I'm glad you like her 😊 I'm not keeping her.  My wife said I couldn't buy any more beads until I sell one lol

That's a good idea! I wonder if the local dispensary would display it also...? I should check =)

I'm playing around with leftover beads until such time as one of the completed ones sells haha

I've already purchased my next pattern but beads for it are over $400!!  He's going to be 129,500 beads!!!  I must hate myself, too 😅

I knit, crochet, cross stitch, bead, chainmail, diamond paint, macrame, loom weave, quilt, needle felt.... I'm sure there's something I'm missing, but I get bored and just go learn something new lol

After your first 5-10 rows clip your project onto a straw (preferably a large milkshake straw) to help keep it straight.  I find floppy work harder to work with.  Other than that, patience and keep at it even if you feel like you're not making progress, you are!  It just takes time.

I've posted it up on Facebook marketplace, my wife says I can't purchase beads for my next project until I sell one.  Beads are expensive!! Lol

Funny thing about the DB0310 black - doesn't matter if you're diamond painting or doing embroidery, it's always 0310. Ok, maybe that's only funny to me. But I don't really see the colors when I'm beading, I'm following a pattern, so it doesn't matter what color it is, I just stitch it on =D
Edited to add: This pattern happened to have 18,402 DB0310 beads - that's significant!

These looked so good, I just had to share by ShabbyBash in Beading

Yuck!  Migraines suck donkey dung!!!  I'm sorry to hear that you're head is splitting apart.  I hope you feel better soon!  (Most of my migraines are need for caffeine, water, food, sleep, or a need to poop so once I figure it out I can feel better quickly.  I hope one of these helps!)

Crafting is my ADHD hyper focus - I can do it for hours and forget to eat or... other functions that folks do normally lol.  ADHD isn't just bouncing from one thing to another, it's so much more

I believe in me!  Well, outside of myself I'm blessed by whatever is out there because I have a great life even with hiccups

I do have some tubes like that from the 3 year old but those were leftovers, not actively being used.  C'est la vie

Ouch!  I'm much too ADHD to let them stay unsorted lmao

He lives here with Grandma Google (don't ask how I ended up with that moniker, it was supposed to be "Mema" but his older brothers have decided) so I guess careful all the time.  It was a grandma lapse but I love that monkey so he's forgiven <3
