ITS OK TO HAVE A HARD TIME. I understand as i have the same issue in a whole they have beautiful work but the drills should be addressed. Im commited to finish woodland panarama even though its a struggle thank you for your honesty about the painting. huggs
Thanks Naomi. You have some lovely finishes for April and several wips that will be very exciting. I am looking forward to that mystery kit and seeing your progress with it. I have to say that Ajisai was my favorite. It is absolutely stunning and I enjoyed watching you work on her during the 24 hour Mental Health Awareness marathon...it was just so fun.
I first found your channel when you were working on Catch Me in a WIP and Chat. That kit is SO PRETTY! 😍 I cannot get enough of those colors. I've been working on a Myka Jelina piece by DAC which has just the right amount of color blocking and confetti for me and Catch Me seems to be about the same so I may need to pick it up. I've always loved Kirby too, so that's another plus. You have so many beautiful kits, both completed and as WIPs. Looking forward to seeing what May brings for your channel Naomi! if you really have time to hear about my current/upcoming projects, here goes: I posted my two main current WIPs to the discord. There's Pomona, the Myka Jelina piece, and then a HUGE Jaded Gem Shop piece, Mischievous Woods by Little Alfard. That one is 90 x 130 cm. It's almost big enough to be a table cloth for my craft table. 😂 I'm planning to have Pomona finished sometime this month so I can start another JGS piece called The Library, an "old masters" painting which I'm going to do for Summer with the Masters. I'm excited for that one because I've got a bunch of enhancements for it. Then I have another WIP I stopped doing so I could work on Mischievous Woods, Unicorn Forest, a GORGEOUS Dreamer Designs kit. If I ever finish Mischievous Woods I will be getting back to that one. I'm having some trouble with gapping on it. I'm hoping it won't be too bad when it's done. And once I get caught up on all of that, I have Butterfly Mermaid with a bunch of enhancements from Shimmering Canvases. Diamonds and Washi recently did that kit and I adore the colors so I couldn't resist. The character for that artwork also happens to look like a character I play in an MMORPG so even more reason to pick it up. I adore mermaids and I was looking at my stash. I have several unicorn kits, faeries and lots of pretty "big eyed girls" as you call them. But no mermaids. So Butterfly Mermaid was my correction to that issue with my Stash. 😂
Yes, I highly recommend picking up.Catch me period the colors are wonderful, the color blocking, the whole experience was nice. I saw your pictures in the discord and what you have looks really awesome. I'm enjoying the JGS and want to get a pixel charted one!!
All of your finishes turned out beautifully!😍 I'm in the middle of deciding which of my rounds canvases to kit up. Been a bit distacted as of late. I think I need to start a WIP rotation. Feeling a rut coming on🙄 I can't wait to see your mystery kit come to life!🫶🏽
Muzzle nozzle was my first regular diamond painting. I believe I’ve been painting for about 4 years or more. I really like your WIP choices. Very nice selection. I also like your completions especially the dragon. I’m not really into Mrs Butter’s work but it is always lovely. I have one of Margret Morales’ works in my stash. I have 4 WIPS. Treasure Quest by Randal Spangler, By the light of the Moon by willowing arts, Blue Rose by Laurie Prindle, and Jesus Blessing by Mandie Manzano I’m working on now.These are in between a mass of key chains and door hanger and a few bargain paintings. All are fairly large and only Jesus Blessing is round of the major paintings. Slow going but I need to get them done for family friends. I’m trying to complete all these and the rest of my WIPs this year. Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend. Peace and love abide with you 💕
Thanks for your comment Bev! I do love squares but definitely need to break up the kind of "slog" by working on rounds every now and again! Good luck on getting them completed! You can do it!
Hi Naomi I'm working on Flower Fairy from Calming Canvas. I have only been dp since November 2023.When I started and didn't know about licensed art I bought alot of canvases from Temu and Amazon,luckily most are not stolen. I plan to do them since I bought them but now I'm being alot more aware of what I'm getting.... ,Can't wait to see what your mystery is,even though I chose the other....lol
Beautiful finishes! Can’t wait to see your mystery kit from Jaded Gem Shop! I hope you enjoy it! I’m heading into May with 2 WIPS both diamond art club . Irish Coffee Dragon by Stanley Morrison and Mystery kit #52 by Christina Yen (the sixth leaf clover) maybe I’ll get a finish on both ?
Thank you for sharing! That was fun. 😊 I just started diamond painting in January and am currently working on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory from DAC. 💙
Spirit isn't my normal style that I gravitate to but it's stunning. I'm working on my first dreamer designs. It's the free promo kit and it's okay. I don't have much to compare it to. But the gapping and trashy drills are the same issue I'm having. I have a big dreamer design that I'm going to do that my daughter picked. So I hope it's better.
Oooh, can’t wait to see what your mystery kit is, and also what you think of Jaded Gem Shop! I am currently working on Books n Nooks by Yuumei Art (DAC) and also a little on the DAC mystery kit that my husband is working on. I recently ordered my first JGS kit and I am hoping it gets here soon so I can start it!
The drills are fantastic, the glue is very sticky and the symbols are clear. I didn't pay for the grid (I probably should have), but I am figuring it out! Also, some symbols are repeated but change direction which is confusing so i have tro watch VERY CLOSELY but that hasn't soured the experience. I want to get one of the new pixel charted ones!
With the glow in the dark drills I know with the hogwarts castle piece I did from Diamond dotz it glows really well. I have a LED light bulb in my ceiling light in the room I have the piece in and after an hour of leaving the light on it glowed very bright and long. 😊 so maybe try a LED light and shine it on the piece. And I thought it was just me with the stinky abs. Everyone has told me that's normal and I'm like wait what. I thought it was due to my mom's smoking when I lived with her. Her smoking made my DAC canvases I was working on stink too and slightly yellow. 😅
HI there and thanks for the suggestion! I have a UV flashlight and even with that I can't get them to glow brightly or very long. Not sure what's up with that. :(
@HouseOfMiscellania who DAC? And no they arent next. A mystery and the teletubbies is next. The teletubbies is going to be a quick finish then the sunflower.
ITS OK TO HAVE A HARD TIME. I understand as i have the same issue in a whole they have beautiful work but the drills should be addressed. Im commited to finish woodland panarama even though its a struggle thank you for your honesty about the painting. huggs
Yeah, I don't know why the space is so big and the drills are so small.
Thanks Naomi. You have some lovely finishes for April and several wips that will be very exciting. I am looking forward to that mystery kit and seeing your progress with it. I have to say that Ajisai was my favorite. It is absolutely stunning and I enjoyed watching you work on her during the 24 hour Mental Health Awareness marathon...it was just so fun.
Thanks Carol! It really was a blast and I can't wait to get planning another event!

