This was a hard day. So tired I barely got anything done. But a tiny bit of progress happened. After a bit of floundering and getting nothing else done, I took a nap.
A pair of short slipper socks. They need more ankle then ribbing. I am incorporating the arch of the foot ribbing from the no-show sock pattern. I like how it feels on my foot so I hope the recipient will like it, too.
I mentioned the tray set I use for pictures with confetti of colors. I put a little label in each one if I feel I might get mixed up.
This little tool is great for straightening the diamonds as I go.
When there are large amounts of color I have these larger trays with lids making shaking the drills a bit neater. And you can save for later that way.
See the top line? That’s what I got done today. Reaching up that long did hurt after a bit. So that’s all I could finish.
I’m having trouble with the sun catchers. I’m not sure how to make the strings of sparkles to chain on them. I’m too tired to work with it this evening. I’m watching YouTubes to see if others know how to do the jewelry parts.
I love the trays. The covered ones might be really good with Stormy. But the red chest of trays I picture a big mess quickly. It’s interesting how much easier it is to do my diamond painting without pets. 🤗
Aw, thank you. That is how I have to do things. A little at a time seems like nothing gets done. By sharing it I get to see the progress, too. And I feel I am learning as I go.

If you can take a picture of what you are trying to make, I may be able to help.
When I pull out the set tomorrow I will snap it. If I figure it out I’ll show the results. If not I will ask for help. Thank you!!!
I love your large trays with the lids. They look really handy.
Here’s my Floundering February post for Monday:

I think I’d be making a mess with the chest of trays before Stormagedden would even get a chance. LOL
I’ve come close to dumping and learned ways to keep it out of my elbow’s way.
Hope you get your energy back & feel better soon. You amaze me with all the things you accomplish every day.
Hi, nice to see you here! I’m already better. Only a little tired but I think it has to do with too much reading not enough sleeping.
I don’t feel I get a lot accomplished because I don’t do more than my hobbies most of the time. But it feels I’m doing something productive. 🤗💕
Every little bit you do is a step towards the finished product! I always love when you show your progress! Your very artsy! And very creative!

Thank you for being a part of the floundering!
