Diamond Art | Tired as a Mother

Good morning y’all! Hope everyone is doing amazing! It’s a bit chilly in Tennessee this morning, but the sun is shining and I think it’s going to be a beautiful day. The kids are at school, bed is made, laundry is going and I’m dusting and vacuuming as usual.

I did however get distracted for a few minutes and I finally opened my new Diamond Art. I have been so excited to try this. I love cross stitch, puzzles and coloring so this reminds me of all three rolled into one.

I picked mine up at Hobby Lobby. I kinda wish I would have checked Amazon first. They have some that are amazing. Hobby Lobby and Michael’s had a limited supply. I do love flamingo’s though so this one will do just fine for my first one.

So this is what comes in the kit: You have a 15.8 x 15.8 Printed Fabric, a stylus, craft tray, wax caddy, comfort grip, gems and instructions. (Mine came with a random hair in the package, which didn’t make me very happy)

The fabric is a little wonky when you take it out so I taped the corners to my cardboard pattern cutting board

I’m a little disappointed that the background color is different than the one on the box.

You also get little storage bags for your gems

There are a lot of gems!

So I figured I would start at the bottom and work my way up.

So you basically dip your stylus in the wax which is what you use to pick up the gems and then you stick them on the corresponding symbols (the fabric is sticky).

I really love this so far!

I don’t have time to complete it right now, but I will give you guys an update later on. I have to get back to my wifing and momming duties. I just wanted to share this with you guys real quick! I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your day! See ya soon!

Oh my gosh guys!!! I have to show you my new goodies from my shopping trip the other day! Yeah, I know, I actually left the house and went shopping. It was a beautiful day and now it’s just cold and yucky. I will be in hybernation mode soon and then all of my fun shopping will be done on Amazon. The cold makes my body hurt and then my fingers and toes go numb, its so much fun.

Anyway, back to my new goodies! Most of them are for my planner. I’m stocking up for when I’m stuck in the house! I started out on my way to Hobby Lobby and I ended going to Michael’s too.

Hobby Lobby had all of their Paper Studio products 50% off. I don’t shop at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s unless what I want is on sale.

I always need pens and stencils!

Michael’s had all of their Planners and Accessories on sale for 40% off so I had to have more stickers.

I had to have the pink paper and I love lists!

I have to share these little guys! I didn’t buy them so I may have to go back. They are too cute!

I also bought another insert for my planner. I feel like I actually need this one.

And last but not least I grabbed a few patterns that I absolutely had to have! You can’t beat $1.99 when the patterns are originally about $18. Now I have to drag out my sewing machine.

Oh yeah, I also bought one of those Diamond Art things with my 40% coupon. I have been dying to try it. That will be a whole other post hopefully sometime this week.

As always, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to visit me. Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday! See ya soon!
