WIP and Chat - Some April Fool's fun, event excitement, and schedule changes

[@dragonsjewelcreativegems]

I normally diamond paint while I listen to WIP & Chats but today I was working on some handmade cards. I don't tend to watch watch these WIP's & Chats but rather glance up periodically to see the WIP coming along while I listen and work away on something crafty. 💮🌸🌺

[@AmberGrace69]

🪻🪷🌸 I'm the type of person who listens to you talk while I diamond paint. Listening really keeps me motivated to work on my canvas and helps me work faster. 💜

[@roxypoole3515]

Never when I was looking for a diamond painter doing a HAED would I find someone in the same boat as me.. I love how you talk about your sons and how open you are about how it's difficult to make certain choices ect to know your doing the right thing. I have a 6 year old with autism.. and we just say Tom is Tom and not letting things define him.. he just likes to do certain things different to others.. like we all do 😂 its so good to hear that tour trying to get a diagnosis yourself. In the uk it's so hard to get one as an adult.. but like you I suspect I have traits as well so makes me question if other mental health diagnoses was wrong? Love listening to your videos while enjoying a bit of quiet time 😊🌻🌻

[@llijable]

I fell for that April fools you did, hook line and sinker!!!

[@tonyataylor1419]

Hey, Katie, great WIP & chat. It's fantastic news to hear all the wonderful updates for you & your family. 💐🌸💮🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷

[@vickipeterson3422]

I don’t really have much to say except that you brightened what has been a bad week. Thank you. 💐

[@serenainavan]

🌻🌻As someone who has spent a lot of road trip miles through rural Missouri, I can confirm the billboard binary is in fact repent or motorboat

[@robinpennington5758]

Thank you for the WIP and chat, Katie! I thought your Month In Review video was great! I am sure your over thinking it and everyone got a good laugh from it! Hope you gave a great week! 🎉🎉

[@lennnsdiamonds5783]

I always enjoy hearing about your week & updates about all the things! Happy Belated birthday to Micah!☺️🎉🌸

[@shannonparks7157]

🌺 I think that's the pink flower I have old eyes. Thank you for the wip and chat.

[@tricialucas8125]

🌻🌷Your Aprils Fools Monthly was great. Happy Easter week with your family HUGS🤗🙋‍♀️💜

[@LisaNewf]

Katie, I understand how frustrating it must be not having a car while Adam is working. When my car is in the garage for maintenance for just a couple of hours, I feel so trapped at home even if I don’t have anywhere to go. Lol. Hope you can get a second vehicle soon. 🌸

[@jennifernesci]

Hi Katie! I loved your April Fool's video, especially when you couldn't look at the one painting🤣. I am looking forward to Summer With the Masters this year.🌻

[@katherinerivera72]

April's fools video was funny. I had to stop my WIP cause that was hilarious to watch. I enjoyed it a lot, you should keep on doing some more like that. Have an amazing week!

[@diamondpainting.by.fairydust]

A little of what I’m doing for metal tips that fit loosely….use some glue dots! Works like a charm!🌺

[@quinellleftwich1781]

Im glad Adam is enjoying his job and I pray it becomes full time real soon. I am working on diamond paintings and cross stitch. I squirrel so thats probably why I have more than one diamond painting going and more than one cross stitch. Mostly HAEDs. LOL 💮

[@GailMcCormick]

I didn't feel misled by you! I guess the uber-safe option is to refer to everything as an "upcoming release" without a date! The end of your April Fools video was my favorite. Especially the comments about the landscapes! 🌻

[@mscarrie10]

🌻 I enjoyed your whipinchat very much. I'm new to diamond painting and I'm now addicted.

[@Island_Jenn826]

The billboard thing totally sounds like Missouri 😂😂😂 I moved away from there in 2013 and that’s so what it is!!

