Diamond Painting WIP and Chat & Completion - Heaven and Earth Designs

[@susansieracki4369]

Ok, I think that came out gorgeous. I don't think a round HAED would look very good, but thats just my opinion. As far as the person who emailed you that they are not going to watch your videos, that's an absurd thing to do. Clearly, they think that their opinion matters. You have always maintained why you do this channel, and there are plenty of us who have followed you for a long time, so those small minded, mean people don't matter. I have an audio anomaly where there are just some voices that are like nails on a chalkboard to me if I hear them. This is what I do...I just don't watch those videos anymore. I don't write them and tell them their voices annoy me. I don't give them dislikes or leave nasty emails. I simply go on to the next one. People who do what that person did, have a problem and you don't need to deal with it. I commend you greatly for going outside your comfort zone, repeatedly, and giving us the kind of content no one else is giving on their channels, so thank you and keep being you!! Oh, and the tray wars are ridiculous too...lol. People get obsessed and lose their minds sometimes. I have purchased many 3d printed trays and have liked most of them very much for different reasons. However, I purchased Rebecca's trays (4kidsat147) and have never looked back. The reason I use hers exclusively now is they fit my hand the best. FOR ME, they are the best designed and most comfortable. Would I start a fight over my opinion? No, I would not...because that's just a waste of time. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@LilyDiamondPaints]

Perfectly said! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thanks for the awesome comment! I feel like you described what should be common courtesy when someone doesn't like a video. I haven't gotten into buying the 3d printed trays but it good to know that the AMZ trays are good. Thanks very much again for the encouragement!

[@DiamondpaintingMadness]

Love the finish, its really beautiful. Don't change anything just because of one hater, I think you are perfect in your own way. You are you, and I appreciate that so much.

[@barbarasd1196]

I totally agree with you. I, too, enjoy her longer videos.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you so much!

[@betsymacleod1726]

Yeah Joan!! You have it figured out. Keep doing what you are doing and keep contributing to our community. Love you.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you!

[@mindye1000]

Don't those type of people ruin your fun of making videos, as long as you enjoy making videos then that is all that matters. You are doing a good job and keep up the good work. I like knitting up, kitting down, and diamond painting. So I enjoy your channel. Thank you.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you very much for the support!!

[@marthawilliams152]

Soooo glad yr doing a whip and chat with us. Another suggestion you should consider is doing a whip and chat with your mom. She sounds like she is GOOD company I absolutely love yr channel ❤️ 💕

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I tried to get my mom to make a cameo in my videos but she did not want to. I couldn't even get her to say hi lol. Glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@Simply_Rosie]

I really like your whip and chats. Some people are negative and mean because they are not happy people. You’re always so happy and sound so excited on your videos. You should do a whip and chat weekly. I really love how your diamond painting turned out. Keep up the good work.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you so much!

[@melissa.sue.crafts]

Hi! Just popping in waaay later because I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching from the beginning. Just wanted to say this is sooo satisfying and I also love your organization in all your kitting ups and downs! Now... back to more binge watching 😂😂😂

[@diamondpaintingwithjack]

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I appreciate that

[@selenew1242]

It turned out lovely! I love to listen and watch your videos. I tend to diamond paint while you are doing your thing. I love to listen to you as I find your voice relaxing and your giggles fun.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I didn't realize I giggle that much until I got comments about it lol.

[@DiamondpaintingMadness]

Totally agree. Love her giggle, it makes me giggle too, and it just turns my mood up. Keep giggling, Joan! 🤩

[@fairdust1]

Your doing an amazing job. Love the finish of this one. Love your channel

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you so much!

[@Triciag6092]

Your workplace is lucky to have you...a work ethic is hard to find these days. I feel like saying thanks for your service!!!

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you very much!!

[@judivowell5748]

Beautiful painting. You did great!

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you so much 😀

[@bonniecarlson85]

It’s beautiful Joan! Good job.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you very much!

[@Todokai_09]

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Glad they're helping your diamond painting productivity lol

[@KS-xb3cg]

Looks awesome! Good job!

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thanks!

[@cherylyork4272]

It's gorgeous 😍

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thanks!

[@fluffymuffi1]

The benefit of the bigger hard plastic trays is they bounce the drills into alignment better and that's valuable especially if you multi- place. They're great for larger volume of one color as well.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I don't really use larger trays unless I need to do a large amount of color blocking.

[@barbaramonk5436]

Nice work !!

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thanks!

[@darcyfoster2976]

I call you my favorite drill hoarder lol !

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I really am a drill hoarder!

[@sharonwildbore934]

It turned out beautiful thanks for doing the video I loved to see it coming together hope you will do another haed on video 😊

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you so much!

[@annsmith5625]

⚾️ nice finish.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you!

[@fluffymuffi1]

Don't feel pressured to keep talking. Watchers are pretty much just doing their own work so you're providing company.. a combination of silence, stream of consciousness, and tips about your solutions. If people aren't doing their own work while watching you then they don't really need these WIP videos and won't understand them. Also do you realize how many people complain about crinkling cover sheets in unboxing videos? Don't stress about it!

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I surprisingly have not gotten a comment complaining about crinkling plastic. Thank you very much!

[@Craftingwithsheila]

I have been thinking about doing a heaven and earth design diamond painting for some time now. It looks like it might be complicated. But, I still find myself wanting to try one. Could you tell me what the name of your app for your computer is that you use. I have an hp laptop that I would want to put it on, or should I use my tablet. Do I need anything extra to make either one adaptable since they are not Apple products? I tried to cat h what little you said about your app while you were doing a. wip and chat, but my audio was not the best. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I use an App called Pattern Keeper. It is actually an android app so it should work on any device that has an android operating system. Most tablets that are not Apple actually run on Android so you likely already have the system. For my computer, I actually downloaded Nox which is an android simulator so I can use the pattern keeper on my computer.

