98 hours a week sounds about right. I remember what life was like working full time plus raising kids and handling the house. Not fun. I’ve been home with the kids since 2009 and I’m so much happier.

I don’t miss the sleep deprivation either!!

I just started diamond painting, finished my first one just the other day with just what came with the kit. Just the ribbon baggies they came in for storing my drills. Bought my second one and a storage kit and new pens yesterday. So excited to kit up for the first time!!!!

Awesome! Thanks for watching!!

Enjoy watching your kitting up. Static drives me crazy too. I also don’t use the numbers. Just use the DAC and symbols/ number/alphabet. I do arrange them by number,then alphabetical, then symbols ( putting like symbols together). Neat little funnel, but I prefer the square 1.9 “ tall in the cases. I do like the rounds in the stackable draws as they stack nicely and take up less space, but they cost more. Some one told me they were in a restaurant here in the states that did have robots. Enjoyed the company. I’ll check out that company. Peace and love abide with you 💕

I’ve seen that kit completed, and it is stunning! I’m so tempted but have plenty of large paintings in my stash already.

The chemical smell of static guard is a deal breaker for me. Dryer sheets are my go to. The always work but the secret is the technique. Have you seen how diamond painting Jim does it? It’s the best method. I take it a step further but his method is close to mine. Check him out, I rarely struggle with static using that method.

Maybe I just don’t get the right kind of dryer sheets - I’ve had way better luck with the static spray than the sheets!

Thanks for this Daphne. I watched this in hospital to help me to calm down and sleep. I had horrific pain. You've got a calm presence. Take care. ❤💗

Hello Daphne , I had gotten so tired of having to clean off with googone that I purchased the white round labels and have them all on my round bottles . Makes removing the painting label off . DAC are not the stickiest and have a tendency to curl up on the container . Have tried using tweezers to place them , but it didn't matter. It doesn't matter who are creating the label , some stick way to good and some barely stick at all .

I usually don't have much trouble with DAC stickers, but it also depends on how long they've been attached to the container. Washi tape for the win! Thanks for watching!!

The fashion style of the girl in the painting is called Decora, which is basically ’decorated’. It was a popular Harajuku-based (yes, it’s an area of Tokyo known for youth niche fashion and cute things) fashion in the 2006-2012ish range, if personal memory serves me. Outliers, like visual kei bands continued the look longer. I think it’s making a bit of a comeback recently, though with a different group of people. Anime and idol fans instead of visual kei fans…
