How is it already Sunday, almost Monday? The weekends seem to affect me now as much as they did when I was working. Back then, the time that was my own was filled with all the things to get ready for the work week and take care of the house. Now it’s just a rhythm change. Chris and I watch sci-fi, fantasy, or disaster movies. Just kind of like our date time. Today we watched Daybreak on, um, I think it was Hulu. It was pretty good to be so old.
Before we found a good show to settle on, we were watching vet shows and Sunday Morning and UU, where they celebrated Mardi Gras.
I got a bit more of the Sea Turtle done. (Just the back leg and tail).

Time to do the recorder. Then scales on the keyboard. I do think all this floundering is making progress. But it is slow, for sure. By the way, I took a few moments while the computer wi-fi loaded that sea turtle picture, to practice chord changes and You Are My Sunshine on the uke.
Practice makes progress.













turtle is not tortoise
snap is the operative word
our sunday was hype
and crap too
nice post tho ty
The turtles will be beautiful when they’re finished! The gems will line up as you add more, but I get it. I’m constantly pushing them straight as I go too.
When you “kit up” what do you do? I just pick an easy to see letter or number and do all of that one color when I do mine. I also never tried doing it on an easel, I lay mine on a table.
I take each packet and put them into the little container and label it. https://www.amazon.com/SGHUO-Diamond-Painting-Plastic-Organizer/dp/B07V32K28Z/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=F7SA4588HH1O&keywords=diamond+painting+storage+containers&qid=1707888868&s=home-garden&sprefix=diamond+painting+storage+contai%2Cgarden%2C2057&sr=1-4
Ahh, yes I’ve done that when I was at home, but it’s a pain to me. I’d rather just tear open a packet as I go, since I usually only work one color at a time.
Others I know like to do it that way. I just get bored with one color. But it is scarier with open trays. I have to watch for elbows that want to knock it all over. But I try not to put more than 10 drills in each tray. It keeps it interesting.😉
I can’t seem to bend in the way to lay it flat on the table. The easel and back light help me a lot.
You are making good progress on the diamond painting. I know I have to stop after a little while because looking at those tiny pieces is eye straining! 🙂
It can get hard on the eyes. I have a back light and a magifying light to help me. And if that isn’t enough I have the overhead and a reading light nearby. And I try to not do too much dark colors. Those really do me in. But the sitting forward like that hurts my back and arms so I have to stop. It’s better and lasts longer if you take your time. That’s what I tell myself anyway! 😂
I had never heard of Daybreak. When I first read your post, I thought of Daybreakers, which is a Vampire on steroids movie. lol It might be fun to watch Daybreak, and see how much of my old stomping grounds they actually use.
Here’s my Sunday Flounder February post: https://yvensong.wordpress.com/2024/02/11/a-low-key-sunday-floundering-february/
You might like it! I’ll go over and read yours. I’m so behind today!
Diamond art sounds so cool! I am happy you enjoy it! You do a lot and I am in awe of your creativity! X
It is fun. It doesn’t take much creativity. It’s more like paint by number without the mess. It’s more Zen like calming.
Thanks for playing!
Thanks for the flounder! 💜