[@vickibragdon9528]

People can be really mean it's your utube right it's your choice on what you put in it

[@edpereira1908]

I have the same pattern in my stash. For the AB's did you replace all the dmc's you listed for AB or did you use them sparingly for that color? For example 152 had 1141 in the pattern, did you replace all 1141 for AB?

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I replaced all the drills with the AB.

[@laurelbrown4074]

didnt you say you would try a HAED in rounds? have you tried it yet and do you have a video? just curious, thank you! :)

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I haven't started it yet.

[@laurelbrown4074]

@@JoanDiamondPaints ohh ok thank you I'd love to see it whenever you get to it

[@Craftingenthusiast]

People can be hurtful but most people aren't that way. I like your videos:) I like your kitting up videos. If they don't like the content then they can go elsewhere or create their own content on their channel. Keep creating content:)

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I appreciate that!

[@diamondpaintingwithsweett]

Now, Joan, take it from Taylor Swift that haters are going to hate. Just Shake It Off and you keep on doing what you do, baby! Love you, kiddo!😁💜

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@katherinemoeller1356]

Uh - Team Joan here 😁👍🏻

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

💛

[@gailf1853]

Say it with me, "since I started the project I think I will micromanage the poor people that take it over." 🤣😂

[@gailf1853]

Tongue in cheek, teasingly said.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I probably will end up doing that lol mainly just because of curiosity how it will go.

[@jeanettekvinlaug2772]

Diamondpainting6000 said it so well. Please do not change. If people loose their (in your case) tiny quirks, they loose their charm in the same time. You are so charming in your own way. We would not watch you othervice. 😊 And NO, you do not say um that much. Just enough to be you. So, again, please don't change. About showing your face. We do not ask you to show your face everytime. A short presentation in the start of a video is enough. And I am really curious on what you look like. About burn out, I think it happends when we strugle trough when it is not enjoyable anymore. It can be the drills, canvas or image. Or it can be the expetation from yourself or other that we do it even if we do not feel like it right then.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Glad my tiny quirks can be charming. I'm not sure if I'll ever be brave enough to go in front of the camera. I probably wouldn't be able to talk.

[@AcraftyErin]

🧡💖❤️

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

😀

[@diamondpainting_clare3528]

I'm the same with ending the videos I could talk forever about absolutely nothing. Xx

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

At least there's an audience for the long videos. I think many just want to listen to someone while diamond painting.

[@diamondpainting_clare3528]

True. Xx

[@amycain856]

With the person who emailed you, it had to be more about them and how important they feel they are. Crazy.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I agree!

[@mayolson2]

Anyone who has negative things to say my mom always said if you have nothing nice to say then do not say it at all. People who hate probably do not like themself very much and push that unlikability on somebody else.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you!

[@d3k2p0]

You know, I'll be honest. I think it's just humanity. There are times where someone or something bothers me in a video and I start to type out a really long reply and then I sit and think 'there is no kindness in this, what am I accomplishing', delete the comment and move on...but the writing it out even if I didn't publish it can feel a bit cathartic without the downside of being a jerk for no reason. It's the old saying about no matter how great you are, you're never going to be everyone's cup of tea. I don't know why I feel so compelled to say something sometimes, maybe it just strikes a specific nerve I'm not aware I have. That being said, I'm a bit of a loner and hated it most of my life because I wanted to find a place I belonged and no matter how hard I've tried to fit in or relate to people, I've just never been able to (part of it is who I am, but a lot of it is also a childhood of being bullied and never having an opportunity to develop proper social skills). Once I had kids (my husband is the only person I've ever really connected with on a more than superficial level, so if not for him, I wouldn't have the kids either, haha) and eventually got a bit of time to myself, it felt different than it had before, and I've learned to really cherish being alone after so many years of having people hanging onto me every moment of the day. All that to say that I've LOOOONG since accepted that I'm essentially no one's cup of tea and even knowing that, having someone go out of their way to tell me as much would sting, I'm sure and it's because there is no benefit in having that information...like what do you want from me other than to make me feel bad? Especially if you're a stranger. It's one thing to confront someone who you don't mesh well with when you have to interact with them to just set boundaries or something, but it's something else entirely to go out of your way to tell a stranger their existence bothers you. There are PLENTY of youtube creators, big and small, that I don't like and many more who just don't fit what I'm seeking in either content, personality, being able to understand them, appeal of their filming setup, etc...unless they've done something directly to me, there's no point in doing more than moving on.

[@jeanettekvinlaug2772]

I am happy your husband discovered what a nice person you are. I hope many more will see it too, and be your friends. 💜

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I'm glad you were able to find someone you were able to connect with!

[@vickibragdon9528]

People just like to complain

[@vickibragdon9528]

It's ignorant right lol

[@vickibragdon9528]

People are weird

[@jessdiamondpaints]

Yes. Some of the drama was over tray design. 250 is an impressive number. I’m up to 134. Proud of myself because I don’t do many partials. According to gems flow 51 were partials. I’m having an amazing year of completions so I’ll definitely pass 200 before the end of the year. You are doing an amazing job with your channel. Keep it up and ignore any haters. It’s part of the game.

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

I think you said you primarily do the big ones so getting to 134 is awesome. I think probably at least half of mine are specials and most of my full drill ones are 40x50 or smaller. Thank you for the very kind words.

[@jessdiamondpaints]

Gorgeous finish!

[@JoanDiamondPaints]

Thank you!
