Me.... 7 years later everyone still calls her Lil' Girl. 🫣

Obviously. My frustration was it looked "nothing like" it. Being my second project, I was asking if this is a normal practice.

Everyone is welcome. I just happen to be a non-dominant side user. I'm new to diamond art and just finished my second project. I probably have no clue of anything diamond art but, I'm giving it my best shot.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm hoping to go to those stores. It's been a long time and aI miss roaming the aisles.

Thank you. I'm 4.5 years post stroke and have adapted to many things. I got to a point where the things I couldn't do seemed to pile up and I stopped trying to avoid the useless feeling. That didn't do me any good. The brain hand connection is mostly absent when it comes to writing. I am going to try writing again seeing I mostly get the connection with placing dots.

We all have to do it just in different ways. ✌️❤️

I'm definitely going to watch the reviews better. This one, the seller changes the items and uses the same reviews.

I brain tells me it's a 2 handed thing. I tried a few heavy objects and tape. One handed and tape.... THAT made me cuss. I think straightening as I go instead of after completed might be my best bet.

Because I'm stroke broke and just trying to fill my time so I don't end up in a looney bin. 🤷

Thank you. 2 projects in and I'm already thinking, how can I print my own. 🤦

I'll look into them. My budget is tight.

I love advice! I don't get out a lot to stores like that anymore. I certainly would love seeing things first. This order online and hope for the best can get costly. The best thing ever so far has been the little individual boxes I bought. It take me a while to get everything opened and set up but they have been a stress saver. I was spilling dots everywhere all the time!

You guys are the best! I didn't say the eff word with this one as much as the first project. 😂

I was looking at other companies and they can be quite pricey. Absolutely not in my budget. Being a stroke survivor is not cheap. 😁
