This was fun today. When my glue dots quit working I used the QuickStik. It worked very well!
There isn’t much finished since yesterday, but the spa slipper is nearly to the heel stage.
When I post this, I plan to write a new scene for my book rewrite. This part of the writing process is harder than that first read/edit. I have to think more while trying to keep my creative brain open to new ideas. So there’s that. I’ll let you know if the scene works out.
How’s your Friday?
Still kind of tired so the week is going slow. ☹️
I got new glasses.
$15 at Amazon. Blue Light Protection, well, what it says on the box up there. The bottom part is a 3.50 and it gradually goes less. I wish the top was just clear as I still have to glance over the top for farther away, like television. But they help a lot for reading, knitting, and Diamond Painting.
Speaking of which:
Oh, and using the ruler is wobbly after hitting the middle section of the picture. Again, maybe there’s a learning curve.
My friend gave me new yarn. Are you feeling the giddiness I felt receiving it? Whee! ❤️❤️❤️🤗
I still haven’t climbed back into the editing chair. 😢 Maybe tomorrow or weekend will get me going.
It is slightly warmer lately, but the wind keeps me inside. Even so I’m cold. I’m working on my diet to see if that’s the problem. With some foods unavailable in our stores I’m needing to be creative. Time for some shifting around.
I feel better today. Still a little tired, even after 8 hours last night and a nap. You know, as useless as I felt over the last couple days, my hands continued knitting. So that this morning I finished this pair of slipper socks for the charity.
I managed a bit of Diamond Painting before a nap took me.
More progress on the dragon. I’m loving the ruler for straighter lines.
I brushed on the frame for the sunset. Not sure I like it. Maybe I’ll try to get a regular frame. Or see if I can make it nicer.
My editing seems stalled. But maybe if I plant myself at the laptop right now, I can find my way to words–good ones, I hope.
Meanwhile, I stay occupied.
I decided to try the ruler.
Because I don’t have to strain my eyes or back using the ruler, I got a lot more done.
Just a word about the sunset beach. My brother helped me learn a way to mix colors to get the perfect frame. Problem was I ran out of the mix. The second try just didn’t match. I was told to add water and it got runny. So I let it dry. I’ll attack tomorrow. Finished Friday will have at least one item!
I was so excited to get started I forgot to take a pic of the beginning dot. I learned from YouTube tutorials and Facebook groups that when you have a large area of one color, you should checkerboard the dots. I began doing that. I found it fun and lined up the drills better than popping them in a straight line. And even more addictive. I almost got up to go work on editing. But found myself adding more and more, even when my back growled. I got up and stretched and bent then sat back down and did more dotting.
Now I need to write/rewrite/edit.
So I finally am finished aligning the drills. I must complain about the glue not holding properly in some places while not allowing an alignment shift in others. So I took a pic prior to doing a layer of Mod Podge.
Today I started the new fun Diamond Painting. I received this new project of four pieces. Four dragons!
I pulled out one and chose to work on it without peeking.
Right away I’m impressed with the key and symbols. Just alphanumeric. And clear. So much easier on my eyes. And the sample picture makes me excited. It is bigger than either of my last two DP projects.
Here is how the packages of0 diamonds, drills, came. Way better than my previous works.
And now I am kitted up.
Tomorrow I’ll tape the edges. Then I’ll roll up the bottom, section off the top with release paper. And start dotting on the upper right working left then down. It keeps my hands off the sticky bits that way.
Here is the kit if you are interested.
