I am a truckers wife and a empty nester.Both are lonely...i came across one of your videos and decided to try it. And thank God and you, that i did... i have never had a hobby. I am in love and now i am not miserable. This is the best life. I have even turned one one the spare rooms into my DP room.

Well said Ms Coffee. I just gave a diamond painting to a friend who is close to end of cancer and I was so overwhelmed with how much she loved it and appreciated all the time I took. It’s so enjoyable. I got this bug from my mom who I didn’t discover how much she diamond painted until she passed and I found several finished paintings. She’s with me every time I diamond paint. Love your channel. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I find diamond painting can really help me get other stuff done around the house that I don’t want to do. I’ll set my timer for 30-45 min and DP. When the timer goes off, I do one thing on my ‘to do’ list. When I’m done I set my timer again and DP. Sometimes that one thing might just be unloading the dishwasher and another it’s pay the bills. This is especially helpful if you’re feeling low and can’t seem to get yourself to do anything…using this trick I can feel like I actually accomplished something…extremely helpful in the self esteem arena. I’ve experienced the burnout and it freaked me out. What I do is to not go near my DP for 2 or 3 days, then I go back and sigh with happiness and relief. DP makes me so happy it’s just goofy…I’ll take goofy over depressed any day of the week! Much love to you Mrs. C. 💕💕💕

All your info was so helpful & a good refresher for me. The most helpful thing was when you talked about speed. For me I feel I'm kinda slow. It's takes me about 2 weeks to do a 30x40 but I do just when I want to. You made me feel better about myself altogether. I do it because I enjoy it & it definitely helps my depression. So not being as fast as some that DP... it's ok. Thank you so much for your time, info & channel. God Bless you ❤️

I haven’t DP in months! I also haven’t done any of the other crafts I was doing in months! When the warm weather hit, I spent so much more time out on my patio colouring and enjoying it and NOBODY has given me a hard time for it! If someone does then I will gladly tell them where to go and give them short cuts on how to get there that their head would spin! You get 1 life to live so enjoy as much of it as you can in the small amount of time you get! After you retire you can enjoy a little more time doing what you like! Who cares what the other guy thinks! Not me! Opinions are like assholes! Everybody’s got one! You stay outta mine and I’ll stay outta yours! Thank you for posting this! Stay beautiful and blessed and always friggin awesome! You rock lady! 💖🇨🇦🤗

Hi Mrs Coffee. As a newbie, I feel like I'm painting at a snail's pace. It can take me an hour to finish a 2 inch by 2 inch square. It's taken me a month to get 75% of a 30cm X 40cm canvas done. However, I've been caring for my disabled husband for the past 12 years - as well as working part time and dealing with domestic duties. So what you said about diamond painting speed resonated with me. I have to remind myself that I have a lot on my plate and that I shouldn't worry about how fast or slow I'm going - as long as I'm enjoying it. I appreciate you pointing that out. 😃

@user-oi8wt3rk6s 4 ай бұрын

I began Diamond painting after my husband died suddenly. I have always read, gardened, and done many different crafts, but the stress and grief has my brain jumping around like a deranged squirrel, and none of my normal mind calming activities work right now. In order to sleep my brain has to be exhausted. I have an entire farm to make decisions on alone, as well as non-stop financial decisions. I needed some way to calm my mind. I tried Diamond painting and it works. I handle outside chores, then Diamond paint a while. Doing the chores my husband did, going into the barns, and many other tasks overwhelm me. I can get them done, if I can calm my brain afterwards. If I go to bed and images of that traumatic morning flood my mind, I get up and Diamond paint for a while. It works.

@teresajparker3876 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with a lot of what you said. Especially about the burn out. I’ve been struggling with this myself. I think part of the problem is the fact that I’m working on a 70 X 100 cm kit. I was getting the urge to crochet and knit. Finally I gave in and so far I’ve finished a scarf and knitted two hats in just two days. And I’m still taking brakes from diamond painting. But I do a little diamond painting every day. Just so I won’t get way behind. But today my arm hurts. From knitting. So I’m trying to take it easy.

Thanks for the video. I just started. The whole thing about the mental health - that's applies to every craft. I am a quilter and a cross stitcher, but thought I'd try a few of these.

@shirleyatwater8703 2 ай бұрын

Love your videos. I'm from Canada and I watch you all the time. One thing I found interesting is the fact that you can have burn out from a hobby. This happened to me last year when doing cross stitch. Had to put it down for almost a year. But eventually I got back at it. Now I had just got my first DP as a gift. It's a picture of a red truck and very anxious to get it started. Thank you for the tips on how to get it started.

@Clarachk Жыл бұрын

Ps... Mental health… You have touched a very important topic here that none of the other “I wish I knew” DP videos i have seen so far have covered! This is definitely a craft that can help with relieving mental stress for some. But, you are absolutely 100% right that we need to pay attention to not fall into a hole of burn out with DP. Having ADHD, I have a tendency to go all out and hyperfocus on something before I move on to the next thing. This encourages me to take a step back and know that I don’t have to complete it all NOW or get all the things NOW... It is meant to be enjoyed. It is a tool to help me relax. Not something to further add to my stress pile. 😘

Good stuff! I noticed that a lot of tubers lose their crafty mojo during the summer months. One thing I wish I learned when I started DP'ing was to washi tape around the drill area to prevent cat hair (and maybe some lint) from sticking onto the excess adhesive. 🐈

@bethanne1041 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for tackling 2 of the biggest problems with diamond painting or any other hobby really. Overbuying and burnout. When I first started a year ago I joined so many dp groups and found that the more I joined, the more $ I spent. It was like a race to the finish and whoever had the most toys won. I wanted everything but ended up with a bunch of paintings I didn't like or want. The destash groups are great and I "rehomed" several paintings Also burnout. Last winter I was going through a hard time and just had no desire to dp. So I basically stopped for several months and only started up again a month ago. I found the joy again. Like you said, sometime you have to just relax and trust the process. If the joy returns you have plenty of projects waiting, or else you can try something new. The great thing with hobbies is that the choices are endless!

Perfect timing for this video. I have done very little diamond painting in the last 2-3 months. I sit down maybe once a week and work on my current DP for an hr or so. Glad to know burn out didn’t just happen to me. I know I will go back to it like I used to, but don’t know when. I will just let it come to me. I have been feeling very bad because I am not doing it and trust me, I have the time, I am retired. I just got a new back pillow for my chair as well as a seat from Amazon. When I got both last week, I sat down to try them and worked on my DP for hrs. So hoping I will get my grove back soon. Thanks again for this video. I needed it. 💕
