Hello all! I'm watching this Waffle (day 9) as an anxious dog mama while my pitbull is having his first chemo treatment. He had his second Bladder cancer surgery 2 months ago and we are hoping this chemo keeps it from coming back a 3rd time. I love how your paintings are turning out! They are beautiful! I'm loving my advent calendar! I appreciate the quick response to my email about my pen being broken! I look forward to the replacement and using it! Happy December Zesties!
Hey Rebecca and Zesties. So for “me time” consists of me working from home AND diamond painting! My job isn’t usually busy, so I can work on a canvas while I wait for work 🥰 it’s really great! Hope you’re not getting sick again! Take care of you! Enjoy the day!

Hope you’re not getting sick again! Take care of you! Enjoy the day! Also, a bit on quilting, I’ve always wanted to learn to quilt. Back when my kids were smaller, I stitched a “quilt” together but wasn’t an actual one. I do have squares that were given to me and once my craft room is sorted, I’ll get my machine out and try it out. Maybe look for tutorials lol
Hi Rebecca and all you lovely zesties! I hope everyone is having a great time with the waffles. I sure am. Still working on Christmas cards. Yesterday I kitted up Steampunk Catdaddy by DAC. I plan to start that when I finish the cards. 🧡🧡🧡🐢🐢🐢
I love watching you diamond painting and talking... but I end up falling asleep!! Your voice is so relaxing, I always end up watching the whole video, though. 😂 ❤❤❤
My son finally gave hubby and I some ideas for Christmas gifts for him. We went shopping today and found a couple of the items. We also picked him up a gift card for a restaurant…and we enjoyed lunch at the restaurant today too. Double the pleasure. When we went to grocery store after lunch, we found some things to stuff in son’s stocking (yes, son is 38 but still my baby so a stocking he gets 😂). So all around a day that was very productive and now I am feeling better about Christmas. 🎄🎄 I only opened my advent gift today and watched this video. Will do double duty of diamond painting tomorrow to catch up.
I was able to find the PC stich program you mentioned. so thank you for a good place to start. I completely understand not wanting to tackle that kind of video. It seems very daunting to me so I don't blame you at all. Thanks for another great day of waffling. Hugs all around.
Hello Rebecca, I too am a quilter . One day I will be able to complete my queen size quilt . And crochet. Crocheting is harder because of my hands cramp up alot .
I am using day nine and day ten as catch up time. The last two days have been crazy. Late on the 8th, Mom slammed her toe into a heavy, antique piece of furniture and broke a toe. Yesterday we went to urgent care and essentially were told: "We can't fix it, go to a podiatrist. Here's some pain meds to help." So we went today and our guess was right: not only did she break her toe, but she also dislocated it. They reduced it (the process of putting the toe joint back into place) and gave her a special shoe to walk on. In two weeks we need to go back to see if it's healing well - if it isn't, it'll need surgery. Keep sending those good vibes. In other news, I am on the LAST section of the DAS advent calendar from last year. I got spoiled on day 25, so I'm doing day 24 last. I'm so excited this is done! I need to get a frame and hang it up during the Christmas time from now on. After I'm done with this, and kitting down, I will kit up "A Savior is Born" by Dona Gelsinger due to the theme of the painting fitting where I am in my life journey right now.
Hi all Well pjelly did make and decorate her gingerbread village.. With various nuts, peanut butter and dried mealworm.. No it wasn't for human consumption 😂 She put it out in the garden for the wildlife, she's always out the feeding everything 😊 It took ages before the squirrels would actually go and grab a nut or two. The crows and Magpies were even more suspicious 😂🥰💚
Hi Rebecca and Zesties, we have freezing rain today, so I am not venturing out at all. Too many broken bones and ribs, so no Christmas shopping today ⛄️🌨️☃️❄️
Hi Rebecca and Zestys! No diamond painting for me today. I’ve had a plasterer in to fix damp issues around my 2 external doors. He’s got to come back after the new plaster has dried out to put new skirting boards on. I’ve been cracking on with getting the presents wrapped and hopefully will get most if not all done tonight. My sister does tea for us on Mondays and my brother in law delivers it, and thank goodness it’s a Monday as my kitchen is not fit to cook in at the moment! Love the tweezers in today’s advent, mine were yellow. Were they all the same colour? See you tomorrow.
In regards to the comment where a zesty tries to beat your time….😂 I too do that, but add in the extra calendar painting too. It takes all the ads, and the intro, but today we ended at the same time. To be fair, I think you did one extra row than I did on the mystery, but I was too anxious to start the make sure I lined up with you. It’s a fun game. lol. And makes me feel like such a champion if I can at least tie you. I also call it a win as long as I finish before you sign off. Happy day 9! Loving every bit of this year’s event!! PS: do you not have sugar cookies across the pond? They are a Christmas staple here in my area of the U.S.
Good evening Rebecca and zesties. Can you believe it’s the 9th already. I have decided that 2025 will be a no buy year. Hopefully I’ll be strong enough to resist but time will tell. Can I ask what you do with all your completed diamond paintings please?
Is that also the software you are using to convert the diamond art studio charts? My mum does a lot of quilting so I have many a hand made quilt in my home. I tried it but I’ve forgotten more than I ever learnt on a sewing machine so I get too frustrated. I also agree that unpicking stitches in cross stitch is more annoying than taking off diamonds. Loving all the designs of the advent paintings. Feel free not to answer this question if you think it is a spoiler. I’m still debating on woodland winterland as I read the description about it being blue. So far, Is it more the background that is blue and do you think it is over 1/2 the painting?
HELLO 👋, I have fallen behind on videos but caught up on the HAED videos today. I’m working on a HAED to, it’s a readers path by Jeramiah Morelli I got the chart from DIY moon shop before they closed down. Life has been a bit busier then what I would like, unfortunately going through some medical things which have needed my attention and 2 different surgeries are potentially on the table for 2025 one for my hands unfortunately because due to the issues my hands get sore and swollen so I haven’t been able to do much diamond painting unfortunately but I have done a couple of sections on my HAED today which was really nice, when you haven’t done it for a while you really do realise how much you miss it, I really value the time I do get to do my favourite hobby. I can’t believe we are in the festive season, gee this makes excited but also bitter sweet because it only feels like yesterday we were doing last years December WIP and waffle I’m happy to say I was pretty prepared this year lol 😂 all my wrapping is almost done :) with 3 children youngest 11 it feels so good 😊 I’m usually a last minute Christmas shopper but this year I started in October. Sorry about the long comment, and probably a bit to much of an update but boy have I missed theses conversations. PLEASE ALL BE SAFE HAVE LOTS OF FOOD AND PRESSIES take care all
Loving every single second of these videos. 😁
