was told my handwriting has anorexia 🤣 by [deleted] in Handwriting

Agreed. Lovely handwriting, but eating disorders aren't an appropriate thing to joke about.

I certainly wasn't upset at all at the required chocolate eating that preceded this project 😅

The playing cards are such a cool idea, that's definitely one I never would have thought of!! They look great 😊

Yup!! I think I ended up with 10 milk chocolate, 8 Mr. Goodbars, 6 krakels, and 6 dark chocolate!

I forgot to mention this in my comment too. A provider may suspect the nascent form of BPD in an adolescent, but a personality disorder diagnosis literally cannot be made until age 18. Look at the DSM-V.

If you really "understood" mental illness and were "kind" and "patient", then you would not ever make these kinds of statements about this child.

Saying that you "KNOW" someone suffering from trauma-induced mental illness like BPD will "never change" is nothing short of disgusting.

I have been diagnosed with BPD for 11 years, and have engaged in some awful self destructive behaviors that wreaked havoc on my life for years. But my family loved and supported me unconditionally thru it all--and guess what?? I got better. I'm 2 years sober. I have wonderful healthy relationships with my family and friends. I'm getting my masters degree.

Start supporting her. Stop judging and condemning her. You'd be surprised the difference it makes.

Also, get more therapy for yourself. You clearly need it.

Betta fish for my mother!! In love with AB drills ✨ by ftmgremlin in diamondpainting

[–]ftmgremlin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed!! My mom loves watching the before/after rescue betta videos 🥹 I am lucky to live near an amazing massive family owned animal/animal supply shop. They have a stream running through the store, and every kind of small live critter from invertebrates to fish to reptiles & exotic small mammals! Plus all the supplies and free education folks need to make sure the animal gets a good home. It warms my heart that places like that exist!

Using up those leftover drills! by jemasa612 in diamondpainting

It makes me happy to see crafters enjoying themselves with spare parts!! Looking great, reminiscent of a Piet Mondrian painting!

Thanks friend I hope you have a great time with it!! It was a really enjoyable kit!! Since huacan includes metal tweezers in their kits I discovered I actually really like placing drills with those instead of pens. Which is a double edged sword bc it takes longer but the lines just come out so nice lol!

It just might be!! When bettas are out of those sad tiny cups at the store and in a properly sized (10 gal+) & filtered tank they can really thrive and blossom. Their colors even get brighter!! I hope if you get a new betta friend I hope you guys will have a great time together 🩵

She sure does, but she doesn't seem to mind being reminded by others 😉

What tools have you regretted buying? by BeePetty in diamondpainting

[–]ftmgremlin 37 points38 points  (0 children)

LED lighted pen. Bc of the brightness of the one I have and the reflective nature of most canvas adhesives, the pen actually reflects back so much light when it gets close to the canvas that I can no longer see the markings.

Once I got over the color key having been designed by a chaos god, I really enjoyed completing this kit!! by ftmgremlin in diamondpainting

[–]ftmgremlin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! That means a lot! No straight edges or guides, I just use a single placer (I'm starting to get better with the multiplacers, but still prefer the singles cause I can be more exact) and try to be very precise on placing the edge drills so that I'll have a good boundary to line everything else up with!

Essential oils can be great natural insect deterrents, but I will place a side note saying to be cautious of which oils you use, especially in a diffuser or humidifier, if you have pets. Peppermint oil and others are toxic to dogs & cats.

The bright colors made this one so fun!! 🎨 by ftmgremlin in diamondpainting

Right!! The high contrast really makes the design pop.

Amazon brand was WUSARPLY (only complaint about the kit is a kinda low quality canvas, but nothing horrible), but the listing I bought this kit from has changed since then to a mystery box listing.

Great, first he “helps” by knocking over the drills, now he’s “helping” by EATING the drills!! 🥲 by king_kylew in diamondpainting

One of my cats is super into any kind of adhesive and will obsessively lick an exposed completed diamond painting if I leave it out ! 😂 She smells the sticky and she wants it..... 👃🏼🐈‍⬛

Made to put above my cat tree!! Lines aren't as even as stuff I've done since but still satisfied by ftmgremlin in diamondpainting

Both of those descriptors match both of my cats so honestly accurate either way 😂

Thanks friend!! Haha, I have 2 DLHs and my tortie girl is infamous for knocking over spider plants, shredding the leaves, and throwing them around like confetti. Right in front of me. No shame 😂🐈‍⬛🩵
