Hi it’s me again just like to say thank you to you and family for all you do and the dp community

[@jessdiamondpaints]

Day 5 and I’m having so much fun painting along with you. Rather appropriate that we got Waffle delivery Luna barks during the June waffle -that had me chuckling. Glad you enjoyed your time away.

Hi Rebecca! Ok, new video series idea…”Life Hacks with Rebecca.” I loved listening to you give us tips for washing our face while brushing our teeth and making sure we don’t forget to take our vitamins! 😆. Great video as always, thank you! 🐝

[@DoroBePunkt]

I needed two june waffle videos to nearly finish my section. 🤣 Thank you for the daily videos and your company while diamond painting.

[@mrsbgg8687]

Hi all since I started dp I have learnt a lot from you Rebecca and it’s nice to watch your videos every day I don’t comment all the time and June waffle I’m happy that I’m joining in with you and all sorry for a long comment

Hello and welcome back. On the topic of multiplacing being cheating, I have a story. 30 plus years ago when I was just starting to quilt, my friend told me that using a sewing machine anywhere in the process of quilting was cheating. Me, being new, started had piecing my queen sized quilt. It didn’t take long before I got out my sewing machine and told her I would quit if I had to do that. 😂 Then she had me believing that at the quilting part, it had to be hand quilted. After a few quilts, I got out my machine again. To the point that after 20 years, I got a longarm. I agree with you that cheating to one person is not necessarily to another. Then today you were reading the comment about taking your puzzles apart. And you said that you put the side pieces in a baggie. I automatically said out loud, “that’s cheating!” I had a good laugh about that. Finding and putting together the outside of a puzzle is my job. I don’t really like the rest. I am enjoying this June waffle. 🧡🐢🧡🐢🧡🐢

Cleaning does go on for days for me haha x

Hi Rebecca and fellow zesties happy day 5 glad you had a lovely time away and enjoyed some time off ❤ speaking of walking washing machines, mine doesn’t walk but sometimes my washing machine will fill up and just continue to fill 😮 water will begin to go everywhere throughout my laundry and hall. Luckily my house is pretty much tiles so when I realise I take full advantage and mop the floors and wash walls and all. It only does this a few times a year but what do you expect when the machine is about 26 years old ❤ I wash 1 or 2 loads (depending on towels every 2 days and weekends are mostly bed linen and blankets so at the moment I really can’t complain about over filling when it only happens once every few months ❤ I just prefer older washing machines built much better back in the day lol. Happy dotting Zesties

I enjoy hearing all the dog stories! We have neighbors on both sides of us who have dogs. Several years ago, we had a black lab and a blind Chinese pug. One neighbor had a Jack Russell and a chocolate lab. The other neighbor had a dog of unknown mixed heritage. When my daughter and I would get home from school, we would inevitably find 3 extra dogs in our yard. The Jack Russell would "pogo" over the top of the fence. The Chocolate lab would jump on top of his dog house and then sail over the fence. The mixed pup loved to dig under the fence no matter what we tried to prevent that. Mandy and I couldn't figure out why our yard was the "fun" yard where all the dogs wanted to be until I caught my hubby handing out treats to all the dogs one Saturday afternoon. Mystery solved!😂

Finally caught up!!! Hurray!!! Have to say the advise you gave for the Zestie who is doing her GED was fantastic. How wonderful are you?? 😁

[@graylagran7443]

Yep. Me hitting pause again. Welcome home! Going away is nice, but there’s nothing like coming home. Glad y’all had an amazing getaway ❤ Thank you for answering my question about the 3d printing and filament. How cute would different colored tray stoppers be?! Oh, and speaking of puzzles, I put them back in the box too. The only one I’ve glued and put on the wall was a botanical of the Cacti of Arizona. I sealed it, mounted it to foam board, and used command strips to adhere to the wall.

[@DiamondPaintingwiththeEdwards]

Hi Rebecca ❤ I love doing baby quilts. I think a Frankenstein tray would be interesting to see. Halloween trick or treat 🤔

[@kimdelger9976]

Just in case you need to know what size quilt you need to make...I have a queen size bed. OK...I'll settle for a lap quilt. 🤣🤣

[@hennys5549]

Hi Rebecca 🤗 Is it possible you make a video about the tray making process? I think that would be interesting to watch 😊 Thank you for all that you and your family does for us Zesties!! 🙂🤗🧡

[@LivsDottingDen]

Yorkshire traders has some fab puzzles which I might get some to create and put up in my place instead of framed pictures :) I love completing jigsaws xx

[@carrieskoglund]

