Mosaic

Oh I like pad Thai @Snowie it’s yum. Glad that it’s a helpful distraction for you. I wish cooking was easier for me. It use to be.

Yeah, I have been feeling overwhelmed lately with busy days. I like to have days just at home, but they don’t happen very often.

Im doing a paint by number at the moment, it’s a photo of a lady from church. Her husband ordered it for her birthday. So there is pressure to get it done and done perfectly- that’s a bit of the overwhelm. Getting it done on time.

I love thai food so try lots of different recipes. I'm lucky that my kids and hubby will practically eat anything I cook @Bow

They ate a lot of the freezer meals when I was in hospital so doing a restock.

Sometimes just having that time at home is so nice. Even if it's not the whole day but at least some of it.

I never knew you could make paint by numbers from photos of people. Knowing your talents hon and the art work that I have seen on here, I bet that it will turn out amazing. He wouldn't have asked you to do it if he didn't believe in you.

I love Thai food too. Have you been to Thailand before @Snowie ? I’ve been once and the food was amazing. And it always looked amazing! We loved the fried rice cooked and served in hollowed out pineapple.
authentic foods in their countries are so good- Indian was amazing too.

It’s good that you can stock the freezer up for when you are in hospital.

yeah I’ve done a heap of paint by numbers from my own photos. Mostly of my daughter. They mostly look really good, but I’ve had a few issues with the wrong skin tones with some of them. Like I ordered a photo of a friend who is really really pale, also of my niece who is very pale, but the skin tones were really tan. It was really disappointing cause there is so much work in it. So I stress about that.

I've been to Thailand twice @Bow and the food was amazing, and cheap!

My kids love different types of food and different cuisines. They will always go for something like Thai/Indian instead of a burger shop.

It sounds like there is a lot of work in the paintings. They must take up a lot of time for you too.

I can sew but that's as arty as I get!!

Yeah I’d go Thai or Indian over a burger shop too @Snowie and the leftovers are so good too!

lots of work in these paintings. I’ve been working on just the face of this one painting and it’s even done yet and it’s well over 9hrs.

I’ve just crawled into bed so I’m going to say goodnight. Thank you for keeping me company tonight my friend. 💕

Sounds like a lot of work in your paintings @Bow That is a long time too to spend on a painting that's not even finished yet.

Goodnight hon. It's been lovely to be able to keep you company and have a chat. I love catching up with my friends on here.

Will be heading to bed soon myself.

aww i'm just picturing him sunbathing on the bed so cute!!! @Bow hahaha the bite part 😂

going to deal with the clothing stuff before bed tonight. i have a chair that i throw all my clothes onto too but i had to chuck the clothes onto the bed since i needed the chair. the last few days i've just been tossing the clothes from the desk/chair to the bed, and then back to the desk/chair when it was bedtime - it's been a great workout 😅

i'm stuck in that same boat as you - too many clothes in my wardrobe, i need to do a full clean up soon too.

Sounds like a really rough day yesterday all round. @Bow.

Im so sorry about Jaffa. One of the hardest things to face is losing a pet. I’m so glad you were with him to the final breath. He would have known and felt you there.

Im sending you so much love today.

How is D coping?

Hi @Bow

I am guessing today is going to be or is being a hard day for you. Saying good bye to Jaffa and laying him to rest.

I hope that things are going ok. Please know that we are here for you.

Sending lots of 💕💕

Thanks @Captain24 @Snowie

its been a rough day. And we haven’t even buried him yet. Wanted to wait til D was home from school so that she could be part of it if she wanted. She seems ok.

I’ve just felt really flat. Emotional. I’m tired too. (D was up in the middle of the night with a sore stomach)

I had an appointment with my dietitian this morning. It had been a while since we had chatted, so there was a bit to catch her up on. We talked a fair bit about our up coming trip, strategies I can put in place, this I need to be mindful and prepared for and stuff. And we also talked about mum going away again in November. I will see my dietitian again while mum is away, so that’s helpful.

I’ve really wanted to just crawl into bed this afternoon, but I’ve had this painting to work on. And now I need to go dig a hole 😩😭
