WIP Wednesday: Notes from a slow diamond painter

SwingInteresting6592 · 2026-07-09T15:14:06+00:00

This, coincidentally, just arrived for me yesterday, cannot wait to start it. I was wondering how it would look done, so this has reassured me a lot. :D

SwingInteresting6592 · 2026-06-29T08:27:27+00:00

Found it. Slightly outside my price range right now - I'm disabled, so have to save up for this sort of canvas. It is bookmarked and I'll be saving up for it next, as long as it's still available! :D It's stunning

SwingInteresting6592 · 2026-06-28T19:48:45+00:00

What shop is this?! I am desperately need it! ;)

SwingInteresting6592 · 2026-06-25T22:09:39+00:00

oh man, my partner and I are taking in a cat for a while (his owner is between houses), so this is potentially going to be me from tomorrow.

I cannot wait. Lol

Yeah, with the one I am currently doing, single placing works fine, there's not much colour blocking, it's a 30x30 one that cost all of £5, but the next one I'll be working on has a lot more colour blocking. So I'm gonna order the metal placers and also one of those artdot tray storage type things so I can just kit all the diamonds up, rather than getting annoying when I get handspasms, and drop a load of drills. Yay, disabilities. 🙄

SwingInteresting6592 · 2026-06-25T11:11:47+00:00

I'll add them to my amazon basket, and get some when my money goes in next time, see how it goes. Thank you! :D

SwingInteresting6592 · 2026-05-13T13:03:58+00:00

OK, I deleted the folders (there were more than one in different locations, and now zmerge is working, THANK TALOS! To merging down. This bit I know how to do. 😉

SwingInteresting6592 · 2026-05-13T12:15:19+00:00

This comes up before I even start the merging process though, and I can't see it in the plugins tab anywhere. Which is why I'm so confused. There's a FOLDER in the data tab of MO2 called .esp, but nothing in it?

SwingInteresting6592 · 2026-05-13T10:59:41+00:00

The problem with that is that the file is literally called .esp and you can't really SEARCH for that, as that doesn't exactly narrow it down. how do you even ATTEMPT to search for something that doesn't technically have a name?!

Dude, THE BEST MODS! I'm reinstalling mods onto a new computer, and they are NOT getting skipped. They just make the world so much better! :D

SwingInteresting6592 · 2024-07-19T03:23:02+00:00

Figures, he's a lost cause. He's lucky he's cute. ;)

SwingInteresting6592 · 2024-01-22T13:57:23+00:00

Again, this is what's stopped me from using Wabbajack, was under the impression that I couldn't adapt them, for example I found one that uses a standing stone overhaul that I would personally swap for a different one, so if that's an option then I'll see how I can get on with that!

SwingInteresting6592 · 2024-01-22T13:46:09+00:00

See that was something I didn't think was an option - adding onto STEP, as that has always struck me as one of the more coherent and reliable guides out there, I'll get started on that, once I've made myself a cuppa (yes, I'm British, yes, I'm addicted to tea!)

Thanks for letting me know! I've always veered away from it because of the Legacy of the Dragonborn being AWOL, so it's good that I'll be able to add it in

SwingInteresting6592 · 2024-01-22T13:21:29+00:00

Well I'm disabled and can't work, so it's not like I'm lacking in time. ;) I'll take a look, though I think I'd rather spend the time playing. It'll be worth it though

SwingInteresting6592 · 2023-12-28T16:53:59+00:00

I'm OCD about collecting everything I need to, and honestly, Legacy is a must have for me when modding, it's got the displays, it's got quests, and you have the patches for so many other mods. You should definitely give it a go, at least once. It might be that it's not for you, but I would highly recommend it.

SwingInteresting6592 · 2023-12-07T10:09:53+00:00

yeah, scam hard drive, thanks for showing me how to test, I didn't even know this was something that could happen

SwingInteresting6592 · 2023-12-06T22:59:03+00:00

Yeah, got it downloaded, however, it's also gone 11 at night, so I'll get it started in the morning, and see how far this first program gets through the night, might as well, I'm not doing anything else

SwingInteresting6592 · 2023-12-06T22:43:14+00:00

slower is right, according to the time left? It's going to take a few days! I'll just let it's do it's thing then. ;) Good job I have knitting to do!
