So glad the cabinets finally got done. It is awesome that you both show the kiddos show you are human also.🪴🌿
🪑👋 Hi, it's me: an overthinker with raging anxiety 😅
I often end up 'lurking' in fandoms I'm in (i.e. watch and enjoy content and creators, talk about them in my personal life but never leave comments or engage) - simply because I have too much anxiety over my thoughts being taken the wrong way or being judged for commenting on a video a week/ weeks after it was posted.
Super silly anxieties, I know! Doesn't mean they're not there 🤭
I couldn't imagine how it feels as a creator, and I thank you for your wonderful videos! They truly truly bring joy to my life ❤
🌿🌿🌿🌿
Awesome WIP & Chat. So enjoy your content and transparency about life 🪴
🍀Thanks Katie! It took me a few days to finish and WIP along. So glad the house repairs went smoothly!
Nice Wip n chat. 🪴🌺 parenting is a big undertaking. Letting children know you are human is all part of growth for all of you. I cried lakes of tears raising my kids. I got lucky, they are awesome people and made lives of their own. I have 2 grandchildren now. I did the Mom thing twice.. whew!! Stay strong.
I'm enjoying working on 2 kits, one round one square, it's been fun going back and forth. I'm usually a one at a time project person 💜🎨👩🦳
You are sowing well into your relationships with your children by keeping short accounts and apologizing for missteps. By doing this you are building a strong foundation toward the future when they will look at you as someone who is in their corner no matter what. Did this with my kids who are now in their thirties and they recount the positive effects of this practice on their mental health.
🪴 Thank you for the WIP and Chat Katie I enjoyed listening to your stories while I Diamond Painted a Bees are Life Diamond Painting
Having your space functional is SO important! I know I regress into more and more moodiness if things just feel wrong or dysfunctional! 🌵
My husband and I are trekkies too. We're older and love the original the most. Years ago, we went to a Star Trek Convention in Scranton PA and saw Leonard Nimoy (Spock). He was so funny 😅, which I hadn't expected. He told a story about how they never expected Star Trek to become as popular as it did and he still had his phone number in the phone book...he talked about how fans would call the number and ask to talk to him and be shocked when he answered the phone. The convention, overall , was great. I highly recommend and hope you get to go. Btw...Jonathon Frakes is from my hometown, Bethlehem, PA. His parents still live here and he graduated from my same high school. He is well liked and respected around here. Great guy. I have never had the pleasure of meeting him myself, but hope you get the opportunity. My son is special needs level3 autism with seizures, so I understand not being able to just get any babysitter and not being able to pick up and go when you want to.
Glad you finally got your kitchen done. Love the new WIP. Can't wait to see it done. Have a great week, Katie!
❤ I love the saying: The Famous words out of Babes❤
🌻🌻🌻 Love 💕 your Whip n Chats. I’m going to find Adam’s unboxing. How fun! 😂
💐🌼So glad your kitchen projects is finished and went so well.
I’m so glad you finally got that kitchen redone! And you have seriously encouraged me to not buy anything else but work through my stash. It’s so hard to not buy because certain artists are just must haves for me and I’m trying to just put them in the wish list and leave them. I’m looking at four large shelves completely crammed full of paintings and it is at the overwhelming state now! I’m trying to work on more than one at a time but it’s hard for me as my body is rebelling so much. I hate getting old 🫤
the overwhelming state now! I’m also attempting to do more than one at a time but it’s hard because as my
I only recently discovered Lisette. My first watch was her detox reveals. I have been wish listing more kits. Most kits restock so this gives me a chance to sit with it for a while (and possibly decide against). I didn’t buy anything Saturday but sent 3 to the wishlist. Also, that video about the negative comment made my heart hurt. People are just not careful with their words, not understanding that tone of voice doesn’t translate. 🌻
Hi Adam!!!😂 Katie I love your WIP and chats! So glad you got your kitchen back! ❤,🪴
🌸🌷🌿 Thanks Katie! I am working on my first Jaded Gem Shop painting “A Mermaids Bath” by Toshia San. I was a bit nervous to actually start a JGS canvas because I was worried it was going to be over rated…nope! Her canvases and drills are even better in person than what I’ve seen or heard on CZcams (which has always been good). I know you’re a fan so I wanted to let you know, really good experience. Katie you are so inspirational to me. Your videos have lifted me up in times that were really hard and I appreciate how honest and open you are about experiences Diamond painting but also about life in general. Looking forward to more videos this week!
Oh...one more thing I forgot to mention...I was laughing at your kids thinking being born in the 1980s was old (that's when I graduated). My daughter was born in 2003, so she never knew anything before the 2000s. When she was in 4th grade, I was driving past her future middle school and said "look honey, that is going to the next school you go to. Mommy when there too when I was your age". Her eyes got real big and she said "mom...that means that school was around in the 1900s. That's really old ". 😂😂😂 any year with a 19 in front of it is ancient to her. It both makes me laugh and want to cry LOL.
Katie, Any chance you might make a video that explains and shows how you single place with your multi placer? You make it look so very easy
I love listening to you while I work on my diamond paintings. 🪴🌻
Love your videos. Obsessed with the new album. I love them all but the black dog, the alchemy, imgonnagrtyouback, and who’s afraid of little old me are my favorites.
Thanks for the chat. I use putty too, when I load the multiplacer I use the scissors to cut off the excess putty.
