My Mosaic

Yeah I got a drink @AuntGlow  im not good with water either. I drink sugar free cordial mostly, but I often get to the end of the day and realise I’m heaps thirsty cause I haven’t drank much! And one of my meds I need to drink plenty with it and another lowers my blood pressure so fluids are a must with that too.

Nah no energy journal. I do exercise every day. [edited by moderator] So I am already tired and I use the very little energy I do have on the treadmill and then I’m smashed the rest of the day. 

the im not crazy piece is an Alice in wonderland piece. I have a few different ones like that. 

yep sale do tend to go up in the lead up to Christmas. Gift buying and all. 

I love going to markets.

Our country market that we have on Saturday is actually at a country school @tyme  so there are stalls spread throughout the undercover areas and then there is a big grass area outside where there are rows and rows of stalls. About 150 stalls all together.

our other regular market is in town and they shut down a street and there are stalls down both sides of the road and then into the carpark. 

the market on Sunday that we are doing is a yearly council ran festival. We haven’t done this one before, but prior to covid, it was a pretty big community event. It actually runs over 2 weeks, carnivals, fun runs, art shows, fire works. They use to do a street parade but they haven’t done that for years.

Wow! That's pretty big then! You're work truly is amazing. I can see why people love the markets. @Bow 

Do you post things you make?

[Bow]

As in snail mail post @tyme ?

yep I’ve posted things all over aus! 

[Bow]

I had me a day at home today. Slow going. But still got a few things done. 

you know when sometimes ya have them big waves of really intense emotions hit ya out of nowhere. Yeah I had a lot of them today. 

spent a lot of time just laying on the floor.

Good afternoon! @Bow 

What is your favourite cordial flavour? 😍

Hmm, I wonder if we can do water check-ins? Because I absolutely need an accountability buddy!

I am glad you are exploring movement throughout your day. I was thinking that noting down when you have energy/what you're doing could be helpful - to see if there's a pattern. ☺️

I seriously love Alice in Wonderland. I know you do too! 

Some extra income and the celebration of your art must feel really rewarding. 

What do you love most about markets? 🤩

[Bow]

Hi @AuntGlow 

My go to flavor is apple and blackcurrant. But I also really like bickfords mango and coconut cordial in some lemonade- a nice little treat. 
Sure we can do water check ins. That could be really helpful I think. 

yeah maybe I could track my energy and see where things are. I use to use a bullet journal @AuntGlow  which was great for all of that stuff. But like any journal, it fell away. But i did stick with it for a while though. 

I’ll have to take some up to date photos of my Alice collections. Do you collect anything?

yeah a little extra money certainly helps. DSP doesn’t go very far unfortunately. I often have a moment where I stop and think… people spend their money to have my art work. Little wow moments. I had a lady cry once. And I do love returning customers. 

I pulled all my stock out today, redid some labels and packed ready for Saturday. Took a couple of photos

 

 

I really do love the uniqueness of the markets we do. Cause they are mostly handmade you know it’s different. And I guess cause I know this is true for me, it’s true for other marketers 

 

how was your day?

[Bow]

@tyme  I made this today. 2 more to do. 

 

[tyme]

Coolies! Are you making the bottles for someone? Or just to sell? Do you buy the templates for the cricut? I don't generally buy the templates. I just use what's there. But then again, I haven't been very creative with mine @Bow 

[Bow]

No these are for us @tyme ! We are going on a Disney cruise at the end of the year!

while I’m using the cricut a lot I’m paying for the subscription. Not sure I’ll keep doing it though. I also make a lot of things myself. Just search on Pinterest for images. Lots of FB groups too with free svg images

this one was mostly made but it wasn’t very clear or clean, so erased a heap of stuff and then found other images to replace them. 

just lots of playing around
