In this week’s WIP and Chat, I’m hanging out with you while I work on my diamond painting and we just… catch up like friends. This one is very much a cozy “put something on in the background” kind of chat—mini road trips, some truly unhinged outtakes energy, and the little mindset shifts I’m making to build better habits. If you’re crafting along with me, I hope it feels like a reset for your Monday and a gentle nudge to keep showing up for your projects (and yourself) in small, doable ways. On the diamond painting side, I’m working on “Persephone” from Diamond Art Club (sadly discontinued), and I share what I’d do if you’re trying to hunt it down—destash groups, eBay, Mercari, all that jazz. I also touch on some of the tools and accessories that make my WIP time smoother, like thin metal multiplacers and a ceramic blade pen for clean, controlled cuts. As always, I want you to leave this chat feeling calmer, more motivated, and excited to get a few more drills placed—no pressure, just progress.
