Diamond painting thread 2.0

[BlackCurtains]

There's a shop on Etsy that sells mainly cross stitch, but they also have diamond kits. I saw a pattern and loved it and thought it was cross stitch kit but it was a diamond painting kit. I'm thinking of getting it. I don't really need a new crafty hobby, but I love the pattern so much.

I tried to diamond paint a few weeks ago and didn't enjoy it all.  It's easy to forget sometimes that I'm still recovering from surgery and still need to take it easy.  I want to try again though and hopefully it will be more fun this time. Maybe my expectations were too high because I was really looking forward to it.

We went to Hobby Lobby today and there was a big sign that said Christmas stuff was 50% 0ff.  Mom and I saw 2 diamond paintings that we wanted and mom went to the checkout to buy them.  When they rang them up, the employees wouldn't honor the 50% off because they said they weren't considered Christmas items even though they were signed as such and they were a picture of a Christmas tree and a reindeer with Christmas ornaments on its antlers.  The employees argued with my mom that they were 40% off instead of 50% despite the sign.  My mom decided not to get them and we left the store.  We went to another store for a bit and by the time we were ready to leave that store my mom had decided to go back to the first one and complain to the manger about the employees refusing to honor the sign.  The manger apologized and said that the diamond art kits were supposed to be 50%.   The manger let my mom get the kits she wanted for the correct price and even went to the register to find the reindeer one because they didn't have any more of that one on the sales floor.

Congrats on your new diamond art Flitter.  

I love seeing pics of everyone's projects.

Today I finnished this painting of moms cat Adolf. I'm gonna frame it and give it to her for christmas . I did not get the best picture of it since it's dark and the lamp make it blurr a bit.

The cards are cute, but your mom’s cat?!  turned out adorable. Hahaha, love it!

[BlackCurtains]

Those cards are super cute! I love the cat

[Beldarna]

Thank you shockponie. It was my husband who took the picture and he had named it fatso. Adolf was unfortunaly obese and mom did a poor job dieting him which was what unfortunaly sent him to an early grave . She could not say no to those eyes begging for another treat. He was my cat Simbas littermate and they turn 12 this november. But still, mom loved that cat and still talk about him so I thought this would be a neat gift.

BC, me too! I almost want to keep all of them

[Ponyfan]

Those cards are neat.   I like the picture of your mom's cat too.

I found these today at Dollar Tree.

This is Majsan with a Dimond Painting of herself. The pic is a bit darker but it's still her. It came out so beautiful. I have no idea where to put it so a week later it still lays at the same spot ,lol.

Lovely diamond paintings of Majsan and Ninja! I also immediately noticed those cute pony leggings! 

[Beldarna]

Oh, thanks. They're sweatpants actually and were sold five or six years ago through a store chain here. I bought two pairs I kind of live in them when I'm home. They're super comfy.

Aww! Look at his cute little nose markings

[Heart Of Midnight]

A handsome Ninja and a beautiful diamond painting of him!  He has great whiskers!

(I also immediately saw that beautiful snow globe! I got the same one yesterday and it's the most beautiful snow globe I've ever seen (or should I say glitter globe?)! Especially when you turn on its own light and admire it in the dark.)
