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

It’s a real issue for me at the moment though @Snowie i know I shouldn’t let it get to me, but it does. I was on to my D for ages to get her to have regular showers, she finally does now. But I don’t. I’m really repulsed by my own personal hygiene. Can’t believe that I’ve let it get to the point it has.

Yeah she could stay with mum. Or I could just drag her along and not tell her where we are going.

yeah just the 3 of us. Disney cruise lines aren’t coming back to Australia after the end of this season. And I always wanted to go on one, so I’m heaps excited.

have you been on a cruise before?

Re: My Mosaic

@Snowie yes absolutely, so so true!! I always admire whenever folks decide to be real and vulnerable on social media. Influencers (by and large, there are some gems tho I will say) make me ill - it's all about clout, and no substance to speak of.

@Bow hehe good!!

Aww it's soooo close now!! Two more sleeps!

How will you do the reveal now you reckon? Pretend like you gotta go run some boring errand? Hehe

Oh WOW that sounds so cool!! I wonder if Mickey Mouse gets seasick... 🤔🤣

Re: My Mosaic

It bothers me to @Bow No matter how much I try and not let it, it does.

D will love the cruise too. Will be so much fun. Is it just around Australia or to other places to? Are you going to tell her or surprise her?

I've never been on a cruise. Have been to a few places overseas but have always flown.

Re: My Mosaic

Cruise is to Hobart and back. 5 nights I think. @Snowie @I’ve never done a cruise so I’m looking forward to it. Won’t tell D until the day or something.

Re: My Mosaic

That sounds exciting @Bow I can imagine you telling D just beforehand. She will be so excited too.

My Aunt is actually on a cruise at the moment. It is one that goes around Australia. Been looking at her facebook photos to see what's she doing.

Just watching tv @Bow with H with the dog snoring besides me.

Watching Seinfeld at the moment.

Really want some ice cream but have none left. Probably a good thing!!

Have you got anything on tomorrow?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Watching tv too @Snowie but just tucked D in, so will start on the birthday wall soon. Then I can go to bed.

just her birthday. Pancakes for breakfast. Then to her dads for a while and the back here for dinner and cake.

Re: My Mosaic

Watching a doco on Egypt Pyramids now @Bow Actually very interesting.

I'm assuming you won't get a sleep in tomorrow morning!! D up early for her birthday.

I hope tomorrow goes well hon. I'm sure she will have a great day.

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Snowie @Jynx @Eve7

hope y’all are traveling along ok?

our day has been good so far. And yep you’re right, no sleep in for us today! D up early for her birthday. She was very spoilt. And did love and appreciate all her gifts. Lots of dragon stuff and arts and craft supplies that she keeps stealing off me! She now has her stuff… including 3 big rolls of masking tape! 😂

we ordered McDonald’s for breakfast and was so disappointed! Took an hr and arrived cold. I got a refund.

she spent a few hours at her dads.

I stopped off at my favorite op shop. Went to get a few more towels for the kittens. I came home with 4 blankets, 2 cat beds, a pet carrier and a big bag of craft supplies! And all for $20!! I first just had a small pile if craft stuff and went to pay and she asked if I wanted some more craft stuff… say yes please… please say yes. I caved and said sure, I’ll have a look. She lead me upstairs to a room that had 5 big boxes of arts and craft stuff. Spend 1/2hr picking out some stuff and then wandered back down stairs to pay. I told her you shouldn’t have send me up there! She laughed. I would have happily paid more. But that’s how this lady does it. Everything is so cheap. She is there to help the community. When I told her I only came for towels for my foster kittens she gave me the extra cat beds and a pack of pet bowels too.

I came home and cleaned my room a bit and then D came home. We sat down and did some Lego together. She doing her big Ninjago dragon she got for her birthday and I started on my hibiscus set.

this is what I ended up setting up last night for  my D’s birthday. The green is her bedroom and then down to the living area. But apparently she spent most of the night on the couch cause there was a moth in her room!
