I came up with this fab idea to create a mosaic tile splash back for my kitchen. Actually better homes and gardens did and now i am going to do, even Mr J said that was ok, although i have a feeling he is just agreeing with everything at the moment after the Baden Clay threat, or he thinks i have forgotten about the wedding. So i came up with and even better idea, actually it is based on one of my besties christmas tree, which has a name and i cant remember it, but friends take christmas decorations and put it onto the tree which is stuck to the wall. Friendship tree? Dont remember. I am thinking that i could ask if anyone is interested to send me a tile, i am looking for something different, antique, vintage, colourful, patterned, whatever. I am going to create a new splashback and if i get enough cover a table as well. It could be a long project but i am excited about putting some colour and if i get tiles from others, some love into my kitchen.
I need to refer back to the not rembering. Not only can i not remember what the tree is called, i have forgotten large chunks of my life. I have forgotten stages of when my kids were little, i have forgotten what is was like to have little, this is sad. Fortunately i have a lot of photos to remind me, but i wonder does this happen to everyone or have i had a stroke and just dont know it? I guess what is good is that i cant wait to have grand kids, a few years ago i would have stuck a fork in my eye just thinking about it, now i just cant wait, after Mr J asked if we could have more kids so he could fill the house with them, i even thought about it....for a second and then remembered that Mr J has had the snip and i might have to find a suitable doner like Channing Tatum to father a child. Its ok, i am over it now, i have a kitchen to tile.
So i drove out to Oakey this week to visit a student. I wrote a list in my iphone, mainly because i was going to write a blog when i got home, i had the popping candy thing going on and i didnt want to forget stuff to blog about. I forgot to blog, i looked at the list and have forgotten what half of them are. I cant put the list here because it is in a different format and i cant figure out how to put it here so you will have to trust that this is the list:
renovate kitchen - based on the purchase of magazine and coffee in Oakey
road trip - i told Mr J we are just going to get in the car Friday afternoon and then drive
He: without a plan, you just want to drive, how far and what will we do?
Me: i can get a map, we can calculate how long it will take us to do an interesting round trip, we can sleep over in dodgy motels and look at stuff we normally wouldnt look at
He: like what?
Me: like the Emu farm at Murgon
He: ok
Me: you know we could visit all these odd places we drive past and take photos out the front and have a laugh (thinking Baden Clay moment, he is agreeing to everything)
Re invent - i dont know what this was
Painting - now i would love to be able to paint, in my head i can see great stuff, i cant put any ideas on paper but i am sure i could do it
Petas exhibit - my cousin has an opening of her first solo show on Saturday, i am so excited for her and i love her work, i may or may not have bought something already, i hope she takes mates rates
Moving house - dont know what this is, i am not moving, oh wait, i was thinking we could move to Oakey, buy 300 acres for less than what i can sell my house for, i can retire and farm emus to make money, only i am not sure what part of the emus you use
Emu farm - as above
New ring - highlighted in previous blog and now by the time i get it, unless he thinks to pick it up tomorrow before football and suprise me, i might change my mind and get something different
Thats a big list, you can imagine how my head was popping on this day especially with all those hours in the car and a few solo coffee stops. Then i also think about how i complain about the hours spent in the car for work, yet i want to do road trips. Odd
In case you want to be part of my mosaic madness send to:

yah I love mosaic. I did a whole table when I was isolated with the chicken pox oh and forgetting is sometimes better than remembering. My head is so full of memories it sometimes frightens even me. I remember having my nappy changed and I was younger than two. I told my mum how she would do it (old cloth nappy style) and she was all spun out that I would remember it. She had a way she would put me in her lap and do it so I could not have made it up. Think how big the stupid hard drive is in my head (best thing about having wine is sometimes you forget things that are probably best forgotten)
