But finished at last!
I’ll be sealing the Dock and the Lighthouse tomorrow and setting up new Diamond Paintings. It’s too hot for anything else.
Try to keep cool everyone!

Much looks the same as last time. But you want to know what I’m learning as I go? All attempts get me closer to not. Not a baby beginner. Not a total loser. And if I take a moment and look back I find more proficiency. Faster, not so lost. Progress. And it’s not linear. There are times I pick up the recorder and find that somehow God put holes in my fingers. Air is escaping, somewhere.
Sometimes I get the chord progression of these simple songs. But if I don’t, I only have to remember a month ago. I could tune my uke. Now I can sing little songs and not look as I move from F to G7 to C to C7 and more, and I know without looking at my hand that I did it.
I can remember being 12 and learning to crochet and knit. How I got so frustrated when I had to rip it out.
Now I look forward to trying again. The thing that makes these hobbies frustrating is placing time constraints or perfection goals.
I may not be producing the way society deems worthy, but I’m 74 and enjoying my life. Learning is my fun. Seeing changes in abilities, even as I’m told growth can’t happen anymore, THAT is the fun.
I am keeping my goal on the stationary bike and other exercises. And I see tiny improvements.
My only disappointment in me is trying to find my way to the reading aloud/editing goal. But I’ll figure it out.
Here’s the pics of progress.
I feel good about developing discipline. Why is it only now growing?
Diamonds (drills) are a Dar’s Dabbling Den best friend
The diamond painting that I Flounder with is the recliner lighthouse.
I can’t believe I’m involved in three diamond paintings at a time. I straightened and sealed the Sea Turtles. So that on pay day I can mail it. It still looks the same so I’ll use a past pic.
While it was drying, I decided to go with the peacock next. So I’m geared up ready to go. Here’s the opening.
So the founding of the day was trying not to dump diamonds everywhere especially with static making them fly. I only have two hands people!
A while back I made the suncatchers. It was fun to sit in my recliner and save my back. So I picked up the bag to hold smaller projects.
I have the lighthouse project and a lightpad in it near my chair.
I started today. I’m not very adapted to working like this. The symbols are harder to work with than numbers and letters. I forgot to take a picture as I ran out of energy. Just know the picture is about two hands’width and one hand in height. So, tiny. It may be fast or a pain. We’ll see. So far the top right of the sky has happened.
Tomorrow I’ll straighten and seal the sea turtles. It is easier to work at the dedicated table than my recliner, so far. I know there are a lot of people who work from their beds. I find myself floundering around trying to keep neat and tidy. I don’t like scattering drills, that’s what the diamonds are called.
ADD means many projects. Keeping those separate and easy to get to is a struggle. ALWAYS!
How do you all keep your hobbies contained?
Remember I told you I ordered a diamond painting for cheap from Wish? Yeah. This might be fun for a child or when I run out of good DPs. Here are the pictures.
I’ll finish opening when I’m done with my current WIP. I figure it will take a couple days. In the end I’ll probably toss it. I hope I’m surprised and can add it to my lighthouse collection.
