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

That castle is amazing @Bow.

Like @Snowie said, one task at a time. It seems less daunting to me if I have a list so I can cross things off. Sometimes to show me it’s not really as bad as I think I write how long it will should take me to complete or times. Eg 5:10, 5:25. That helps push me so I don’t get distracted.

I would love to go to a Lego store but I’d get sucked in. I have 5 diamond arts here to complete! They take months at a time!

I use to read a lot but not so much now. I’m still trying to finish the Lisa Curry book. I was obsessed with her when she was at the olympics. I even had to by some swimmers from her range. I still have them 25 yrs later!

Just sitting down to home made pizzas for dinner @Snowie

@I think I have done most things that I needed to do. Cats tray done, watered all the plants and even swept my back patio. It had a lot of leaves from recent strong winds. Someone is coming to do the lawns tomorrow so I have swept it all onto the grass. I cleaned up D craft area- when people come to visit me they have to walk past her craft area and sometimes I am so ashamed of how messy it is!

your sons and hubby Lego would be cool! What kind of sets do they have? There are some pretty amazing sets. The Star Wars ones are amazing but I am totally not into that! We will go to the new store once it is open, may even go in for the opening. The melbourne Lego store is apparently the biggest in the southern hemisphere- I read that in my hunt for the Sydney opening date!

8 books will keep you going for a while!

do you have a busy week??

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow ,

Yes, I'm on this evening. How was your D's bday?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

D’s birthday was really good thanks @tyme she had a ten pin bowling birthday party with some school friends which she really enjoyed.

She has been sick this weekend with a fever. She woke up ok this morning but has had a temp again this afternoon. Not what I need while mum is away and I have a week full of appointments!

hope you found some time this weekend to relax! You work a lot!

Re: My Mosaic

I would love to go to one @Bow. It will probably cost me a fortune! But I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

Yeah I’m up to that chapter in the book now.

It’s been a good read.

I do like to have a few different things lined up ready to go. Maybe a Lego set would be a change. I was ordering diamond arts as I was doing the last one but recently I’ve been ordering photo ones. I’m doing one of Pix the I have one of Angel and one of both of them together. I can’t remember what my standard ones are.

Re: My Mosaic

Awww. I hope your D feels better soon.

Did you find any cricuit ideas?

Have you worked with resin? The resin stuff is awesome, but I don't even know how to get started.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I want to do something for Angel @tyme @Bow and I thought maybe sea shells on a tile or something with resin. But I don’t know if I’m good enough.
