which is the best count aida to start on i haven cross-stitched for years but like you i have many hobbies i.e sewing, knitting , diamond painting

Susanna *******sunshine yellow .as your named coloured as your bright a jolly I've been watching loads of back issues of your KZbins all day today and some of yesterday whilst doing some diamond painting Christmas 2 door wreath cards and 3 squirrel Christmas cards on the last of them they are craft buddy from a shop in Leighton buzzard Bedfordshire , called blue haze crafts brought this time last year which is three train stops away from me in Hertfordshire

She said she couldn’t due to the way it was packed

Where can we get the dmc names list from

Your cross-stitch is brilliant I've been watching you on KZbin on my TV on Saturday 21st September I'm waiting for pay day in October so I can order some cross-stitch kits I've been busy diamond painting hope your op goes well

I certainly love the way you talk us i live alone so you brighten up my day whilst im working on one of several of my diamond painting which a friend introduced me to in the first Christmas locked down ive now completed ten main pictures a poppy wreath some wind chimes birds butterflies and dragonflies 8 mandala coasters three Christmas cards I'm doing tower bridge in the autumn a small Taj Mahal and doig Christmas cards at the moment ill have to find your floss tubes to watch

Ive been busy with quite a substantial haul from both TEMU and eBay my friend showed me how to order myself and since june I've ordered stuff each month and ive had some diamond painting from Poundland, the works and a month ago almost i brought 3 canvas bags with pumpkins and sunflower ive done two so far and ive traced my friend and her daughters names in italics which im using up spares and the B 7000 adhesive your picture looks brilliant im not sure im quite ready for that large just yet

I would love to try one of those new kits but at the moment I have more than enough. With the medication I was taking it brought back my Carpal Tunnel syndrome so it has limited painting. I had my Kidney Stones removed beginning of August and feel so much better for it. When health allows (and CTS) I have been painting Fandango (an old Dreamer Designs kit) which is an underwater scene with Turtles. I was wondering if you had moved. So glad you’ve found your new home and hope you’re settling in. Also glad you’ve had your op and hope you’re feeling better. Looking forward to your WIP and chat.

I was thinking to myself that the kit was very short on ABs and fairy dust….. and then you found the two extra bags 😂 And such a gorgeous colour 😍 Glad that you’re happy with the kit and I’ll look forward to seeing your progress when you are able to make a start. 🤗

Beautiful image ❤. I bet it's gorgeous when finished 😊😊

I have never tried DP like this, but I think I am going to try one. Normally I just pull back the plastic cover and work from the bottom up.

Thank you for all your tips. It’s great to see when things don’t work as planned and how you fix it. Great Job ❤ New Subscriber

Hi hunii xx

Oh, I do like this one. And being rounds, the sparkle on all those dark colours will be amazing 🤩 So glad you were able to find a kit that connects you to such a special memory 😊

🌹🌹❤️❤️🦘🐨😊

I can't wait to see what it looks like when finished!

🧡🩷💜

It is big one. I’m sure you will enjoy the process. I have Freedom by Abraham Hunter in my stash. It will be gorgeous as all DAC are. 😊 wasn’t expecting crystals. Nice! 👍🏼

I am late to the party. I loved all your stories. I love this painting, I just got it recently and look forward to completing it. It is my favorite.

This is a REALLY nice diamond art club kit. Makes me want it. But at the same time I don't because I love unboxing these myself and having the mystery, haha! Thank you for this video, earned a sub!

Dang you need more subs

Hi Suzanne - I really miss your videos.. you're one of my favorites to watch/ listen 😢 I hope that all is well with you!

I have come across left over diamonds that are supposed to be the same color and they are not

I bought i light green version of the lilac pen from temu. It came with no instructions no wrist strap and no magnifier lol thank goodness i found your video so i could learn how to charge it 😂😂

This is going on my wish list 😊Beautiful unboxing. I always love your interpretations! ❤

Oooh, now I want to start this one next 😂. Isn’t it a lovely kit, the artwork is spectacular ❤ Maybe we can put Stonehenge on the list for my next visit 🧐😊

