I am a truckers wife and a empty nester.Both are lonely...i came across one of your videos and decided to try it. And thank God and you, that i did... i have never had a hobby. I am in love and now i am not miserable. This is the best life. I have even turned one one the spare rooms into my DP room.

Ps... Mental health… You have touched a very important topic here that none of the other “I wish I knew” DP videos i have seen so far have covered! This is definitely a craft that can help with relieving mental stress for some. But, you are absolutely 100% right that we need to pay attention to not fall into a hole of burn out with DP. Having ADHD, I have a tendency to go all out and hyperfocus on something before I move on to the next thing. This encourages me to take a step back and know that I don’t have to complete it all NOW or get all the things NOW... It is meant to be enjoyed. It is a tool to help me relax. Not something to further add to my stress pile. 😘

Girl talking about having a comfy workspace…unfortunately I don’t have space to have one I have to do it on my couch with a board on my lap. And the time goes by so fast when you’re doing this.

[Ellen-Richmond-DPcrochet]

You are comforting to listen to. I appreciate how real you are & your heart. Thank you for being generous with your time ❤

I wish I'd known about dp burnout before it happened to me. It took me 4 years before i was able to start working on a dp again. Im so happy my burnout is gone ❤ i love this craft a lot!

I'm about to start a HAED, 4.5 feet by 6 feet
I love that you tell everyone they shouldn't feel bad for not being able to afford it.
I felt burnt out too. So I'm trying to sell kits too. But now I'm back and trying a big one xD

[zensbleexperience]

I love your no 🐂💩approach and your integrity! Great video as always. I have DP playlists as well as a collection of WIP AND CHATS. thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!

[qb_designs]

Came around to this video again in Patreon. This is the very first video of yours I ever saw. So glad I found you and thankful to consider you my friend. Thanks for all that you do! I can’t wait to see what’s next! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Thanks for tackling 2 of the biggest problems with diamond painting or any other hobby really. Overbuying and burnout. When I first started a year ago I joined so many dp groups and found that the more I joined, the more $ I spent. It was like a race to the finish and whoever had the most toys won. I wanted everything but ended up with a bunch of paintings I didn't like or want. The destash groups are great and I "rehomed" several paintings

Also burnout. Last winter I was going through a hard time and just had no desire to dp. So I basically stopped for several months and only started up again a month ago. I found the joy again. Like you said, sometime you have to just relax and trust the process. If the joy returns you have plenty of projects waiting, or else you can try something new. The great thing with hobbies is that the choices are endless!

Wish I had this back a yr ago. Bought too many paintings. Thanks for all the help and support Mrs Coffee. You're the Best!!!

This is awesome Mrs Coffee...even helpful to me, who has been DP since Nov 2019. You put things in such a kind way, and i think you’re a wonderful person. Sending you love and hugs. 🥰❤️🥰

[mommakwa]

Thank you for the tips. You inspired me to try square after watching one of your Wips. So great big thanks for that, as I loveee doing squares now.

[chrystalcole]

Your right and it’s so confusing at times… thank you for this

[diamondpaintingbookworm]

Thank you so much for the helpful info! I am newer to diamond painting and enjoy your videos🥰

[sheilalemasters]

I am late watching this one. But I have to say great video and great points! These are facts and points that I haven't seen anyone else mention. I have gotten the burn out. Glad I never sold my stuff. Also, I learned not to work on them too long. At one point I sat for hours and hours and caused a minor hand injury and had to reluctantly stay away from this hobby until I recovered. Now, I just do small sections in a sitting and walk away for the day.

❤, thank you for the tips. I'm just starting my journey

I love to diamond paint and i like the round, I'm trying the square. When i first started diamond painting l bought off of amazon and then i decided to order from Diamond Art Club after a year passed by.


When i buy a diamond painting i buy what catches my attention, eye interest.

I have been through the i can't do this painting/ work on it. And i have stepped asided and done something else.

When i work on a painting i only work on it at lest an hour or 2, 3 hours is the max.


I'm not a impulse buyer, i have a wish list.

I buy what i can when i can. I buy as i need / go.

When i started to diamond painting a friend suggested it to me. I'm the opposite of her when it comes from diamond painting. See is obsessed with this craft. She ask me things that i didn't know what she was talking about and many times that its overwhelming at times.

I my ask her a question and she sometimes goes on and on.

So i have researched what i need to know so i don't have to ask.

And i have learned something everytime I'm working on something i realize some i didn't know before.

Thanks for the advice. Great video.
