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

@Bow oh that sucks hun. I hate when the aches and pains make it impossible to sleep - I'm a side-sleeper and boy do my hips hate that fact!

I think being tired makes my brain more likely to wanna dissociate. Or it's like, I find it harder to stay connected cos I'm so tired. So that might be a big factor. Still frustrating though for sure! I think the way it makes time seem to 'jump' makes it tricky too, like 'hang on I thought I had hours to do this task... when did the sun go down?' 😅

The fact you still accomplished something is commendable in my opinion - kinda hard to stay focused when one's mind keeps going 'offline'. And you weren't doing nothing hun, you were surviving.

Day has been ok, I too did not sleep well, but somehow managed to do the vacuuming! Well, most of the vacuuming haha.

What crafty Christmas things did you make today?

Re: My Mosaic

I’m still in pain tonight but thankfully not as much @Jynx so hoping for a better nights sleep. And yep my hips hate me too.

true yeah, being tired made today worse. And I thought I had like all day. All day. But so much of it went missing. That’s what is frustrating. I like it when I can manage a full day at home (apart from school runs) and to feel like chunks of it were robbed from me sucks. Like when my medication alarm goes off at midday?? What??? I got things to do!

is surviving really that big of a deal? It feel like just a given now. What I gotta do. It’s freaking exhausting but it’s normal?

I did a tiny bit of vacuuming today too! I sanded back the holes I made trying to put curtain rods up. We had an air tasker guy come by tonight to do it cause I failed at it.

Some of my pieces from today;

this tends to be popular

 made these with sea glass. So cute

 this has 4 cards with different quotes that spoke to me today feeling the way that I am. Haven’t made this before but gonna make some more.

 these calendars drove me crazy making the calendar part exactly the same size. Think I’ve got them as close as I’m gonna get them today. Now I just gotta go buy some more card stock

Goodnight, catch you next time when I can reply properly 💜

Re: My Mosaic

Sorry to hear that @Bow

Can you get into bed soon or is it a matter of waiting for D to go to bed?
