Diamond Painting Kit and Chat - My Largest Kit EVER!!! Small Shop Unboxing: Crafted Makes Pen!

[@carolantrim]

Thanks Kim. I am kitting up my biggest ever kit as well. It's 50 X 235 cm, yes that's 8 ft. long and it has 100 colors. This will be a background canvas to work on over a years time for an event that is going on with this canvas. Mostly working out how to maneuver this thing around while working on it will be the toughest part. Good luck on your beautiful large canvas. Happy Spring!

[@kimbaskrafts]

Oh wow Carol! That’s awesome! What canvas is it!!!!!??????

Thanks so much Sharon! Have a great weekend! ♥️♥️❤️❤️

Hi Kim I love your kit up's downs wip and chats. Most times you Crack me up. I'm so sorry about your uncle and I didn't know your dog passed. Look forward to part 2.

[@kimbaskrafts]

Thanks Denise! I wish I could do more of them 😂

I can’t wait for this to come back into stock. I’ve been trying to collect dreamer confetti pieces!

[@kimbaskrafts]

Well this is one for you then! Welcome to my channel 😘😘😘

[@gemsdivine]

You are so funny! 😅😊 TY as always for great video, but also for the little chuckles!

[@kimbaskrafts]

Hi Gems, thank you 😂😂 I’m glad you enjoy my humor and we can laugh together 🤗🤗

[@DianesDiamondPaintingJourney]

That is certainly a huge confetti, heavy canvas.But I bet it's just going to look stunning when it's done. I just finished one that was 51 x 170cm , but it only had 51 colors and not much confetti. So glad to hear that you're going to get to go on a vacation and I hope you have lots of fun with your mother in law. I love going to get my hair done. But I don't have to look at myself in the mirror because when I take my glasses off.I can't see what they're doing😂😂😂. I will be watching for part two.❤😊❤

[@tammyglasenappsimon4941]

I am doing two events Apt and May and they both will work together but event in May has to be a new start. One in April I don't think so but using my April canvas for two events. So both canvases I will be working on. Plus I have a custom which will take back seat most likely.

[@kimbaskrafts]

Nice! That is a huge canvas! Hahahaha I can see far just fine but need readers. So I can see how those mirrors make me look a hot mess. Yes! I blame the mirrors! 😂

Just got my hair highlighted and I couldn't agree more about feeling vulnerable and very ugly in those mirrors...even when they're finished and have done a great job...glad to hear I'm not alone or a weirdo....lol

[@kimbaskrafts]

Omg Erin! Me too! I’m so glad I’m not alone! I swear they have the worse mirrors and spray me with ugly spray. I’m like I don’t wanna look 😅😅 so so vulnerable 😭

[@thurayya8905]

Love this kit! It's so big, it's scary, but very exciting. Your tape measure made me laugh. With your little doggie fur baby gone, having something that makes you smile around is a must. Hey, not like you already have about a hundred different things to do, but maybe you should host an event -- an Oraloa along? Love your new pen. I like Crafted Makes, but was worried about the postage. He's so reasonably priced, though, it makes up for it.

[@kimbaskrafts]

Hi Pam! It is huge! I’m excited! Yes, I still have all of her stuff around. Her bed. Her bowls. I’m just not ready to clean it all up yet. Soon. 😭 I’ve thought about an Oraloa event. But I am not sure I wanna do events. I’ve been contemplating it for some time, and I’m still undecided. 🙏🏼

[@mamalou1962]

Hi Kim. I saw the pic of you on the floor beside your canvas. You’re so cute! I hope you have fun with this one. Your comment about the helmet made me laugh out loud. I hope you go soon to FL. But get sooo hot there, depending on where you go in Florida, in April. And stays hot through October. We lived in St Petersburg 8 1/2 years. I hated it. Living there is either hating or loving it. No in between. The heat and sand are what kicked my butt. I’m an Autumn/ cooler weather kind of gal. I have not worked on a round by Dreamers either. I’m like you, don’t know if I have one. … ok. I looked. That would be a no. But I do have a round by Craftibly. Wow! I am a creature of habit without knowing it! All my DAC are square too. I did not realize that. Things that make you go hummmm You and Bob. LOL. I would have told JJ “you can disagree with me. Sit there in all your wrongness and be happy”. 😃 I think when you’ve been married a long time you start to automatically do things for each other w/o thinking. JJ and I will have been married 37 years on Thursday-march 28. I love to have the Keriug ready so that when he gets up at 5 PM all I have to do is turn it on to make. So when he gets to the kitchen his coffee is 1:18:27 ready for him. If he gets home after daylight he will open the shades for me. One of the very first things I do when I get up is open the shades. I love to walk in our living room first thing and the day light and sun greet me. I have him on my “find my” app on my phone. If I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder if he’s almost home I’ll look on that and see where he is. One of his friends from work said I was stalking him. He told him no, it just gives me comfort. He “gets” me. I would hope after being with me this long he gets me. 😂😂 Thank You for keeping me company tonight. Blessings!❤

[@judivowell5748]

YIKES! That's a lot of drills. It's gonna be gorgeous.

