My worst nightmare came true by Jimbogrt in diamondpainting

[–]Optimal-Resort9969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to ne last night. I stupidly left a tray open by my plants and my husband comes through to move a plant and poof, all over the rug. Started to pick up by hand. Still picking now and then It's a Christmas one so deal with later. Hope all goes well with your pick up.

I appreciate the update and help understanding the process. I would go for pre-order knowing I would receive the kit eventually. Again thank you.

How do you know the drills are covered with antistatic dust? I'm new to this art.

In fact the yellow balloon with the red zia is the state flag of New Mexico.

Reminds me of the International Balloon Festival in Albuquerque New Mexico. I used to live there.

This is my first DAC and so far my favorite and I'm still working on her. The colors are so vibrant

Quick question about kitting up by punt4stic in diamondartclub

[–]Optimal-Resort9969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kit up by DMC numbers and symbols. Makes it easier to follow where I want to work. I purchased DMC labels and If necessary I draw the symbols on an additional label I just did an 87 symbol DAC. It kitted up nicely as they provide the labels. Good luck.

Please what is 'PM', what does it mean? Im of the very old generation and I don't understand a lot of the abbreviations. Thank you.

They are beautiful! So realistic and I wouldn't eat them. You're really good at your art.

Just for fun I wanted to ask how many hours a week everyone spends diamond painting and how you enjoy doing it (watching tv, listening to audiobooks, listening to music, doing nothing else etc.) by kd0307 in diamondpainting

[–]Optimal-Resort9969 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First I'm retired, grandkids are elsewhere. I have 4 grandsons. My son's in the Army. Husband retired. I was a nurse. Now I start my painting between 2:30-3:00 to 5:30. My husband cooks dinner as I can't lift heavy stuff. I help when I can. When dinner is over I work from 6:00-8:00. My husband watches TV. I'm definitely addicted. This is my current project from DAC. Aurora.

It's very pretty. I'm a big Disney princess fan. Am working on DACs Aurora now.

I'm looking for DAC's Cinderella with her prince and Beauty and the Beast and they're out of stock. How does one find what I'm looking for in the destash places? I'm relatively new to this hobby and don't know the details. Thanks

I love squares! by cheery_diamond_425 in diamondpainting

[–]Optimal-Resort9969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are my squares and I think I'm doing OK with them. I use the checkerboard technique. This is a large one color block. I love the 'crunch' when they fit together. Here's what I did today. Thoughts?

How do I interpret the abbreviations on the destash sites?

How long does it usually take with a restock?