Awww thank you so much!
Omg that Grand Canal is stunning. I hope you do a post-review on it! Please!!!
You bet I will

I totally understand! We weren't all born knowing, right? LOL Good luck on Flower Fairy and I hope she's a fun finish!
Beautiful finishes! Can’t wait to see your mystery kit from Jaded Gem Shop! I hope you enjoy it! I’m heading into May with 2 WIPS both diamond art club . Irish Coffee Dragon by Stanley Morrison and Mystery kit #52 by Christina Yen (the sixth leaf clover) maybe I’ll get a finish on both ?
OMG I wanted Irish Coffee Dragon SO BADLY but it sold out so fast!
@@HouseOfMiscellania yes it did I couldn’t believe how fast he sold out! Hopefully he comes back in stock soon!
@@Snoogle_Boogle I hope so too! I have text notifications on for him!
Thank you for sharing! That was fun. 😊 I just started diamond painting in January and am currently working on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory from DAC. 💙
Ooh that one looked fun! I was bummed I didn't pick it up. What's your plan for after that one?
I hope you can get it soon! The colors are delicious. I'd like to work on Cat~tain Jack next. It'll be delivered in the next few days. Yay!
@@Mystic_Blu Oh Cat-tain Jack is HILARIOUS!! I love that one!
Spirit isn't my normal style that I gravitate to but it's stunning. I'm working on my first dreamer designs. It's the free promo kit and it's okay. I don't have much to compare it to. But the gapping and trashy drills are the same issue I'm having. I have a big dreamer design that I'm going to do that my daughter picked. So I hope it's better.
Is that one also squares? You'd think they would at least make sure their PROMO kits were good!
@HouseOfMiscellania its square and the gapping is big. I just assumed it was my placement. And yes the one my daughter picked is square.
@@diamondsandthoughts Nope, it's not your placing unfortunately. UGH. I am not looking forward to other kits from them :(
Oooh, can’t wait to see what your mystery kit is, and also what you think of Jaded Gem Shop!

Also, some symbols are repeated but change direction which is confusing so i have tro watch VERY CLOSELY but that hasn't soured the experience. I want to get one of the new pixel charted ones!
Hahaha I didn’t pay for the grid lines either. Oh well it will be an adventure 😂😂😂
@@serabi_crafts LOL Yeah, it's been a little bit of a struggle but I am going to try it with the light pad and see if that works better.
With the glow in the dark drills I know with the hogwarts castle piece I did from Diamond dotz it glows really well. I have a LED light bulb in my ceiling light in the room I have the piece in and after an hour of leaving the light on it glowed very bright and long. 😊 so maybe try a LED light and shine it on the piece.

HI there and thanks for the suggestion! I have a UV flashlight and even with that I can't get them to glow brightly or very long. Not sure what's up with that. :(
@HouseOfMiscellania maybe if you hang it and get a uv light strip and keep it on one all day it may glow longer?
Lovely pieces
Thanks so much! I had such a good time working on them!
Im meant to be sleeping but im watching instead 😂
LOL Sorry Cheryl!! 🤣
But my desert blossom one just got here as well as a sunflower one. So i think those will be my next!
Did you see the sunflower they released last Saturday?? I thought of you!
@HouseOfMiscellania who DAC? And no they arent next. A mystery and the teletubbies is next. The teletubbies is going to be a quick finish then the sunflower.
I have noticed a weird smell sometimes when doing. I think it's from the ABs and I never put them together. What?! Haha, that's so weird!
I know! And now I can't not smell it!
Im workong on twiated blossom and beautiful colored death
Beautiful colored death is beautiful!
@HouseOfMiscellania i know and im already done with the first row. I feel like it will go to quick! You were right.
@@diamondsandthoughts Especially if there'd color blocking, you'll be done in no time flat!
@HouseOfMiscellania I hope so I have a bunch I wanna do haha
@@diamondsandthoughts LOL You'll see! You're going to be on to the next before you know it!
🩷❤️🧡
Back at ya!