[@annboggs5035]

Happy Spring! 🌸🌷🥀🌺🌻

[@sheryllemper4988]

🌸 So ready for the warmth and the sun! Here in SoCal it’s been cold and rainy. 🌧️ ☔️ Though it’s been fun dancing in rain ❤

[@amydburwell]

I don't typically watch the screen :) Do what's comfortable for you! Happy Spring 🌺

[@em_tay2006]

You should definitely do the actual March month in review. I would really love to see all of the ones that you have finished. 💐🌸💮🌷🌼🌻🌺🥀🌹🏵 found all of these on my computer.

[@vikilala2042]

🌸 I loved the April Fools Video it made me laugh. I enjoy watching all your videos.

[@teresa62ish]

I think the angle is good to watch you place drills. 🎉

[@Tammy_1977]

Hey Katie! I’m happy your boys are thriving and you get a second car soon! 🌸

[@kristinh2468]

I really enjoyed your April's Fool video on Saturday. And it was fun to watch you working on your diamond painting and updating us. Have a great week!! 🌺

[@dianeurbina711]

I watch and listen - a real lurker. 🌺

[@CraftingwithShay]

It was good to catch up with u! Glad your feeling better 🌸

[@bethannewhite1563]

I’m recovering from being in the hospital from falling and suffering a brain bleed, concussion and broken wrist. Luckily it’s not my DP hand. 🌸🌸🌸 great wip n chat!

[@SheriTracey61]

💐🌷🌻🌹🌸 Angle looks great!

[@kimharmon7984]

Doing pretty well this week! 🌹🌸💐

[@amandaandnate574]

The April's fools video was hilarious!

[@laurenwhitney2215]

🌸 I’m here in SoCal too and we are totally looking forward to the sun and getting some long overdue vitamin D!!

[@jaclynresendez1104]

“Whatever interstate cuts through Diagon Alley…?” 😂 Am I the only one who heard that?? 🤣

[@caitlinjanelle9967]

🌷 I'm working on “Wishes” from DAC. I liked the angle of the camera! I'm not constantly watching the screen, but when I did look up, it was nice to see what you were working on!

[@taniarogers2325]

💮thanks for the WIP and chat!

[@kcthatsme]

💐love your angle of filming I could see great. TFS

[@lindsayohare3368]

Still recovering from my hospital visit, but I have finally caught up with the content that I missed! I hope you guys get to do some fun family things for Spring Break you guys all deserve it. 🌺🌹

[@HalboAngel07]

Hi katie! Thanks again for these lovely wipNchats ❤️ i hope you and your family is doing well. Im doing great, ive had a cold this week but is finally recovering. On Friday its my 16th birthday! Im really excited and i will be legal to practice drive with my parents, so scary but fun! I live in norway and the weather here is always on and off. We have had snow the past weeks but now rain is coming and clearing it away ❄️☔️ i loved your april fools 😂 I didn’t realise until i saw some kits i knew you had done before 🤣 im hoping for a true month in review, but i fully know how packed of a schedule u have and your life away from yt. 😁 i love and respect the way you are careful about not saying something that can be false or change 🫶 i said something that changed and turned out to be false in the dac fb group. Ppl got really angry at me which is understandable. I deleted the post and apologised so many times. But they weren’t forgiving. So now im also very careful about what i say 🥰 sending lots of love and good wishes to you and your family. And a happy Easter for those who celebrate 🐣

[@LadydragonMarie]

Love the new perspective 💖💎🌷

[@Diamond_painting_with_sparkles]

I know this is an old wip and chat, but I had to comment on this one. I live in Missouri and we are billboard central, lol, I believe you were on I-44 close to St Louis is crazy with those billboards. Don’t quote me on this, but I believe they just passed a law limiting the amount of them along the interstates and highways. I bout fell out of my chair laughing when you were talking about this, I so so needed the laugh.

