In this week’s WIP and Chat, I’m diamond painting right alongside you and just doing what we do best—crafting and catching up in a cozy, low-pressure way. I chat about what it’s been like spending a year trying new things (and how that can feel both exciting and a little weird), plus I ramble a bit about relating to book characters because apparently my brain loves to emotionally attach to fictional people. If you’re in a season of change, or you’re just feeling a little “meh,” I hope this one feels like a calm hangout with a friend while we place some drills. I also share what I’m using at my desk—things like mini sets, trays, wax, and multiplacers—because I know we all love a good tool talk. I mention some of my go-to shops and accessories that make WIP time smoother (and more cat-resistant), and I link my wax/putty video if you want a deeper dive. And yes… I fully admit my current obsession: Clair Obscur. Consider this your warning that I could talk about it forever.
