    I am glad that you got your anemia diagnosed! It can cause such awful fatigue and hair loss, too. I’m glad you’re keeping an eye on it. Thank you for sharing about your sweet boys, it sounds like you are raising really great little humans. 🎄💚☘️

    Also for storage hear me out. Step 1 find a Spencer’s gifts that’s going out of business. Step 2 go in the forbidden section. Step 3 purchase the fixture that displays all the posters. Step 4 put all your finished diamond paintings in the display section. Step 5 put all of (or let’s be real just some of) your stash in the little sections at the bottom. Step 6 virtually high five me for the assist.

    Oh I once was reading a book series. the first couple wrapped up well enough individually, but one ended with the protagonist buried alive! Like we knew she was going to get out, but when you take several years to write a book, that is NOT ok! I am now a few books behind in that series since a different entry took a hard left turn. (I've been sick and doing puzzles from the couch while listening)

    Enjoying this as always!! I’ve been diamond painting for about 5 years, but I took a long break for a while, like probably over a year, at one point. I was working on a large (to me) DP and I guess I got burnt out. I finally picked it back up a few months ago and finished it recently and I’m back at it full force and just love putting your wip & chats on. I get too distracted with the tv on I think. Anyway, loving your videos!! 🫛🫒🍐🫑🥬🍏🥒🥦🥗🥑

    Any advice for doing a year in review with a bunch of kits? It sounds like we are going to be tied on finishes this year. I have 41 and 42 in the works currently. I'm just trying to think about how I'm going to manage that many moving parts in my video lol.
    I went back and listened to one of my older videos which happened to be an unboxing. All I could think about is how full of life I was when I started and now you can tell parenthood and school has been draining me. It made me laugh a little bit.
    I am thankful for your positivity every day! 🐉

    I feel you regarding fanfiction. Sometimes I enjoy waiting for the next chapter, but most of the times they dont update. Ive been keeping my eye on one that hasn't updated since 2019 😢. Alas that is just how it is. I am enjoying The Apothecary Diaries, both the Manga and the Anime, though apparently the Light Novel is leagues ahead of both which I havent touched, yet. Cant wait for the videos this coming weeks! 🐸🐸🐸

    I am working on an advent calendar from a German shop, but, as I am spoiled by DAC quality, I am quite displeased with this calendar! The glue is weak, the (square) drills are acrylic and the 310s are definetely bad!!
    And it wasn't cheap, about 80 euros for a 40x40 cm painting....
    I hope, you have a great week with your family, enjoy your painting!! Love from the Netherlands, Willeke 🦖(a little green dragon for you..)

    Count me as one of those game of thrones obsessed people frantic about the author dropping dead on us before the series finishes. The worst is when the authors are mad about the disappointed fans nagging them. Diana Gabaldon keeps us waiting forever too. Outlander is amazing but damn she takes forever between books! At least she shares excerpts on fb to keep us calm.🧤

    Hope that knowing you’re dealing with anemia that you can work on that and that it helps with your exhaustion. I have veins that don’t want want to cooperate as well. I think the highest number of sticks for one draw is 6. I just apologize ahead of time because when they look for a vein they will spot one but when they go in the vein plays hide and seek lol. I’ve just resorted to suggesting my hands because while not the funnest spot it usually goes quicker. I’m looking forward to seeing your Black Friday haul! 🪲

    🍏🥬🥒I’m in the same boat about reading book series that isn’t complete or at least the arc is incomplete (I’ve read book series that seem to keep on going. For example, my favorite series, Wings of Fire author, Tui has announced that there is going to be a 4th arc, but since each arc feels like a complete story, I’m fine with reading those books, regardless of how many arcs she writes)

  • @quinellleftwich1781
    @quinellleftwich1781 11 месяцев назад

    Hi Katie. Im working on Blue's Room by Talysketch and Munimade. I really love the color palette but I am noticing some gaping between the squares and Im having to do some straightening but its not a deal breaker. I just wish the drill field was a little tighter but I am absolutely loving the painting. Its so beautiful and relaxing with lots of color blocking.
    I know what you mean about the anemia. I have had severe anemia before where they had to give me iron infusions by IV. I had to get it done every 2 weeks at first and then every six weeks or so. I had this condition about a year. I was so tired that I could barely function and it was severe by the time it was caught. Oddly it never really showed with a finger stick. It wasnt discovered until a draw was done from my arm. I felt worlds better when it was fixed. I still have to be very careful and I still have to take an iron supplement. As a woman, I dont have the "issue" that was probably the culprit anymore because I had surgery but I still suffer with the anemia if I dont take the iron. Anyway, please stay on top of that because it could cause a lot of issues and you will feel really bad and worn out all the time. Great video.
    One more thing....I cant wait to see what you have to say about the micro dots in the DD kit. I wonder will it be like one over one stitching done in cross stitch when doing a face or skin. Looking forward to it next year! 💚💚💚

  • @nicolelylewis
    @nicolelylewis 11 месяцев назад

    okay, you talking about book series not being completed, I honestly couldn't relate because what book series I have, are years old and are done. But then you mentioned fanfiction and I had to pause and fume a little bit, lol! I have no idea how many times I've read a fanfiction and really liked the storyline, writing, etc., and then I get to the end and it's clearly not done before I realize their last update was years ago....so now I try to remember to check to see if it's completed and if it's not, I check to see when the last time they updated was.
    I've written a few stories myself and I have a list of planned ones that maybe someday I'll write, but when I do write them, I make sure they're completed written out before I post them...some people will post as they write and that's one reason why there's a long time between updates.

  • @eldfen21
    @eldfen21 11 месяцев назад

    I feel you 100% on the mixed feelings about ongoing series. I read like I watch Netflix: binge the entire series in a week. I have such a hard time getting invested in books that I need to know I can get the entire series at once or I won’t ever end up finishing it. I also feel so many series I’ve encountered lately don’t need to be series; they’re made into multiple books solely for the sake of more books, not to benefit the story. Sorry for the long comment; I have lots of feelings about books 😂

    Hello Katie, I see that you sometimes start a DP from the bottom. What do you do when you finish a row? Do you roll it up diamonds inside or outside? I see so many different ways and I don't know what's best. Thanks for all the advice you give, it's always really helpful to get better in this craft.

    I really hope iron supplements work to help boost you up and give more energy. I know there is a percentage of the population pills don’t work for and they need infusions at a certain point, so I hope that’s not the case for you. (Speaking from personal experience.)
    Also, there was an author whose books I first read over 25 years ago in middle/high school and I fell in love with her writing style, but her last published book was in 2010, and she also went through a lot of personal things that led to a long period of writer’s block. She has since moved onto Patreon and published small snippets but not the next full work. I don’t know how to feel about it, and have basically written off the idea of ever getting the next book in the series *while also* still enjoying rereading it from time to time. 😂 🍐🐉💚

    Okay, but Wheel of Time. The author literally died before the last book. His wife was his editor, however, and had excerpts and an outline of the book and recruited another fantasy author to finish the story, with the fully written scenes by the original author included.
    The new author split the planned final 13th book into 3, so they released 13, 14, and 15 by Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan.
    I also really and truly wish that Mercedes Lackey would write more books in the 500 Kingdoms series, though all the books inside it are actually standalone. But she’s said she doesn’t plan on writing any more. 😢

Why not jump in and try to capture some of that. Of course, I could create my own diamond painting cheaper than that, so I would rather do that then give it to Diamond Dotz. Hahahaha!!!