[@BunnyXproductions]

OMG… I am brand new to diamond painting as well as your channel and I have been thinking about that April 1st video since I watched it. Something seemed off but I totally fell for it! I was like well she said her kids & husband helped etc. You got me! 🤭

[@MadebyaBEAutifulqueenBea]

I seen that this video popped up on my recommendations. So I guess KZbin is recommending me to continue my butterfly diamond painting with you. Lol 💙🐝💙

[@joycenovak3849]

I understand how you feel about the assessments I’m doing through them now

[@ginabeachy4897]

That angle is good for viewing although I don't typically watch much so do what works for you. 🌷🏵⚘️

[@graciestevens9881]

Loved listening to this while working on a DAC kit! 😊 🌸🌺

[@lucilleleblanc2224]

Hi it's so funny , I saw your video that you made with all the diamond painting you had done and I was laughing just now when you said it was a April fool joke , I had really believed it but taught to myself how did you have time to do all of them 😂 so you got me 🤣🤣🌸🌻🌼🇨🇦

[@janitarobbins2828]

My space is my kitchen table as well 🌺🌸

[@heathersyarnyadventures1041]

🌻🌷🥀🌹🌺 yes like being able to see u diamond paint and my week going ok cleaned all day yesterdayy by back hurts lol so sitting here working on my lilo and stitch diamond painting my kids go on spring break in 12 days so need gto plan somme things aswell and we are going to bbq and have a egg hunt at my moms foe easter so that will be fun

[@basketballgirl60]

I thought this angle worked pretty well 🌼🌺

[@tracydannhaeuser2652]

I also feel like I'm hanging out with a friend when I "whip out my WIP" and work along a fellow DA painter ❤🤗 I am excited about SWTM 🎉

[@pollytobin5233]

🥀🥀🌻🌻I am working on DAC J Wall, "LEO". I listen and work on WIP while listening to you. Happy Easter to you and your family!!

[@brandystiles7183]

Thanks for sharing! I'm just getting ready to start working on Hazel's World and April Fairy for two events. They are both great paintings! 🌸🌸

[@Goneskee2]

Loved all your pinkish/purpley accessories 🌸! I like to watch the screen during these but I also like to just listen and occasionally look up. Currently working on what lies beneath for the dakotathon

[@joycenovak3849]

I didn’t realize it was a nerodivergent thing. But yes I’m totally more productive that way

[@amberlangston9691]

I live in Missouri, Yes you are correct!!! It is still this way, there are a lot of churches… a ton more than anywhere I have been and I don’t know about adult stores seems like there are a lot but I don’t know for sure… I find it funny that’s what you said cause being that I’m born and raised in MO I don’t notice it, but now that you mention it it is sooo true!!!😂 😂 😂

[@anjaschuler4643]

Hallo Katie, I just watched your video and I love how you use the multiplacer. After this video I have to give at another try. I'm a Singleplacer😂 since 2017.

[@caitlinboycher8596]

I…would love an extended cut of your prank video…just throw all the footage of y’all together and call it an extra?

[@jenniferhanson9208]

🌷

[@fluffymuffi1]

You did a brilliant job of narrating that video!

[@quinellleftwich1781]

By the way, I love the angle

[@DragonwingDiamonds]

We deal with a similar situation with my oldest stepson and V-bucks in Fortnite. We keep trying to tell him eventually he will stop playing Fortnite and all that money he puts into it will be wasted. Unfortunately he doesn't listen so well and his mother encourages his bad spending. My youngest stepson however has saved his money up and could easily buy a big Lego set if he wanted. I think it's important to teach them these lessons early on. Also I'm pretty sure most of us parents are making it up as we go lol. My daughter's birthday is coming up this week too! She will be 1 on Thursday!

