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 🙂

@Bow 😍😍

I've been showing your lil fur babbies to my partner, and you should HEAR the sounds of delight they made!! Ach, bet you didn't realise just HOW MUCH joy your kitty caring adventures would bring into the world!! Hehehe

Weekend was a bit of a misadventure actually! Partners and I went to Moomba festival, just to check it out - it's like a carnival-style festival down on banks of Yarra River. Only... it was sooooo crowded, and it seemed like they went EXTRA HARD on the flashing lights and loud sounds, so all our funky lil ND brains were quickly overwhelmed!!

Then we witnessed some awful behaviour (I won't go into it, it is pretty distressing - but don't worry, I am a-ok, and no one was significantly hurt or traumatised) and ended up having to go find some cops to make a report. The good thing is, we reckon that by making this report we might actually have made a real difference for these folks to get some help. Well that's my hope. Anyway, so then like... we all came back to mine after and collapsed into a heap! The cuddles were nice after so many emotional twists and turns!

How was your weekend?

Re: My Mosaic

Aww oh that’s nice @Jynx they mostly bring lots of joy here too…. Except when they are climbing my curtains!

Oh wow that sounds really intense @Jynx all of it. I’m glad you were potentially able to help someone and that it has been too traumatizing on everyone. Snuggles sound nice after a hectic day!

had a mostly chilled weekend. Didn’t really get up to too much. I did manage to pick up a FREE display cabinet though. Been looking for something all last week but everyone I enquired about fell through. Was hoping to get something over the weekend and had pretty much given up, but did one last search on marketplace and found one for free and 5 mins away! And they were willing to help me put it in my car cause I had no one to help me and my stupid bung shoulder.

I then went to bunnings today. Got a primer/undercoat cause my shoulder won’t let me sand it back… got no elbow grease! Then wanted to have some paint tinted navy blue but I didn’t wanna buy expensive paint but they wouldn’t tint the cheap stuff. I told him it was just for furniture so he showed me some furniture paint, which was already tinted a very similar navy blue and guess what???… it was on clearance for….. $5! Walked out a very happy bow!

taped up the glass and filled the holes as well today and should be ready for the first coat of paint tomorrow.

my SW has been away the last 2 days. Can pretty much guarantee they are away when mum goes away! Sigh

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow OOOH yay for free furniture!! I have to stop picking up stuff from the side of the road lol I keep bringing home stuff and I have no room!!

What are you displaying in the cabinet? Lego? Teehee

YESSSS bargain hunting is the best!! Is the paint for the cabinet?

Ugh right? Universe does seem to have an ironic sense of timing ay 😅

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Free stuff is so good @Jynx ! Sometimes I grab free stuff from curbside pickup and then go sell it for n marketplace hehe

it’s going to be my wonderland cabinet. Gonna paint it up in wonderland theme and all. I do have some non Lego Lego themed wonderland sets. And more to come!

yep screw your universe! :middle_finger:

Re: My Mosaic

OMG @Bow your house is just getting more and more magical every week!! Makes sense hehe, when someone so wonderfully creative like you lives there!! Can't wait to see how it turns out!!

oooh you wily thing! Love that! What's the biggest profit you've turned on a curbside pickup?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Wish I had full creative power in our house @Jynx but gotta share space with mum. Oh and endless supply of elbow crease and money would be pretty good too!

hmm I grabbed a 2 seater couch and sold it for $70.

just tucked everyone into bed and crawled into bed. Lota pain tonight took some painkillers

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow Hahaha I reckon!!

Also lol I have this image of you just fully decorating the house and when she gets back you just say 'oh I had to stay occupied or I'd die' 🤣

NICE! Hmmm might have to share this lil idea with my thrifty friends - one of em even does furniture restoration!

Aww cuties, you got so many lil fuzzy bubs to tuck in!! Hope you have a peaceful slumber 😊💜
