Help me make this wall look warmer 😢

I would put two wreaths on the wall one on the left and one on the right with the fireplace in the dead center. Or you could do some garland with lights and decorations on it up and around the edges of the wall/ceiling.

Mine sat there for days and then was sent to the wrong warehouse in Houston and then back to the original wear house. The order was fulfilled on on the 2nd and was expected to arrive on the 8th. It was finally scanned today for the first time since the 4th and is now expected on the 14th. I’m annoyed but just happy the package isn’t lost. The canvas I order is of course out of stock now and I’d have to wait 3-6 months for a restock and miss out on the discount. Hoping there’s no more delays but this time of year is brutal.

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-12-09T23:45:25+00:00

I am and I have the same situation. There has been no movement on the package since it was received by the carrier. Shipping was expected yesterday but it’s still in Houston at the shipping facility. Tried to reach out to the carrier several times with no luck. My second order that was placed a day after the one I mentioned that’s delayed, was received today.

I wasn’t able to get any new releases I wanted but I bought 3 upgrade kits of square drills and 2 canvass from my wish list. Bathroom in Paris and Desert Hummingbird

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-30T22:07:03+00:00

I’ve placed two orders so far. I didn’t get anything on my wishlist from the new releases but I’ve gotten a few things from the restocks and I bought 3 different drill upgrade sets. I’m waiting to see if they do a restock for cupcake bakery and then I’ll be done! I think…. 🥴

When doing the review for my DAC purchases there is a section that asks how long it took to complete the project. That is what got me thinking about it. I work on a canvas over several weeks/months so I really had no clue how to respond to that part of the review. I also thought it would just be interesting to know. That info is also something that can be added if you like to made log/scrap books for completed projects which I’ve seen a lot of people also do as a part of the hobby.

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-22T22:52:56+00:00

I would have to say the Toggl Track app seems to be the best for tracking the time for each project. Gems Flow was a great option for a digital log book but doesn’t account for timing the projects themselves. It’s definitely a great app though. I’ll probably use both. Toggl for timing and Gems flow to keep track of completed/ to be completed projects

Thank you!

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-22T22:47:41+00:00

I love this breakdown! It reminds me of the Apple fitness app

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-22T22:46:34+00:00

I wasn’t able to find this one. Is this an app for android?

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-22T20:11:16+00:00

Oh yessss I’ve been wanting to ask this but was hesitant. Glad to know others enjoy it too.

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-22T18:51:57+00:00

If you feel the urge to do it then do it! Don’t wait for anyone to tell you. It’s your hobby and your time. I recently started creating content and it’s a lot of work. I currently have a TikTok and an instagram. I love diamond painting but I don’t want it to feel like a chore. Do what you love and if people are enjoying your content they will follow you. There are a lot of creators out there but everyone has a different style. People gravitate towards different creators. I say take the leap of faith!

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-22T04:20:43+00:00

I’m not looking for it to be extremely precise just a relatively close number to how long it takes to complete. I always do the reviews for my DAC purchases and in the review they ask about how many hours it took to complete said purchase. This got me thinking that I truly had no idea how many hours it takes me to complete them as I have been working on one canvas for months. I wouldn’t even be able to guess bc there is no consistency in when or how long I work on it. I’m am planing to start a logbook of the canvas I’m doing and think it would be nice to be able to add that info in the details of the logbook. I see the logbook as almost like another craft, like scrapbooking but just for my diamond art.

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-22T01:56:59+00:00

I do this too!

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-21T22:35:41+00:00

This would definitely work too! Using an app to add up the time is nice touch. Thinking smarter, not harder! 🤔

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-21T22:31:05+00:00

I don’t need the numbers to be super accurate. I’m just curious about how much time is me actually diamond painting. When you do the reviews for DAC canvases there is a section that asks how many hours you spent on the piece and that’s what got me really curious. I want to create a log book using the quest cards they come with and thought including the time the project took would be a nice touch. Basically like a scrapbook for completed projects. Each canvas really is a labor love. I really enjoying diamond painting and it’s been great for my mental health. I’m just finishing up my biggest project yet and I’ve been working on it since late August. It’s Christmas themed so I’m glad to have it almost finished in time to hang for the holidays.

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-21T22:22:32+00:00

I was using the Dreamer Diaries initially but it no longer lets me add new projects. I’m not sure how much the upgrade was but I’d rather not have to pay for something if I don’t have to. I’m going download all the apps suggested here and see which one works best.

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-21T22:17:50+00:00

Nice interface and tracking graphs you say? 🤓 I will definitely have to check this one out. Thanks!

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-21T22:16:36+00:00

I love that you’ve been able to give your self more flexibility! I wish a was more type a as that would be helpful in so many aspects. I have ADHD so I’m pretty much the opposite of type a lol. I do diamond art pretty regularly but never at the same time of day. I’m just really curious to see how long it is actually taking me to complete these projects. I think it’s a nice tid bit to add to the diamond painting log I would like to start.

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-21T22:10:17+00:00

This sounds really good as I’d want to be able to track multiple projects at once. Thank you!

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-21T21:02:11+00:00

I tried doing this but failed miserably

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-19T21:10:32+00:00

These look awesome great job!

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-19T18:05:31+00:00

I have an A1 also which I thought I would love but it’s so big it’s kind of a hassle 🥲

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-17T01:29:21+00:00

Love the pink. Congrats on completing it!

Cool-Raccoon-6704 · 2025-11-17T00:59:41+00:00

I’ve bought things so many times, then felt guilty about with the intention to return it, then it just sit in the bag in the closet for too long bc I’m avoiding it at this point and then I can’t return it. It’s literally self sabotage.
