Thank you Susan, I can do the basics, but I always want to run before I can walk haha.

O wow!!! you sure do have a lot on the go! Love all your makes just curious how long approx does it take to make that beautiful diamond art, that is amazing 🤩

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you, usually a diamond painting takes about 2-3 months for me if I work on it fairly steadily , but lately I haven't been doing nearly as much, so it will take me probably take a lot longer. They are quite big, that one was about 60cm × 80cm, but you can get smaller ones that don't take as long

Hi Helen. This was a lovely video. I really like this new format! Your handiwork is also very beautiful. My favourites were the floral zip bag and the knitted shawl. Gorgeous colours. And your garden looks amazing! What is the name of the very first pinky/purple vine flower shown? It doesn't look like Wisteria. I hope you have a lovely holiday. Cheers from Canada!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Those two are my favourites too, as for the format, I gave to get better at my breathing haha, it sounded like I had been running but was just nerves, I guess that will get easier as I get more used to being in front of the camera. Both vines were wisteria, the first is called Black dragon and us a double, the itger us the common one, which I dont know the name of. We also have a white one that looks really bridal, us just coming put now, so will pop it on the next vlog.❤