Lovely painting, sweetie!❤❤❤

Very nice painting. Thank you for sharing. 🩷💜🧡

You’ve got lots of lovely progress… not too far off from a couple of finishes 😊 The first thing I saw when you showed your new HAED design was (not surprisingly) the polar bear 🐻‍❄️ Enjoyed spending time with you, I got another hour of diamond painting done 🎉😂

I’m so glad you have a surgery date. I am waiting for mine. It’s been quite a year health wise but without boring you, I was diagnosed with kidney stones in February and it was decided that I should have laser surgery because of my other major health issue and the size of the stones. May 30th happened but I had an infection so they put a stent in and sent me home with antibiotics. Then 11 June they went in but after working for an hour and only removing 30% of the 3.5 cm stone, they stopped and it has now been decided to do a procedure called PCNL so back on the waiting list. I was laughing at your chicken impressions. You must do those cross stitches, particularly F. Are you going to do diamond painting in the future? I hope so, and I am wanting to do more myself. I did my first DPing on a bookmark recently after a month or two of no painting. Medication had caused a major flare up of carpal tunnel. It’s calming down for the moment but I’ve started a new medication and now it is a wait-and-see scenario. I hope you shift goes well. Will you be far from your job?

She's stunning! Interesting changes to the packaging and tool kit. ❤❤❤

Omg help 😂. I bought this kit and mine is not sticky, stickers are cut crooked, but the is a symbol that I don't have a color key for. It is dark blue straight stuck and not a number 1. Contacted DAC and they won't respond😢. Anyone know what color number it may be...... Please

I’m with you on the EZ frame not being easy. I recently purchased a Nurge scroll rod and I’m so much happier! The tightening and relaxing of the fabric is so much easier ☺️. You’ve made great progress on your projects and love that you started your dragon project. I need to get a wiggle on and start mine from HAED.

It’s a lovely canvas and she is certainly very beautiful. Excited to see you work on her (in the future 😂), the moon is going to be stunning with all those ABs and fairy dust drills 😍

So good to see you again 😊. And also we share the same taste again 😅. I also got the painting 😂❤

🌹🌹❤️❤️🦘🐨

Nice to see you again and this canvas is very pretty. Thank you for sharing. 🩷💜🧡

Stunning painting!! Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new pen.

This painting is beautiful!

Not gonna lie, I think it would've been nice if a template for the design was provided for those of us that would want the same or similar design on something we wanted to decorate

Those 2 drills on the table are stressing me out😂 what are ABs?

Hi Suzanne, lovely stitching as always 😊 Don’t give yourself all the work of restarting Libra, just frog the stars and pick something sparkly to stitch with, it’ll be fab 👌🏼 Thank you for the mention 🙏🏼 Happy June 🫶🏼🤩, Emma x

The dream pattern is actually a design from Emma Congdon from the book Cross stitch for the earth.

Hi Suzanne I would do a restart on Libra….. better to cut your losses now than invest more time into something you’re not sure about. It looks to be more than just the stars - the pattern picture has more gradients through the light patch in the sky. On camera the actual stitch of the light patch looks a bit “blobby”, if that makes sense. Of course, it may well less blobby in person 🙂 Lunar New Year is in February, so technically you’ll have 8 months of Dragon stitching in The Year Of The Dragon 🐉👍🏻 Oh my goodness, the heart pattern with the fox on it 😍 And the wildlife picnic is absolutely gorgeous!!! I think you should definitely stitch that 😁 Fox, owl, badger, cake, scones with cream and SQUIRRELS 😍🥰 😂😂

How do you remove the stickers when you are done the diamond painting, or do you throw it away? It can get expensive I know.

I was wondering do some colours repeat, or are there variations of similar colours?

Lovely to spend time with you Suzanne! Thank you so much for mentioning my first FT - it's so kind of you! Happy stitching ;)

I would swap out the floss for the stars to something that will pop. Maybe a Kreinik or petit treasure braid?

You should just do the restart for the Libra. I was in the same predicament, I couldn't decide to restart my project. I talked myself over and over that it's no big deal and just continue working on it, but evey time I would pick it up, it would bother me that the part that I worked on, it's not the way it should look. Finally I decided to restart and I'm so happy with it because now it looks like it's supposed to. It's worth the restart. It will always bother you until you start it over.

Your happiness makes my heart smile. It's pure joy watching you unbox this. ❤
