Love the tree frog @Former-Member ! Great job

😊😊❤️❤️🐸🐸🌻🌻☕☕

Beautiful dotting as always @Maggie.

Like your sewing machine @cutiepiekitty, will look great when you get to the end.

I am trying my first square one at the moment, bit tricky at the start, but, think I am. Getting the hang of it.

@Judi9877, blankly looks great, ambitious!! 😊😊

It's really nice to see everyones.efforts. Happy crafting to you all.. 😊😊❤️❤️

@Gazza75 the squares do take a bit of getting used to but the finished result is amazing. No spaces.

@cutiepiekitty, yes I think the picture will turn out better in the long run I have a few. More square ones to work on, thought I had a large one, but, turns out I ordered round

I get most of mine from aliexpress, have heard gemit is very good to. 😊

@BlueBay, I'm not very clever

It's just time and patience and a. Little practice. I started out with a nice small one and went from there.

I find it relaxing and helps me. Focus. And not think or dwell to much.

Hope you are having an okay night. 😊😊❤️❤️🌻🌻☕

@Former-Member I like your tree frog. Well done you. 😍😍😍👍👍👍✔️✔️✔️

Hi @CheerBear @Maggie @Gazza75 @cutiepiekitty @BlueBay @Former-Member @outlander and all crafty people here! It’s so nice to check in here and see all the wonderful crafty creations😊! Well done👍!

It was so nice to see your tree frog @Sherry. I love it, especially all of the details in it. I think it would be great as a cross stitch!

@Maggie Yes, it’s amazing what you find out in relation to how different crafts can cross over like diamond dots and cross stitch. I found this out through a Facebook group that I follow. I love your rocks as well, especially the one with the eyes. So cute! I’m yet to venture into my rock painting kit that I purchased a few weeks ago- I’ve got issues with starting anything new right now because of my housing situation being a bit uncertain until Friday. Long story so I won’t go into it here but crafting is helping especially the knitting of the blanket strips which are simple yet doesn’t require much thinking.

@CheerBear thanks for the nice comments about the blanket! Yes, it’s a bit random but I like how I just knit according to the colours of how I feel. I have a thing about colours and meanings and I tend to be drawn to certain colours at certain times- just a feelings and mental thing I guess! As for uni, it’s studying again as usual but I have done some knitting this morning - this time, I’m knitting yellow but I’m not sure how long I’ll knit it for. Uni is fun but stressful but I am enjoying learning which is the main thing.

@Gazza75 thank you for all the comments! I like your diamond dots and seeing how you’re going with them. Speaking of things like that, I found a crochet pattern called Starry Nights which is based on the colours of Van Gogh I believe. It’s hexagon based and in different shades of blue with white and yellow in it. You can make a blanket or a pillow from the pattern. This might be good for the crochet lovers in the group @CheerBear @outlander @Maggie and others.

Okay! Time to go! Have fun creating today! @Judi9877

Have a good day @Judi9877 . Hope your housing situation is sorted out soon. I have seen a few people do a cross stitch pattern into a diamond painting. I think I can see how it would work. In my local spotlight the 2 crafts are next to each other and some of the designs like galahs and parrots are displayed in both.

I didn't know about the DMC codes, but, I have read that they do vary between manufacturers for diamond paintings.

I'd love to see the frog cross stitched. It's still one of my favourite paintings I have seen. Think it has close to 30 colours in it, happy to send you the colour chart for it if it helps and you want to give it a whirl.

@Judi9877 Have seen the Starry Night by Van Gogh done as a beaded bracelet by one of the ladies at craft. Looked really great. Have seen it for diamong painting too. They can make a picture into practically anything these days

@Gazza75 Most places use the DMC numbers for diamond painting drills. The discount shops and the diamond dotz brand use their own however