🌸🌷 I always enjoy your WIP and chats, thanks for sharing! I am very interested to get your thoughts on that June Blooms Kit since it is on my wishlist but I am afraid to pull the trigger because of all of the negative things I hear about that company

[@joycenovak3849]

So the southern route is faster because Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona have a higher speed limits. It depends on if you were on 70 or 44. Sorry typing as you talk. So 44 and yes it’s still a thing. Missouri is a really bibleish state and so they have so many church billboards. I’m a truck driver so I find it hilarious

[@rosered_crafts]

🌸 Today, I listened along while playing Genshin Impact. I watched your month in review yesterday, but it didn't occur to me that it was a prank, I just thought u were in the zone & knocking out snack kits. I was multitasking & wasn't watching the screen the whole time but some "clues" I caught, but still didn't question, were, When u said u were knocking out one kit a day, Didn't u already complete Totoro & Landscapes are your thing? 😂

[@shari4638]

When I watch your videos I always wonder what the canvas looks like. Any chance you could show a thumbnail of it is at the start of the video? Thanks

Oh my goodness….. I’m on a waiting list for diagnosis of asd and/or adhd/add. I’m 55years old and I don’t talk about it much as I have had people saying why now? And there’s no point in getting a diagnosis now or no you haven’t got it. I find this very hurtful. My now adult son has asd and inattentive adhd. But hey… I hope you get your answers soon. 😊

[@cindy4u2]

Hi Katie! I just ordered the "Forever Sticky" pen tips from Jaded Gen Shop. Wondering if you would get some and review them on your channel. TIA!

[@elisabethpedersen4269]

Heia 🤗 I don't usually watsh the screen, so do what is most comfortable for you 😊 Easter is now started, so I am on auntie duty😂😂 Today we went skiing and sleding without adults (I don't count😂), and then we had lunch before we went back to Grandma's house, and the kids were extatic 😃 I hope your Easter will be as (hopefully) fun as mine😀 Happy Easter to all🐣🐤🐥 💐 Best wishes from Norway 🤗🤗🤗

[@creativelycynara]

😂 If anyone could finish 31 kits it's you! 😂 not that anyone should stay up for 31 days straight to DP. Hilarious video though. Loved seeing your more playful side.

[@tankersgal]

I hope they skipped St. Louis, the severe weather was awful this week. The billboards are spot on, the adult stores and nudie clubs put up billboards and the religious ones go up to counteract the "sin" billboards. It's Interstate 44 that goes southwest through Missouri, the small town I live in straddles 44

[@Shopwelle]

Hi Katie! What is the size of your painting?

[@jodywade8651]

[@bari614]

How do you cut so straight? I have to put the cutter against a straight edge. I can't free hand cutting along the washi.

I like watching your videos this video I didn't like the angle. I like the angle that you used to do. But I love your videos. Keep up doing what you do with the videos, I like the kitten that you have. I have a 16 year old tabby cat. Love your videos so much.

Good morning Katie, I fell for the April's Fool prank, I would.. I want to participate in Summer of the Masters. I will be working on an 25cm x 20cm Stary, Stary Night. The canvas is from UmiUmi. Regarding you being Autistic or ADHD. What gives you such an idea? I always felt there was something bad wrong with me. I didn't really do well in school, except for history, science, and Geology. Plus Astronomy. My personality seemed to flip back and forth. I was diagnosed with severe ADHD along with Clinical Depression and OCPD. I take 60mg of Strattera and 10 mg of Buspirone. Plus, Trazodone 200mg in order to sleep. Doesn't work all the time. Glad to hear your sons and husband are doing well. Suppose to rain on Wednesday. Well, let it rain I will be in Vegas. Please let me know the rules for Summer with the Masters. Thank you Have a wonderful Monday.

[@spinz1652]

I get confused about buying the blanks vs the pens. How do I get a pen from the company you got your pen from. I see the blanks but not pens. Sorry if this is a stupid question

[@stephanirozier7802]

The working with someone with you totally makes sense! I had to take last week off unexpectedly so I knew I was going in to A LOT this morning. Knowing I had your WIP & Chat to work with me really helped reduce the stress. 🌺🪷🌸

[@joycenovak3849]

🪷🪷🪷🪷 it was fine for me. I’m working all week with hopes of time to work on my Lovell and my Dakota for events. Mostly listed while getting breakfast though.