Yay for Day 5! About dogs, I prefer medium to large dogs. I have 2. A 13 year old Golden retriever/lab mix and an approximate 7 year old Pitbull Mix. We're taking a break right now, but we foster dogs and have fostered big and small. Our Pitbull, Axel Rose, was actually our first, and only, foster fail. We fell in love and couldn't give him up. It's hard to say goodbye to your fosters, but so far we've only kept Axel, out of our 15 fosters. Today, is Botox for my Migraines day. So fingers crossed I continue to get more improvement from this second dose. I get it every 12 weeks, as long as insurance doesn't decide to deny it suddenly. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Greetings from rainy Atlanta, Rebecca and my fellow zesties! Speaking of dogs that jump, reminds me of another kind of "jumper." True story: I live in a sub-division with lots of neighbors and a bit of wooded areas, and we often see "domesticated" deer. One day the gate to our backyard 4-foot-high fence was open. Two deer came inside the fence. One was an adult and the other a little one with a brown coat and white spots. As they moved across the yard, the adult simply jumped over the fence to get out, but the little one just stood there looking lost and confused. He couldn't figure out what to do. I wanted to go out there and lead him to the gate, but of course that would have scared him off. The adult deer was no help at all. Finally, the little deer figured out how to go back through the gate ... and they lived happily ever after. 🤣🤣🤣💚💚💚

I would love a rainbow tray :)

Hi Rebecca, My walking machine mishap on the last weekend was because we put in 2 blankets instead of just the one to save time, pretty bad Idea since the horrible sound it made as it walked and banged into our glass door was not fun at all but lesson learned. We also had a busy weekend diging up the garden since we are building it up as we can and we now have a lemon and a lime tree added to our garden.

Pause! Rebecca, who does the wash in the house? Does each of the kids have a designated wash day? Or do you do it all? My household is a party of 1, so I typically wash on Fridays. I don’t want to “work” on the weekends. I’m in the 🇺🇸 so I also use the dryer.

[@alicat61]

Hi, Rebecca. Today is the 9th day of June Waffle. The grandkids are still here, but their dad and step mom came down last night and have taken them out for the day. So..I went to church, then came home and started diamond painting and getting caught up. Love having the grandkids, but have missed diamond painting. Working on an Alphonse Mucha panel for the Summer with the Masters event. Once I get caught up, I should be able to keep on track with the Waffle

[@LivsDottingDen]

Love an Ikea trip :) I’m not sure if your hubbys work has any sort of way to get some working from home items like chairs but mine has an allowance we can use to purchase any items we need. They reimburse us of the amount we use.

[@mysteriousdays]

While I watched this video (and scheduled my science test!) I went ahead and relocated a lot of my Cosmic Trip drills into only one Elizabeth Ward case, as I bought three extra packages of the extra tiny size. I may need to order a third tray, eventually, but for now I'm happy with 39 extra tiny size on top of my original 26, as they are the most commonly used size. Now all my drills fit into one tray and that makes me happy. In other news (and part of the reason I'm seemingly behind) is my four-year-long reading slump is over thanks to Fourth Wing. I have read six books in a month, all by Sarah J. Maas, and on average I'm reading at least 200 pages a day. I'm loving it, bought a reading journal, and am taking on the challenge to read my entire book collection (I own around 200 books, collected over a decade, with a few duplicates for special editions and such of my favorites) to see what I want to keep, get rid of, etc. And that way I'm not spending an arm and a leg on my newest obsession (and thing wrecking my sleep schedule).

Hi Rebecca. We would love a dog but we all disagree on what one. My son wants a pug, my daughter wants a husky , my husband wants collie and I want a westy. So we got a cat 😂😂. Xx

[@Corrin3050]

I can't fully take part this year, I'm going to get foot surgery tomorrow. My two toes after the big one are too long and it's causing me pain so I'm going to get that fixed so I finished my wip on the 1st and I'm hoping to revamp my round spare storage. I just hope I coherent enough on Friday for launch.

[@daiana8170]

Hi Rebecca and fellow Zesties. I just wanted to share a tip with regards to “walking washing machines”. LOL. I have a relative who is in the business of appliance repair. He says that the cause of this is due to the load of clothing in the machine not being distributed evenly in the drum. If the machine starts walking, he suggests you open the door and check if the load is favouring one side of the drum. Moving some of the clothing around to better distribute the weight should help, along with ensuring the machine is on level flooring, or that the machine has been levelled with the feet. I thought this may help. If not I will tell my relative to turn in his license. LOL!! 😂😂😂

[@ladydax4065]

😂 the door on my machine won't open until the load is finished 😳😂

[@daiana8170]

@@ladydax4065Your machine must not be a top loading machine. That would make sense. You wouldn’t want to be able to accidentally open a front loading machine. Can you imagine??😮😂😂

[@ladydax4065]

[@Blossom_Chops]

Here in the 🇬🇧 it is unusual for us to have a top loader washing machine. I've not seen one for sale anywhere for years 🤔🤔

Hi Rebecca, in regards to trays, are you able to make a clear/transparent tray please? As my eyesight deteriorates, it's easier to see the diamonds in a tray if it's transparent or semi-transparent so the light from the light pad can shine through the bottom, making the diamonds easier to see in the tray. If not then that's fine, I understand but I thought it might be a good idea for people who have bad/poor eyesight.

Hello Rebecca, I am thinking long term about getting a 3D printer. (At least a year out ) Would you mind telling me what king of printer you have. I would not feel bad if you don't. I am subscribed to some 3D printing channels and have almost made up my mind. But it you don't mind ... just the printer you love the most and why.If I win the lottery, it will move to my top ten list, lol ..but I need to play the lottery also😂.
