A Woodland Winters Tale | DAS Chart 2 Art | Diamond Painting Preparation

I love watching you kit up and down. I use to put dryer sheets in my bottles when kitting up. I will definitely try pouring my diamonds on the dryer sheet first before putting my diamonds in the bottle. Thanks for the tip.

hahaha I have literally just cleared my desk ready to kit up this same kit so now I can do it alongside you Rebecca 🤣💜

That new dryer sheet trick is quicker than my method of dropping a dryer scent bead inside and then pour diamonds in the bottles. If they're really staticky, I leave the beads in the bottles. I use unscented because I'm sensitive to smells - especially botanicals. Thanks to your subscriber who taught us this new way! I have to tell you something my grandson said today that had us all 😂. I'm in the process of moving craft supplies out to my new craft shed. I sweet-talked my grandson into helping carry things out through the screened porch, down the 12 steps to the deck, across 10 feet of deck, and finally into the shed. It took 3-4 trips to move what needed to go out today. When he sat back on the couch beside his Pop, Pop asked, "Did you finish helping your Nan?" He said, "Yes, Sir! Done and dusted!" I guess Pop hasn't ever heard that expression so he asked our grandson what that meant. My sweet boy and I both laughed because we knew where we got that expression. He likes to sit with me and play his video game or read while I watch my favorite KZbin creators. I never knew if he was paying attention to the tutorials or WIP & Chats - but he must do because that's an expression he picked up from you. 😊

Awe, I love it. What an amazing boy!

You just MIGHT be anticipating that you will have more time to work on this than you are hoping. You are one busy, busy woman…it is the Christmas season…you have family visiting from Australia…you have orders to fill…and your quilting will be calling your name. 😂 Just enjoy whatever time you can squeeze in to do this, Rebecca! 🎄❤️

[@addmorezest]

So true! 🤣

This dryer sheet hack is so simple I am sure a lot of us are kicking ourselves for not thinking of it sooner! No more cutting up little bits of dryer sheet, what a pain that was! I have the scented ones & the scent is really overpowering, that sweet sickly aroma almost gives me headache but better than messing about with little pieces. Thks to the zesty who suggested this, what a game changer for kitting up.

[@addmorezest]

It really is! It's made such a difference for me already!

Hi Rebecc. I will also be working on this kit as well. Additional prep steps that o do is mark a 10 grid for each door on both the canvas and on the charts. It makes it easier to keep track of the symbols. I love your channel but I’m sad that I’ve gone thru all of your play lists, so I’m not sure what to listen to. Lol. Have a great day, and if I don’t see you until Thanksgiving, have a great Thanksgiving on Thursday. I know you Brits don’t celebrate it, but American here.

[@BLAdcock]

Do you use a pencil to mark the canvas?

[@addmorezest]

Great idea!

[@ladydax4065]

I have this one and floral but I'll be working on some unfinished WIPs alongside the advent one.. as I want to clear the decks for a new start in January 🥰🫂💚

[@lizzieclark4293]

Ordered mine yesterday can’t wait

[@nataliaszymczak5275]

Oh my god I can't wait

[@trish2964]

🥰 I posted a picture in the Facebook group showing my cat watching your video. He seemed mesmerized. I don't know if it was the visual or the voice, but he didn't move the entire video.

[@addmorezest]

That is awesome!

[@NancyCanadian]

I will do white Christmas for the event. I am just finishing up an Oraloa

[@melissabrooks4932]

Rebecca Im so sorry that you have been sick. I do hope you feel better soon. I am really looking forward the the December waffle. Ive got a Christmas Kitty by Puffy Gater / distracted by Diamonds that Im working on right now. Once that is finished I will get back to my Outside the Sweetshop By Helkoryo / DASUK and hopefully get that completed before the end of the year. As Im typing to you its our Thanksgiving morning and I am super excited because my sister and Grand-Niece are coming today. I havent seen either of them in 2 years so Im over the moon. My Grand-niece coming is a surprise to my daughter so when she sees her at the door she is gonna be so happy. With that I want to wrap up by wishing everyone in the states a very happy Thanksgiving. I hope all our Zesty families are happy healthy and doing well. Big hugs Rebecca to you and your family.

[@addmorezest]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I kitted this one up on Sunday (23rd) just finished my second square today. I found it easier to complete the blank area first (in the envelope) and then do the charted symbols on the canvas. On the first square I did the symbols already on the canvas while I was using that colour and found it confusing when trying to count. I'm also using decision roulette to pick which square to do. So far it's 19 and 16

I’m doing A Woodlands Winter Tale at the moment while it’s winter here and I plan on doing the floral one in the spring when the flowers come back. I keep wanting to call it A Wonderland Winters Tale 🤣 Maybe it’s because I think it’s wonderful? 🤣 x

[@addmorezest]

I keep doing the same. When doing the files for Pattern keeper I kept naming them wrong too. 🤣

[@Blossom_Chops]

Hi Rebecca, does that mean u don't have to put the tiny piece of dryer sheet in each bottle ?

[@ladydax4065]

I didn't when I kitted up Baby and they are all still static free 😁🥰💚

[@addmorezest]

I've not done. A few have still had a little static (the end of the bottle) but I don't feel like a little piece of dryer sheet would have made any difference, so I'm all for getting rid of that step.

Hi Rebecca… Will you use pattern keeper for this? I’m having trouble with my pattern keeper (I’m absolutely new to pattern keeper). My pattern keeper does not show the legend on the right hand side for me to choose a symbol. Can you or anyone help me out pls?😌❤️ Blessings to all Zesties. ❤️💖

[@diamondartstudioukltd]

A Woodland Winter’s Tale has just had the downloads updated to be pattern keeper compatible. If you download the new file it should work 💜

[@addmorezest]

What Diamond Art Studio said 👆🏻. The Pattern Keeper compatible charts have just been released.
