As I am working on projects and enjoying the process, my mind is also relaxing (as we know, craft is perfect for mindfulness and relaxation) and I'm finding that I'm having lots of new ideas for the channel which I hope to share with you in the future. This channel was never intended to be a place for me to show off and talk about myself and what I'm doing, I always envisaged it to be a place for community and to share tips and tricks, discuss projects together and share ideas. Watch this space as my channel evolves - please consider subscribing (it's free) and hit the like button as this really helps get the channel noticed and gathers momentum for us to all share in our amazing craft. Thank you, every one of you is appreciated.
Have fun with your diamond painting and/or cross stitch and see you next time.

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

[@stonemagpie]

Hi Kym, I hope you manage to get your cross stitch - really there's never enough time for everything we want to do is there? 😂

[@antheaczarna2878]

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 🎉😂

[@stonemagpie]

Hi Anthea, a special memory incorporated in that lovely JW image 🐻‍❄ I think I need to see some update pics of your dp, only fair 😉

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?

[@stonemagpie]

Oh my goodness Christine, poor you. Sending lots of healing wishes your way ✨ I will be diamond painting again, how can I not when I have collected so many gorgeous kits, I just can't promise when it will be. Thanks for watching Christine

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.

[@stonemagpie]

Hi Claudia, thank you for watching and commeting however I'm now intrigued ... which HAED chart have you got?

[@claudiascrafts887]

@@stonemagpie It was a limited edition freebie as the title is Valentines 2024 Venus by Michele Sayetta.

@@claudiascrafts887 how lovely to get a freebie 😊

[@kymclinton3140]

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

[@stonemagpie]

Hi Kym, starting from scratch I would say a small kit using 14 aida. I prefer the finish of a smaller count though and now have a varierty of 16, 18 and 20 and I think the 20 count using one thread over one is my new favourite. I hope that helps and thanks for watching.
