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 🙂

how was your trip?

Re: My Mosaic

Hi @Bow , my trip was surreal. We flew to Broome and then hired a 4 wheel drive and drove out into the Kimberley’s. I even met up with someone I hadn’t seen for 40 years who was staying at the same accommodation. We spent a day in an Indigenous community which was both welcoming and confronting. Trying to get motivated today.

What’s happening for you?

Re: My Mosaic

That sounds great @Eve7 especially getting to spend time with an old friend.

I have friends in Alice spring and I went up to visit them years ago. They did a lot of work with the aboriginal communities and they took me along while I was there…. Very confronting and very educational. Have definitely had a different view of our First Nations people since.

me… same stuff really different day. ED is pretty loud at the moment and not doing so good.

I’m so sorry you didn’t get to see your SW today. Especially with how hard things are right now. I can think of how panicked/disappointed/discouraged I’ve felt when I’ve been relying on a check in with someone and then it hasn’t happened. Do you have a day for when you’ll next see her?

Do you think it’s a “take a nap”, “distract with some craft”, “call someone to get some extra support”, or something else kind of day? Maybe multiple of those through the day? Will be thinking of you.

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow sorry to hear about your SW and not having that one on one. I hope you are able to give yourself some care this afternoon.

Hi @Wintersweet hoping your day is going ok

So glad you enjoyed your trip @Eve7 It can be tricky to come home to the norm. Hope you are doing ok

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Snowie @Wintersweet

yeah i was disappointed. The team leader did send me a message to see how I was. I don’t really know her though. Never met her before, just a few text messages.

im just on the couch watching some tv. Got a craft item on the go, but it’s so slow and tedious. I got a parcel delivery and just put all of these together. Putting the arms and hands together and clicking them in to place was a slow job and I now have sore fingers! I use them to make up Father’s Day frames.

I hope your days are going ok?

Re: My Mosaic

Oh they look so cute @Bow You will have to take a pic of the final product to show us.

I hope you sell some for fathers day coming up.

Went and saw mum this morning. All went ok.

Got a busy week ahead. Mum, MIL and FIL birthdays all this week!

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow

I love how you have them all lined up like a little army! Like Snowie, I’d love to see the frames when they’re done.

@Snowie

Glad it went ok with your mum. What a busy week coming up! Hope it all goes ok for you. How do you find interacting with your MIL and FIL?

@Eve7

Your trips sounds really interesting! Wishing you all the best for the readjustment of coming back.

My day has been ok. Busy and I got more sleep last night, both of which help.

Re: My Mosaic

I will post some photos once done yes @Snowie @Wintersweet

that does sound like a very busy week ahead of you Snowie. Do you do anything in particular for their birthdays? I’m glad your morning visit went ok.

Wintersweet oh I’m glad you got some sleep! It does help to be busy eh.

I didn’t nap today and I think I should have. I’m tired and ready for bed. We had a loaded spud for dinner- seen a new local food truck set up up the road and we rather like a good loaded spud. D had a chip on a stick.
