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

Oh my D is like that too @tyme 9 going on 19! I can’t deal! How is my little girl growing up so quickly!

Card making…. I have a pile that I have made at my arts and craft group. I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with them though! I don’t really do cards. I hate writing in them! To sell them at market I would have to get approval. They require approval for any new products and then they only allow a couple of vendors sell the same kind of product. And then I’d need space on our tables!

I didn’t know you use to make them. I did all my own wedding invites, programs, menu… etc.

And that’s why I decided to sell my art… cause there was no space for it at home anymore. Couldn’t just keep making stuff and shoving it in a box and forgetting about it.

Hey @Snowie 👋 💕

I’ve had an ok day. Gp appointment this morning and then just at home. I did a heap more art. Some Christmas ones.

D’s allergies have been bad the last couple of the days. Woke me in the middle of the night and gave me the biggest freight. She wanted a snooty pill (antihistamine).

full day at home tomorrow… hopefully. Think CM wants to come visit though in the afternoon.

how’s your day been?

Thats no good about D @Bow I hope the meds kicked in quickly and helped.

Great work on doing your art. Was it more for the markets?

Hey @Bow @Snowie ...

Argh, kids... they can drive you around the bend... but I have to say, the kids have been therapeutic for me... gets me out and about. And, also, they get me to do things I normally wouldnt.

Hope you've had a good day!

Do you have markets this weekend @Bow ? Or is your mum still away?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yep more stock for market @Snowie i hadn’t done any Christmas ones. So pretty sure now that I have plenty of stock for the 2 markets.

we got our sight number for next Fridays market and we have a corner sight, which we havent done before. So trying to figure out how to do our set up.

what did you get done at the hairdresser today?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah mum is still away @tyme not back until next Thursday, so no market this weekend. It’s been nice not having to get up super early!

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Do you think there will be an added demand for products for Christmas? @Bow

What else have you been up to at home lately? The art groups sound amazing. Do they have a set activity each time, or do you go each go there and do craft together?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Oh yep @tyme ! Lots of people go to markets to do their Christmas shopping. Big following for handmade unique gifts. Plus Christmas themed items too.

Not really been up to too much else. Feel like I’ve got so much to do before we go away.
My arts group, my SW actually runs it each week. She usually discusses with me what we can do! We search Pinterest together to come up with ideas. It needs to be pretty easy. And very low cost. They were donated a HUGE box of scrapbooking paper, so we have spent many weeks making things with that. Lots of cards, calendars, more cards. Such beautiful paper! I went through it yesterday and got all the Christmas coloured paper out cause I’m leading a watercolour Christmas card activity in a couple of weeks. It’s nice to sit down and craft with others. Some don’t talk much and then there is a Spanish girl who is really hard to understand and another girl who has hearing issues so you can talk to her and she doesn’t even hear! Some guys come every week and just sit and chat or play games.

Re: My Mosaic

That's really awesome that you can run the groups too @Bow . That's so helpful and it gives you purpose in giving back. The groups sound so laid back and chill. Less talking the better lol.

No wonder you connect so well to this SW. It great you can look things up together to make. Wow.

As for the markets, have you been making Chrissie themed stuff to sell?