[@kimbaskrafts]

Hi Judi! I know right! Lots and lots of drills! 🤣 I’m dying to start it! But I have work tonight and tomorrow night. So I’m going to wait till next week ♥️

[@jessdiamondpaints]

Don’t get overwhelmed it’s basically like working on 2 90x70. I could do it in a couple months unless I got bored and had to take a few days break but I don’t have to go to work so It’s a different situation. I’d try to do a column every other week alongside some smaller projects. 16 columns should work. I can’t wait to see one of these done. Mindy is doing one along with Craftnado. I am not sure which image they are doing…might be the same one. They arent done yet.

[@jessdiamondpaints]

Dreamer designs rounds are amazing. The grid is perfect. DAC needs to tighten their round grid.

[@kimbaskrafts]

I think the schedule I made is working perfectly! Honestly, when I’m done my 3 squares for the week, I want to work on it more! But I have the other canvas I have a hard time stopping too 😂😂 it’s the battle in my head! And I love hearing that about dreamers rounds! I don’t even know if I have any rounds by them! I have to get my stash book done!

[@joalgustas6498]

I know this an older video but you inspired me to get the Christmas one. I want all three, they’re gorgeous!

Hiii Joal, welcome to my channel! Yay! I love that one too!!! I actually love a lot of them lol. It’s been a lot of fun working on it! 💖

Hi Kim, good morning from Southern California . I am so sorry about the loss of your dog. My Cocker Spaniel Darwin died in January of 2022. I miss my Master Escape artist. I still have another dog a Doxle named Herschel who is 10 years old. I want to get a companion for Herschel and myself but my caregiver thinks wrongly that dogs are not social animals. Love your story about the elevator at hospital. My Mom always had my sister, me and herself visit my Dad after hours. We would go through the ER. Don't ask how, I don't remember. But somehow We got on the elevator up to my Dad's room. I am glad Bob is doing way better. Have fun in Florida. Long flight for me from LAX. Cold here also. Major Thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday. The canvas you are kitting up is beautiful. Looks like Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia. Have a wonderful day

[@kimbaskrafts]

Thank you Elizabeth! I miss my baby girl. She was such a treasure. ❤️❤️ I love the name Herschel. Is it from The Walking Dead by chance? They are so social 😭 Yes! Always through the ER when the lobby is closed. ♥️ Thank you! Can’t wait for Florida actually. I’m surprised at how excited I am. ❤️

[@elizabethwarman9028]

Herschel is named for 18th Century Astronomer William Herschel

[@bevjones7485]

Sorry Kim I hadn’t heard about your dog. I believe Mindy did this canvas with Angie if I’m not mistaken. Hope your mom is good. My sister can’t tell her left from her right. It is a disability. When all of us 4 are together she is not allowed to give directions. (We travel a lot together). Thank you for the company. Always enjoy your chats. I’m headed to bed. Goodnight. Peace and love abide with you 💕

[@kimbaskrafts]

Thanks Bev! I miss her 😭 I saw them unbox it last year! I wonder how far along they are? Thanks as always for watching ❤️❤️

[@marybeth17]

Hi, this is my 1st time seeing & watching you. I’m not even sure why I watched the whole video, because I haven’t ever done a diamond painting. At least not yet, though I recently put 1 in my cart. I was honestly enjoying watching & listening to your stories. BTW I loved hearing the 1 about the elevator. So of course I did subscribe & I put my bell on. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day.

It’s from Temu and it didn’t really have a name to it but I call it cherry blossom land scape it’s a 55 X 45 it looks similar to your because of the bridge going across.

[@tetve]

I'd put one "bottle" of each color on the tray and extra bottles to the other tray. Now You can't have all the colours in front of You on one tray... just a hint ;) I liked to do something so challenging, but I don't know where to find one with a picture I like. And with a reasonable price...
