Our Mosaic Weekend
Well i had a great time last weekend with my sister, i honestly didn’t think she would enjoy it, not being crafty at all but she surprised me and absolutely loved it. I arrived at her place on Friday afternoon and i just couldn’t get her to start lol even she didn’t think she would enjoy it so of course there was a lot of procrastination on her part lol we got up early on Saturday and took the plunge 🙂 Her neighbour came in for a couple of hours to have a quick lesson and then it was just Julie and I. She loved it that much we ended up doing a marathon 14 hrs straight of mosaics lol good music on in the background , her partner Mark keep coming in at the appropriate times to feed and water us lol and I’ve never seen her so relaxed, she actually slept like a log after that ( not usually a good sleeper) and now she’s determined to keep going, think I’ve created a mosaic monster haha ,
Here’s a few pics for you. After me trying to get her to work our what sort of picture she wanted over the last few weeks !!! I ended up just drawing out this flower pot which she loves, so i know its not a really tech drawing but she was very happy.
Totally engrossed and didn’t want to stop
this was as far as we got before i had to leave
and 3 days later its ready for grouting
I’m very proud of my sister and she really couldn’t be happier with the outcome, I hope you’ve all had a great week, im working on some small mosaic pieces for my new vegie garden so hopefully i’ll have pics soon xo

That’s a pretty mosaic picture and you can tell by the photos just how much your sister enjoyed it!
Thanks Lyn, she absolutely did 🙂
Great job Julie, the mosaic is beautiful. Kudos to you Karen for persistently encouraging her. The fact she slept well speaks volumes. Sometimes we all need a shove to find out something is good for us.
Thankyou Marilyn My words exactly lol

What a great job she did. I’m sure she is as proud as you are Karen. Sometimes it does take encouragement but there is a well of creativity in all of us. You just need to tap into it. 🙂
