I've been watching these diamond art videos all day and thank you so much for the conversation about the drills being straight and about the gaps in the work. I was having such an issue last night with the piece I was working on and honestly felt a little defeated. You articulated this so well; honestly wish I would have found your channel sooner, I probably wouldn't have been as anxious 😅 I really appreciated all the tips you gave in the video.

Hi Mrs Coffee, thank you so much for helping handle square drills. I was working on a canvas with square drills. I literally went OCD with each and every drill. Okay, I am ADHD, so having OCD is common. Know, I can relate and Diamond paint with square drills. Love your nails. Have wonderful evening.

Good morning, Sunshine! I’m cleaning up my kitchen and emptying my sink and this video was the perfect audio accompaniment! I’ve just kitted up my first square DP. It’s a snack size 12 x 12”. But, (WELP!) I’ve also purchased one that is a little bit larger… (47x24”), haha! After watching this, I feel a lot less intimidated about starting with square drills. And I am a lot more confident that I can move forward without driving my brain crazy trying to get them all straight. You’re so easy to digest, Miss Coffee. You’ve brought me a sense of calm this morning as I’m flitting about my house prepping for my husband to come home from the hospital after a very long week. I just love your content and chill style. It always pops up in my feed exactly when I need it! The universe (or Algorithm, lol) must love me today! 😆😘

I needed to hear this tonight. I’ve been working on Elusive from DAC for like 6 wks now. My 1st square and I know everything you said in my head I just needed to “hear” it to give me that push. This is the one that made me push subscribe! Ty.

Hi, Mrs Coffee. I'm awaiting the delivery of 2 (small) square diamond canvases. I've only been diamond painting for 3 weeks, so I started with round diamonds but heard that square ones can provide more detail on a smaller canvas. Your video has alleviated any trepidation I may have had about squares. Thanks for your great advice - and for pointing out that we don't need a special kind of drill pen for square drills. As a newbie, that was something I was unsure about. I don't have kids, but I have an indoor cat so if I have to leave my canvas for a period of time, I tip my drills into their containers so he can't knock them out of the tray - or worse, try to eat them. (He has a history of trying to eat inedible things. And I don't need an expensive trip to the Vet.) 🙄 I usually manage to drop a few drills on the floor, so when I'm done working on my cavas at the dining table, I vacuum the floor around it for my cat's safety. I look forward to watching more of your videos - and greetings from Australia. 😀🦘🐨

Then, I guess as my confidence grew, I felt like I would try my hand at multi-placing. It was so much fun! Now, I do a combination of single, checker boarding, and multi-placing! Also, with kids and dogs I love the lock tight storage containers!!! Thank you for sharing ☺️

My drills look a lot better sense I put more around it like you've said. :) I listen to you and others too while I diamond paint. If there's nothing on, I will watch a TV show that will not distract me. I do have a small tea cup yorkie who loves to snuggle and go potty every three to four hours. Haha. Which I'm fine with it. It helps me take a break and not stress over the diamonds not so straight. :)

Hey Mrs Coffee hope hope Mr Coffee and the children and pets are well ☺ I just wanted to say thank you for a great square diamond drill video. I got a square drill kit for Xmas and tried to start it and was getting frustrated as the drills weren't quite straight and I was obsessing a little. So I stopped and found your video and your tips were great. I have now manged to complete a section and I didn't obsess and just chilled. Your right as my face is really close to the canvas and have the light pad on the drills look a bit wonky and gappy when I put the light pad off and step back it looks good 👌😊also it's great if I have a wonky drill when putting more round it it straightens it out. So a huge thank you x
