W.I.P. + Chat Ep. 6 - Lego + Diamond Painting with a Special Guest!

[@dplandscapeloveralicia]

This was so fun! Loved getting to meet Eric! Thank you for being so willing to share your lives with us. I hope viewers will always respect boundaries with you as you share so willingly. Never ever feel you need to explain or defend how you spend your time or money. I love your big dining room table, but wherever you film from will be fun, so wherever you choose!

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you for being so kind and supportive! 💖

[@jamylareininger3802]

What a fun Video you Guys thanks for Sharing.You are such a nice couple ❤🎉🎉

[@ritatucker694]

I love when a husband has a craft also and you work side by side each other you doing your crafts, it’s so cute. You compliment each other so well, you’re so lucky. Love your kitties making an entrance. They are so beautiful.❤

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you!! 🥰 I always wanted to marry my best friend 💖

[@HappyCatHappyLife]

First, I just started watching and I’m so excited for this video. Maybe I should clarify….WE are so excited. My cat is so into staring at your cats and watching you. lol. I have some fun pictures and a video. She’s meowing at your kitties. Never seen her do this before. ❤❤😂😂 Too much cuteness. Haven’t even got through much of this video but hope you do more like this. 😊😊😊

[@messygirlcrafts]

Awww! Baby kitty virtual play date! ♥️ thank you for watching!

[@sallymiller7779]

Hey Ashley!😊Loved your video and getting to know your husband. Wow! You have quite the collection. So wonderful you two have hobbies you enjoy together. I really love how you use your office for WIPs and your unboxing. I just live the vibe of your office and think the background is unique from the other Diamond painting creators. Seems like your office has great light.. anyway that is my take. Look forward to all your videos! 😊❤

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you for watching and the feedback! ♥️♥️

[@GraceLBDP]

😂Ashley what a great couple you two are. When Eric ask if making him a log book would make you happy... i burst out laughing!!! What a wonderful hubby. Now I want to try a lego kit!!

[@messygirlcrafts]

He’s the best thing that’s ever been mine! ♥️ Also, yes to trying Lego!!! 🤓💖

[@melissabrooks4932]

Your entire collection is epic! Thanks for sharing everything. Also say Pew Pew Pew again!!!! LOL love it. Just imagine if he moves into that guest room he could dedicate an entire wall to his cars. it would look so cool. I hope you guys do an updated tour of both spaces.

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour ♥️ We will definitely update you all if we switch up the spaces 💖

[@aleialaw]

I've gotten into doing the lego flowers. This kitis humongous! The flowers take me forever. Thank you for sharing.

[@messygirlcrafts]

They are definitely a commitment! 😂💖

[@susandowney6386]

Great video. Eric's a keeper ❤

[@messygirlcrafts]

He really is! 💖

[@aimeedoiron]

Hi Ashley!! Thanks so much for sharing your diamond painting with the world. I recently discovered diamond painting and then discovered you. I really enjoy your content. Also, y'all are so cute. Y'all remind me of my sister, her husband, and all our friends.

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! What was the first kit you picked up?! 💖

[@christiannajahn2669]

The way I took today off to diamond paint all day and wished for a long WIP + chat video to listen to and here shows up this 3.5 hour video 😂 perfect 🤌🏽

[@messygirlcrafts]

😂😂😂 you know I don’t know how to stop ♥️

[@KarenBoyd-tm4bd]

Great video. Thanks Eric for being a special guest.

[@messygirlcrafts]

He says no problem! ♥️

[@daritzag5798]

Oh my goodness I loved this video. You both are adorable together the conversations were interesting and fun! I love the hobbies you both have and getting to know more of you Ashley and your husband Eric:) Keep doing what you do and can’t wait for more content God bless you both☺️

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you so much for getting to know us! 💖🥰

[@KarenBoyd-tm4bd]

When I first retired, I wrote three children’s books and self published on Amazon. I need to write the third in a series to finish it up but my diamond painting is getting in my way. I always wanted to write since I was little so I did. 🤣🤗

[@messygirlcrafts]

That’s so amazing! I feel like I could write a book if I had a really good editor 😂♥️

[@sammibain1963]

Hi Eric….. thanks Ashley for another great WIP and Chat….. I like the idea of moving the bigger unboxings to the kitchen table….. all that natural light is .

