Flickr Favorites


For some reason, I felt a lot of pressure on me last week. I know it's my own doing because I'm taking on too much things at the same time. It was supposed to be a week to relax and do stuff for myself but when opportunities come along, I just can't say no.
Last saturday a ceramic market organiser called me. I had subscribed to be on the market but was too late to enter. Someone had cancelled last minute and they asked if I wanted to be at the market the next day. How sad I felt to turn it down as I never stood on a ceramic market before (and this one is well known and big), but I just could not handle the pressure. I felt tired and decided I would better think of me instead of all the things that drive me...
So I had a chance to catch up looking at all your mosaics, answer some e-mails and even do some sanding outside... Feels good to catch up and get a grip on things again. I'm still behind on some stuff but I'm getting there.

Last week's favorite mosaic makes you want to create right away...

Next week is the first Tuesday of the month so we play by theme. If you feel like playing, take your favorite quote and built a mosaic around it.
If you have a theme you would like to play with next month, let me know please! :)
I've also been playing around with a new comment system. I hope it doesn't give you too much hassle, if it does, please do let me know.

If you like to play this week, make your mosaic and add a link to your blogpost (NOT your blog please) or Flickr in Mister Linky (click on the button below and fill in your name with the link to your blogpost or Flickr picture)...

I know that feeling, but one day doing stuuf that's realy for yourself gives a lot of energy...so stop doing things for another and give yourself that present ...
Wish you all the best. Always keep thinking on you first!
interesting for next week.
Relax woman! relax!!!! :)
Sweetie you should not push yourself too hard!! Life is short =) I know you enjoy what you do you can tell it from every little detail of your lovely work =) But do take care of yourself and keep on doing what you love and believe in. I am sure they will be many great options for you!!!
I wish you the best!

(I really like your new comments system!)
hope you find some time to relax this week!
Take care of yourself - there is only one of you :)
Poor you - it's not easy trying to spread yourself too thinly. Well done for being strong and saying no to the last minute market - hopefully you can recharge a bit, take some time to catch your breath, and then go back into the fray, more creative and inspired than ever!
Quite a sad mosaic this week from Mitsy - I hope you're feeling more chilled next week hon, Elle xox

PS Love the new comment system x
I think it's good to know your limits and when to say no, it is important to make time for yourself or else you would just feel worn out and tired all the time. Hope you have a great week!
Love the pics. I can almost hear the egg cracking in that wrench or the 'crunch' of the pencil when the pressure just boils over... Sorry to hear that you've been taking strain, but glad you had some time to catch up and just 'be'. Here's to some more balance for you this week.

PS Thank you, glad you liked the mosaic.
Hi Mitsy, oh dear! Pressure takes so much energy - I know how it is. And in an unexpected moment it is gone. As the sun shines beyond the clouds.
So I wish you sunshine for this week!

clever girl ! and I like the mosaic.
ooh a theme..hmm will have to think of a quote now

there needs to be more time in the day..but then we would just fill it with more things to do so it would probably be pointless :p
the best thing is take your time! your mosaic perfectly shows your mood!!
I absolutely love your mosaic this week, very descriptive of how I was feeling this week, pressured. I'm so excited about next week's theme!!! I;m already working on it. I knew the quote I wanted to use instantly, one of my faves. See you next week, Mitsy.
Your mosaic is very powerful today. And you should definitely take some time for yourself, just once in a while.
Have a great, easy week!
Mitsy! Glad you are feeling a little better but still- take some time out this week!
Take some time for yourself. I know how you feel, I´ve been feeling very stressed too these days...

(((hugs)))
I know exactly what you are going through ... exactly. I think you took the right decision.
I am planning to take a "day off" relaxing, catching up and taking care of myslef for 2 months now and I am postpining it again and again and again ...
beautiful mosaic ... as always :)
Great MosaIc!!!
sometimes we just need some time for ourselves!!! i feel like you sometimes and it's really difficult to keep going!!!!
You made the right decision to take it easy and think of yourself Mitsy. Now you can relax and recharge for your upcoming projects!
Oh Mitsy, I do understand you... there's so much we want to do and so little time... sometimes the pressure is too much! And you just have to relax... and think about what's best for you!

The mosaic is beautiful :)
You are doing amazingly well and your work is wonderful! It's just that it's necessary to take some time for yourself from time to time, we all need this.
Very fitting mosaic for pressure. Congrats on getting a bit caught up...something of which I need to work on, too!
Pressure: I feel compressed. I need to do some yoga. *hmph* fat chance of that getting done...
