Hi Fi, good to hear that you're happy with Smiths Beads - I must say that everything so far looks really good. Can't wait to actually place some drills.....first I've got some other projects to finish though LOL...
Hi Lisette, glad you like the drills at this early stage. I’m looking forward to seeing what you think of them when you start drilling. Very happy with mine....hoping you feel the same about yours. Oh, the nerves that come after someone spends money based on a recommendation you gave them 😂
I purchased the canvas for Soaring Free 2 by Joan Marie from HAED/Crown Jewel (my favorite butterfly image ever!) . I'm accumulating my leftover drills for it, so I'm not sure when I'll be starting. I think have a couple DPs I can do in the meantime 😃
Hi Lisette! Did you try out the drills on your canvas yet? I just am trying out my first HAED canvases, kitting up is quite a challenge for me with all the colors. My drills came in strips like yours, they are OK. I really got spoiled by the quality of DAC and Dreamer drills, the ones I bought in AliExpress just aren’t quite as nice! But so far it’s coming out fine.
Thanks for the video 😃 I have my eye on one of the canvases and I’m keeping track of my left over drills trying to save them up for that one, the process or ordering seems like so much work 😬. I’m excited to see your unboxing 😊
Oh wow! Thank you so much for doing this video! I have my eye on a certain little red fox that HAED offers, but I’ve been intimidated by needing to buy drills! 😩
You're very welcome. It really isn't such a big deal as you might think - I totally get it though. It is a bit more work than buying everything as a complete kit, but Smiths Beads was really helpful and made things really easy.
@@LisetteCraftsandTells that’s wonderful and such a relief to hear! I think I will probably go for that little fox I’ve got my heart set on! 🦊 💞 Thank you!
Ja dat vind ik dus ook. Als je alles bij elkaar optelt dan zijn dit wel vrij prijzige diamond paintings hoor, maar ja - je hebt dan wel iets vrij unieks wat je bijna nergens ziet (ik heb de drie paintings die ik heb in ieder geval nog nergens op youtube/facebook/insta voorbij zien komen).
Ooohh ik wil ook head proberen maar wil eerst wat van mijn dp’s afmaken😅. Heb je dp deutschland overwogen voor je steentjes? Ik heb mijn Josephine Wall bijna af en vond ze wel redelijk, ben erg benieuwd naar je review van smith beads! Weet jij toevallig een goed bedrijf voor een blank canvas poured glue? Bedankt voor je video’s, leuke projecten heb je😊
Hi Laura, ik zou graag diamond dotz drills willen gebruiken voor mijn DP, maar dan wordt het een erg dure grap vrees ik (en bovendien moet ik dan een conversion chart op de kop tikken voor alle DMC nummers). Volgens mij heeft Smith beads tegenwoordig ook blank poured glue (geen idee wat de kwaliteit is - heb het nog nergens gezien in een unboxing o.i.d.). Dus dat zou je kunnen proberen.
@@LisetteCraftsandTells haha ja goedkoop is het niet. Ik heb ergens op fb van mrs crochet een conversion chart gezien, laat maar weten als je wilt dat ik hem aan je stuur. Bedankt voor je tip!
Hi Lindsay - yes I heard good things about Hankins as well - that's why I wanted to try them. I've emailed and messaged them multiple times, but they didn't respond. That didn't give me a good vibe and therefor I looked to other suppliers.
Hi, thank you for the information. Very interesting.
My pleasure Coral 😊
Hi Lisette! I’m glad this video popped up! I thought you started ordering now!🤭🤭
Ha ha - no, that was a long time ago. Thanks for watching this one 🥰

Hi Mike, thanks for your input. I'll be sure to tell them when I start working with the drills.
This is funny Lisette..was just looking at HAED site and wondering about where to order drills..perfect timing😂👍😍😁 Thank you!
Perfect timing indeed. Hope my info is helpful for you!
I love Smith beads I always use them. I have had issues in past with rowe diamonds or bad communication. But never had any issues with Smith beads.

Hi Anthea - things are looking good so far. Thanks for the recommendation. 💝

Oh that's so cool Sandra - It might take me a while also to get all the leftover drills for the mermaid one...no hurry, we'll get there LOL

Hi Stephanie - not yet. I'm eager to start, but first I need to finish my current WIPS (220 color Josephine Wall + WOman in Gold).
I hope it works❣️
Me too Asja - only one way to find out.
@@LisetteCraftsandTells Yes, do it💪😁
Thanks for the video 😃 I have my eye on one of the canvases and I’m keeping track of my left over drills trying to save them up for that one, the process or ordering seems like so much work 😬. I’m excited to see your unboxing 😊
Hi Lindsay - yes, I started out by looking for one for my left over drills, but ended up ordering three LOL....
@@LisetteCraftsandTells haha that sounds just like something I would do 😂 probably will do too!

De prijs valt echt nog wel mee voor zoveel drills!! Ik hoop echt dat ze van goede kwaliteit zijn als je ze gaat gebruiken!

Hello can I call you Lisa? And also pretty canvas I think when you start it then finished will look great 😊
Yes you can Victoria!
Hi Lisette. I ordered mini Serenity . I need to order the drills but do I choose round or square drills? Thank you.
Hi Sylvia - a HAED Crown Jewel or HAED conversion(blank canvas) is always square drills.
Smiths comes very highly recommended from all my European friends. I'm really surprised to hear about Hankins, people rave about them.
Hi Lindsay - yes I heard good things about Hankins as well - that's why I wanted to try them. I've emailed and messaged them multiple times, but they didn't respond. That didn't give me a good vibe and therefor I looked to other suppliers.
