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

lol @Bow that's kinda the problem!! If they don't go anywhere they pile up and get stinky 😖

Hate having no dishwasher and no washing machine!! Dishes and laundry are like THE WORST ONES

Re: My Mosaic

True that @Jynx i hate dishes too. We have a cheap nasty dishwasher and half the stuff needs rewashing. Not much of a fan of clothes washing either. But need clean clothes!

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow Ugh that somehow feels worse? I suppose you are only doing half the washing up, but packing and then unpacking and washing? 😵

What you up to this arvo? Jet lag still lagging ya?

Re: My Mosaic

Not too much @Jynx just lazing on my bed. Trying to get back into routine today, got on the tready, had a visit from my SW, but yeah nothing much this arvo. D has been sick all weekend, finally feeling better today. Still feel crummy, but think that’s more my mh than jet lag. But shall blame jetlag

what about you?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow Feels like we should, as a society, make January the 'write-off month'. Like we're all in this weird haze, a post-holiday malaise if you will - and no one knows what way is up, what year it is, what to do with themselves.... We all just say 'it's a write off, nothing matters, sleep the entire month if you like!!' 🤣

Not sure what I'm doing after work! Might be faffing about with this sewing table my partner n I found on the side of the road but depends on if they're free. Otherwise prolly just eat risotto leftovers and play games. Maybe figure out which book I wanna read next!

Re: My Mosaic

Oh yeah I could write January off every year. Never know what day it is @Jynx people are often away still.
I got a call today reminding me of a pdoc appointment tomorrow that I knew nothing about! Wasn’t ready for that so soon. Psychologist Thursday. Not ready for that either. I’d happily sleep and laze about for a few more weeks.

oh what’s the sewing table look like?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow omg *cries from the unprepared* lol

It's one of those old Singer sewing machines! Kinda like this, but the metal bits at the bottom are wider/thicker:

Weighs SO MUCH 😳

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Omg yes @Jynx !

legit my view right in front of me now!

 

we got this from an op shop years ago. My step dad restored it. Mum grew up sewing on one of these.
and yep we still have Christmas up! lol it’s normally well and truly away by now, but jet lag. And we are having Christmas with my brother SIL n niece on Sunday and then it will all go away I think.

Is yours in ok condition?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow ohhhh I love your lil display!! The Nutcracker Horde, it comes for THEE!! 🤣

Nice, it looks like it is in pretty good condition!! Does the machine work?

I think it is doing alright, one of the metal bits at the bottom is cracked and no idea if the machine works, but hence why I'm looping in all my lil crafty friends to help figure out what needs doin!! Lil queer community art project lol