[@messygirlcrafts]

You’re so welcome! Eric says hi 💖 thank you for the feedback on the location! I will need to test it out! 🤓

[@Jasmine.Raye02]

Loved this video and seeing your husband. Me and my husband are into legos and have built a few different ones. I look forward to more videos as always and maybe some future Lego videos too 😊

[@messygirlcrafts]

Yay! I’m glad you enjoyed it ♥️

[@VerenaHeidelberger]

What a fun video and you two are adorable! You definitely compliment each other. One of my favorite tv shows is Xena: Warrior Princess and the 30th anniversary convention is at the end of the month in Burbank, CA. I've been to several, the last being 2 years ago, and will be going to this one as well! 😄

[@messygirlcrafts]

That’s awesome! I hope you have an amazing time ♥️

[@juleslorraine9885]

Hello Eric and Ashley! Agree that on a cost per time lego is very expensive.Latest project is MOC of the Battle of Helms Deep! MOc projects let me dabble for a long time! Working on Notre Dame Night to match with Lego Notre Dame. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@messygirlcrafts]

The Lego Notre Dame is so cool!! Thank you for watching! ♥️

[@MardiJackson]

This is beautifully gorgeous!!! ❤your Cozy Cabin, 🤩

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you!! I can’t wait to finish the next row! 💖

[@_raxify_]

guurl i just found out about u and your channel end of last year and here i am binge watching your vids! this one is sm fun, i think im in the minority where i prefer and love long form content such as this. 🤩

[@messygirlcrafts]

I’m so glad you found the channel!! My chat videos are always beefy 😂♥️

[@Brigitte-i8d]

Yes unboxing there Would be fun

[@messygirlcrafts]

I might try a combination, we will see! ♥️

[@darklady10001]

hey Ashley and Eric! 🧡 My dear friend, I love you, but I couldn't concentrate at all because I was absorbed in watching Eric put together the Mercedes. As a Formula 1 fan, this was the perfect LEGO set ever. I love Fallon Gems and listening to you, I just finished a painting from her and I'm impressed. The confetti was 11/10 but it was worth it. You brightened my day and I thank you for that. On January 9, I had to say goodbye to my dog ​​and I am distraught, sad and feel a huge emptiness. . I adopted him when he was 8 years old and he spent 7 years with me. He was smiling, brave, loved everyone and gave me a lot of joy. Now I feel like all that joy has evaporated 😭😭 I miss him so much

[@messygirlcrafts]

Oh no!! 🥺 I’m so so sorry my friend ❤️‍🩹 my heart is breaking for you, seriously. I know how tough it is to lose a fur baby and only time heals the wound. I’m glad you could step out of it mentally for a little and enjoy the video. Eric has an epic car collection and I’m sure he will smile when I tell him you were excited to watch him build it! Sending you warm hugs! 🫂

[@WhiteVanLady68]

Thank you for a fabulous and very interesting episode

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you! I hope you liked the tour and the chat ♥️

[@LianaH8448]

Hi Eric! Nice to meet you. I love Lego as well an have built a lot of their car Technic edition and the smaller race car series. This was great would love to Lego along with you both I still have my Lamborghini to build. It’s been sitting while I Diamond Paint and build dioramas 😂

[@messygirlcrafts]

He says hi!! He was definitely into a Lego Live so we will have to get that on the books this year! ♥️

[@nursecindy3004]

When I'm working on my diamond painting I listen to Queen (my favorite band), the doors and other music that I like and I watch/listen to Stand Up Comedy,wip and chat diamond painting on youtube or Family guy and Mike and Molly. I'm not a gamer, but I play Candy Crush. And when my club plays (Feyenoord Rotterdam) I listen/watch the game when I work on my diamond painting. Your cats are so cute😍 and you guys are a cute couple. Love this wip and chat video

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thank you for sharing!! Favorite band twins 👯‍♀️ ♥️

[@daisiesanddecaf]

This was so much fun to watch! Thank you for sharing! I fully admit to running to Amazon to grab a Tinker Bell BrickHeadz. Had to have her! ❤

[@messygirlcrafts]

Yay!! So cute right?! Brick Headz are an amazing first build for folks that are new to LEGO! ♥️

[@daisiesanddecaf]

@ Definitely not new. 😅 Just didn’t know she existed. My children are 27 and 20. We had a house full of Lego when they were younger and they still collect specific sets. My daughter especially loves the 18+ line.

[@messygirlcrafts]

Oh! A vet then 😎 Do you build with them?

