Diamond dot?
I've done three decent sized ones. One Santa, one winter, and this wonderful cow one:
They've become my after Christmas winter project. I have another Santa to do but never seem to get the time. I bet I'll be working on it come January :) I find them very relaxing and it's quite satisfying to see the picture come to life. Have any of you tried them? What are your thoughts on them? |

| I haven’t yet but they really look fun and almost addicting! |

Heather I have done several small ones(8x8) , a butterfly, a quote and a honeybee. They are very relaxing because you don’t have to count like in cross stitch. I have a very large seascape that I have waiting to work on, but when I start, I know I won’t do anything else until it’s done. So for now, it’s on hold, too many other things to be done right now. It will be a good project for the long cold winter I guess.
Debbie it IS addicting, lol. |

| It would be hard for me to have to put it down and go work on something else! Where do you find your kits? |

| I do not know why but I just could not do it and got frustrated, just did not care for it. But, I have friends that love doing them and they are all beautiful! |
Big Hugs,

| I have ordered on Amazon, and Hobby Lobby has a good selection. I recently found a set there to make book marks. |

Wanda - That's why my Santa hasn't been started LOL! It's 20.5" x 31.5" and has 34,029 dots. I won't be getting anything done while working on it and I think it's going to take a while!
Debbie - I thought I would be like you and hate them. I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed doing them!
All of mine have been gifts. The first Santa I did was a gift from my mother in law from Amazon. The winter one was a gift from my husband. Not sure where he ordered it from but it came straight from China and took forever to get here LOL! He was so upset he said he's not getting me anymore. The cow was a Christmas surprise from Krista last year. And I think the new Santa I have to do yet came from my mother in law for Christmas. I've seen some at JoAnn's but Hobby Lobby has a much better selection! |

| I have tried it and I just was not any good. All those little diamond beads I just could not hold on to with my arthritis. So frustrating, even Kent tried to help me. So I have a kit packed away somewhere, my Neice gave it to me so I feel bad. |
Big Hugs,
Debbie
