All the black bits!! Kudos to you. 😻😻🐈⬛🐈⬛🎏🎏 Several of my brick builds, including the balloon dog which built all the parts in layers, have the same type of instructions. At least with Mondrian dog it was mostly coloured pieces, with white and black as well. The black is the worst to decipher the actual brick sizes and shapes. I have a Jiji to build - all black with colour inside the ears and the collar/bow. Challenge! One that I did recently had a particular colour highlighted in the instructions with a special character next to it to distinguish it from another colour, which looked the same on the page: gold vs light brown, so it may have been the Monkey King. I had to retrace several times due to not reading carefully enough! The things we do for our loved ones 🤪🤪😻
Very true! I have to pay attention when it is grey or metallic grey, and with the transparent pieces. They are hard to draw, so it can get a bit confusing on the instruction sheets. Damian & Terry don’t know how lucky they are! 🤣🤓❤️
Luna turned out adorable. From a distance, you cannot even see the purple in the bow. I agree with @diamondpaintingwithsweett below that the little pop pf purple in the bow looks good. Looking forward to your next build! 💜💜💜
I've watched alot of these videos as I'm new to crossstitch. Your video is the most simple and informative to understand for us new beginners. Thank you for sharing.i hope to see many more videos from you. Watching from south africa.
Loved the astronaut page with the warm gray colours. I think the flowers in the mosaic book may be flowering plant in pot, rather than vase. Cat on soccer ball reminds me how my cats play sometimes. 😹😹😹 they were some awesome colouring in the spookyjapancats at the end 😸🎏😻
You really crack me up so much. I was laughing so much when you said about that time of the month meaning something else because that’s what I think every single time someone says it in their monthly video. And when you said the markers were really smelly then there was a green cloud on the screen, that got me too. Gosh, I forgot to mention that I loved your work this month!
I was surprised at just how much I got done! Not sure this month is going to be the same! It is a great feeling to finish a book, let's me know I'm doing the hobby regularly. ❤️🤓
I started watching this earlier, then stopped so I could watch with Damian as a double feature with Terry’s Gamera video. Was very funny for the viewing public, who didn’t have to eat it! We were wondering whether this was actually supposed to be eaten at all? Very sorry about your stomach upset - Terry was very supportive. I would say avoid this brand in the future at all costs!! I am amazed that this is probably aimed at children when it is so generally horrible! Anyway, you go girl 😹🌼🌸🎏🎏🎏
Really impressed withe the quality of this kit, the fabric, the number of colours, the chart included with the drills, the large number of AB drills, the drills already in ziplock bags, clearly labelled, the pretty colours, the extras. I would be happy to purchase from this company.
I haven't had an issue with CooDeals. They have provided me with a few custom designed (by me) diamond paintings and I was happy with them. Still have to do them, but you know what I mean!
Well that went very sideways!! Yes there was a carefully considered and positive comment that has just evaporated! I will try to remember what I said! I’ll get back to you on that😹😹
I was amazed at how your cat walked around the book but never on top of it for the entire flip through. Meanwhile, my cat was stepping all over my iPad as I watched!
I'm very happy with the amount of ABs and I really like the way they register them separately on the chart, makes it so much easier to know how many and what colours they are! ❤🤓
I love the pictures, but there is no pink in the rainbow. When I was in 6th grade, my teacher taught us that Roy G. Biv invented the rainbow and it’s always stuck with me. Roygbiv - red, orange, yellow , green, blue, indigo and violet. Please don’t tell me that my life is a lie!
Aww, thank you. I only said that because you were singing a song about the rainbow and it said there was pink in it. I don’t think I’m familiar with that song though. But I wasn’t just criticizing your rainbow, or something . It was actually very pretty.
I'm not sure if the issue is the lack of completions. A lot of the channels i watch hardly ever show some. It's maybe just the lack of unboxings in general. You said it yourself, your last unboxing was 2 months ago, which is quite a while😅 i mean spicing potential unboxings up with a completion every now and then surely isn't a bad idea but it seems the showing of the products i almost more important. And with some completions you could also get your stash down a bit
True, I could do with reducing the stash! There could be 1001 reasons, but like I say, they don't let you know so it could be anything. I genuinely think it is sub numbers and that I am a little more honest and not necessarily 'user friendly' with my immature human and references to 666! 😂😝
@@MiddleAgedGeekGrrrl yeah you are definitely a bit different than the other channels i watch but at least for me it's a good different❤ i started looking for 666 in unboxings of other channels when they show the legend so you had some influence for sure😂 and i'm pretty much always on board with immature humor.
Loved the Kimi dolls 😻 I enjoy seeing the Loz and the miniatures. I am working on the stupid Sakura tree on my music box kit - grrr! Very tricky - I keep moving my hands/ fingers wrong and pushing branches off as I put the next one on. I had 4 of 5 attached, took a photo to prove it (😹😹), then destroyed all that progress when trying to get number 5 in place!! Damian is here for a week, so I can concentrate on my stuff a bit more, and maybe succeed at this 😸🌸🤞🤞 I also want to have a good crack at this diamond painting thing - just have to get the tree done, or decide to take a break. Not sure which - I don’t want to forget what I was doing right so I have a chance of final success. Onwards and upwards - build high for happiness. 🎏🎏🚀
Are you using tweezers? I find tweezers are my friend when building with the mini bricks as I have sausage fingers! I totally get what you mean though, it is frustrating when that happens. I found that with building the street minis, sometimes the pieces on the inside would fall apart AFTER I put the roof on. That was frustrating! Keep going but have breaks when it gets too much. Love to you and Damian ❤.
I’ve also bought one LOZ kit on the screaming duck since your videos. Haven’t built it yet. Did you know the China company the makes Rubik’s cubes, Moyu, also started making mini building brick kits like LOZ? I just bought one on the Van Gogh sunflowers from that brand too.
They are! Oh, glad you commented so I can let you know. I have to postpone showing the display for the LOZ stuff. I am having trouble finding the cases I want (as my local Daiso closed), and I am rearranging a couple of rooms, but I will definitely do it once I am organised! ❤🤓
@@MiddleAgedGeekGrrrl Thank you. I am so looking forward to seeing your display in the future. By that time, you may have more minis completed to add to your collection. 🥰
I have looked at AliExpress and Temu and they are definitely there. My concern is that they will (most likely) be posted in the mail bags without protects and come through broken. I have ordered a container before from AliExpress and that is what happened.
@@MiddleAgedGeekGrrrl that is not good. I did have some broken DP containers - those were the ones without an outer box. I have been amazed at what does come in pristine condition just in those plastic mail bags.
Love the kimonos 👘👘 I watched this previously on the tv, so couldn’t comment. I have the tv-iPad hookup working now. So I commented on the Matcha Green Tea build first, and watching this again it does seem to be same speed. Maybe my brain is slower today?😹😹. I am concerned about the kimono lady with no head 😹😹😹🌸🎏
I thought the same thing about the torso piece but realised it is meant to be a clothes model! I think this was my favourite build out of all 4. The colours are gorgeous.
This one looked extra speedy - did you do the replay faster than the others? If not, maybe it’s the music ? Very cute, and lots of matcha green. 😻😹🎏🎏🫖🍵🫖