[@daisiesanddecaf]

@ I don’t… but we do have a 3 in 1, a Bookshop, and a Polaroid camera in our stash. I should get on those. They’d probably have words for me for stealing their fun. 😆

[@messygirlcrafts]

@ your just “helping”, it’s fiiiiiine 😂♥️

[@dianecurtis7512]

I’m enjoying meeting Eric! You two have a wonderful relationship. My favorite vacation is a cruise. Treat brownies. We have two dogs. A Goldendoodle and a boxer. I am trying to talk my hubby into legos now. LOL. We are newly retired and he needs a hobby

[@messygirlcrafts]

Eric’s favorite dessert is brownies! ♥️ Lego is so fun, maybe get him a little car!

[@wendylaver1806]

Hi Eric, nice to meet you and your hobby. Yes Ashley I think using the diningroom table for unboxings would be much better.

[@messygirlcrafts]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m gonna try it soon!

[@amygray5150]

Hi Ashley Hi Erik… you two are Sooo cute together…love how he just goes with the flow… My son is building the orange Lego car.. I think it’s a Mercedes.. And he wants to be on an island just you and him that’s the sweetest thing ever ..💕

[@messygirlcrafts]

He’s my best friend ♥️

[@dplandscapeloveralicia]

I love the crinkling! Never need to cut that out for me!

[@ailurusfulgen1556]

I feel like the anime Eric might be talking about is Ghost Stories? 😂 It's one of the anime I had put on just for comedy after watching a super heavy one. But Ghost Stories was actually so badly received in Japan that they sold it to an American animation studio who dubbed it as an abridged series and it the result was so highly received 😂😂 the things they talk about in there completely take away from the horror of it all so it's just a comedy series that I couldn't stop laughing at LOL I would try to give you a quote but uh... I think I might just pass so that I don't get flagged 😅 Also, I have been silently jealous of your Rivendell set! It is the number one kit that I've been dying to get (I get my Lego fix through doing some of the flora kits) but I only have intentions of getting that kit once I move into my own house. I plan to use it as a feature piece in my house somewhere because it's just THAT gorgeous 🥰

[@messygirlcrafts]

Ooh! I’ll have to ask him if that’s the name of the anime! The Rivendell set is a stunner for sure, but you’re smart to wait. I would hate the thought of having to move it 😬 thank you for watching! 💖

[@ruthe9751]

Hi! I finally got the Bella Art d' Nicole clamps. However, I am not sure if I am using them correctly. Can you show us how you roll your canvas? Because they look better than what I am doing I am pretty sure. Nice video and thank you for sharing great times with us.

[@messygirlcrafts]

Sure! When I start my next big project I will put the canvas in the roll on video ♥️

[@ruthe9751]

@@messygirlcrafts Great! Thank you! Also, can you suggest me the names of good putties? I bought nyx's' that you suggested but some of my putties are so runny that transfer to the canvas and is a mess.

[@messygirlcrafts]

@@ruthe9751 I’m using Graysons Creations right now and it’s pretty good, but I’m in a warmer climate so that happens to me too when any putty gets warmed up. It starts to stick. I’ve found that using less putty and not letting it over hang out of my multi placer has helped!

[@ruthe9751]

@@messygirlcrafts Thank you because where I live right now is very cold but I still have that problem. Thank you for your recommendation. I will order it.

[@ruthe9751]

@@messygirlcrafts I just got the Graysons Creations putty in Etsy. I hope it works for me when it arrives. Do you use it for the tip or for the multiplacer?

[@MardiJackson]

Eric, I really like your puzzle trays. Where do you get them?

[@messygirlcrafts]

We got them on Amazon! I will add them to my link in the description ♥️

[@bethgaither1214]

WOW! That LEGO collection is phenomenal! Please tell me you have a spreadsheet with names, date purchased, etc. What a fun video! Marriage made in heaven❤

[@messygirlcrafts]

Haha! We were definitely not as organized with the Lego hoard, but I wish! Definitely a marriage made in heaven ♥️

[@Crazymomlaclair]

You and Erik are like me and my boyfriend .. we play video games in the same room and together .. and when I am Diamond painting he plays his game in the same room

[@messygirlcrafts]

It’s so nice to have them near, even when you aren’t doing the same thing ♥️

[@Crazymomlaclair]

@ yeah for sure is that nice time spent together even when not doing the same things ..