I always enjoy your WIP n chats! 🌷
Love ur videos so glad y'all got y'all's kitchen fixed 🌹
I love your WIP z& Chats. I am going to try to multi place when I finish my current project. I’m working on a multicolor rose that my husband bought for me. Not particularly ny style, but he’s my hubs. Can’t wait for Old Masters. 🌾
Hi Katie x 💐 Thank You for the wip and chat. I love your pen I do like seeing all the different ones available and get pen envy lol. I'm glad you have your kitchen back and I hope you are making plenty of yummy food in there. I completely understand not wanting to discuss too much about the boys with us. It's strange as when I hear about your family often, I feel I know them and over the years I've enjoyed listening about there personalities ect. I've felt sad when they are having off days or ill. I promise I'm not a mad woman from the UK. I just wish sometime I could send them or you a hug x Thanks again Katie. X Ellie x
Aww, no that’s so sweet of you Ellie! I always look forward to the kind comments you write! 💛
I’m knitting a temperature blanket for my oldest big brother and while I’m knitting I binge watch criminal minds and I also started my second diamond art club diamond painting it’s Harry Potter vs you know who 😊I hope you are having a great week 😊
🍀🌺💐 I always look forwards to your wip & chats! I'm also planning on hoping to get "It's Okay to be Different" kitted up today and *hopefully* completed by the end of the month! ❤
I was born in the 1980s too! Oh wow, we are old!! 😂🪴
🪴 Katie, so happy to hear your kitchen is finally complete. It’s so frustrating trying to get contractors to help.
so cute this dragon
I graduated from high school in 1988. So my son is a big fan of 80's music which he calls "vintage". 😐 I almost had a heart attack. lol 🌸🌺🌻🌻
That painting is so cute. I bought my first DAC painting. OMG it's huge. I will never get it done. Thanks Katie lol
🌵🌷🌼I always look forward to Mondays WIP and chats! Looking forward to next weeks chat. Have a great week and enjoy your kitchen!❤️
I also watched Lisette talk about buying things that we know we will do. But I still bought 2 very large Dakota Daetwiler paintings that are going to take forever. 😂
I’m a Taylor fan too. I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, Down Bad, and The Black Dog are my current favorites but it changes every day. 🌻🌻🌻
❤❤ great wip and chat🪴 ❤❤
🌵just found your channel. Love the WIP and chats 🌵
Ive been worlong on Life Is What You Bake It enjoying it
I love your tips !! There is one Diamond Art kit I’m hoping to purchase soon a that speaks to my heart. The piece is Respire . I two of my three kids had cystic fibrosis and that piece so resonates with me . I think of them as when I look at that piece .
Hi Katie!! I'm currently taking another break from Christmas Eve at the Workshop by Dakota Daetwiler and working on Happy Snoopy from DAC. Hope you have a great week! 😊💜🪴
First let me say congrats on the kitchen!!! And kudos for teaching the children when to apologize. Thats definitely something of value thats needed in todays world.
I did a kit that had that aged parchment look. It was Marine to Life by DAC. It was on the border as well and is a very beautiful effect.
I have a few of the Randa's Crafty Corner putty too and I do love the smell and how it handles. I want to try the DAC but I dont like floral smells that much so I will probably get the unscented. I hope they come out with more scents as well.
I can relate to overthinking something. I am guilty. My mother tells me that I will analyze something to death! Sometimes she says just let it go Quinell. LOL!!! I honestly cant help it. Sometimes that is the only way I can make something make sense to me. And anxiety!!! Yeah its thru the roof sometimes. I completely get it. I still hate the fact that you feel the need to apologize for certain things sometimes. You are so sweet. I cant imagine anyone misunderstanding you.
As far as your Autism diagnosis. I will email you. I do have a question but you absolutely dont have to answer if you dont want to. Thats why I will email you the question.
I always enjoy your wip and chats and I was working on Everest for the Dakotathon today. I also worked on the HAED SAL as well. I love to cross stitch as well. I dont crochet or knit as much these days but they are still part of my hobbies too.
🪴
Thank you for the WIP and chat, Katie! I'm so glad you got your kitchen back! That's so exciting, I'm so happy for you!
I am very much the same with my kids, I always apologized when I was wrong and expected them to do the same. I believe you are a better person when you can admit your mistakes and apologize for them.
Hope you have a great week!
🪴🪴I always have the “I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday everyday” stuck in my head. One of the most upbeat songs is one of the saddest. Which I guess really plays into the context. I do find myself wanting to listen to Fortnight over and over. I really love the way her and Post Malone’s voices sound together!
🌺🌷🪷🌸💮🏵️🪻🌻🌼🌹I love your WIP and chats 🌹🌼🌻🪻🏵️💮🌸🪷🌷🌺 at the moment I'm working on my very first Mystery Kit. It's the Jeremiah Ketner one from DAC and i LOVE it 🥰 the vibe and the colors just makes me in a good mood.
I'm looking very much forward to here about your journey to get your diagnose - I was diagnosed with borderline myself about 15 years ago, but the whole process to that diagnose and the way my life has been since then, have made me wonder if I was misdiagnosed back then. I've made my peace with it and learned to live with the fact that I have to be more aware of my mental health than most and at some point i believe it makes me better to recognise mental difficulties in other too. I wonder if you feel the same?
Hi Katie and Adam I’m doing good just getting my diamond painting’s done I have 2 wips I’m still working on Harbor Side Carolers square kit and a discontinued kit from DAC called Flora by Sarah Moustafa that I had both bought for my birthday along with 9 other kits 😂 flora is a Round kit
Hey Katie! Glad you have your kitchen back in shape! I love your relationship with your children despite their special needs. Looking towards the next WIP and chat where you may do the autism acceptance kit. Love your videos and keep up the good work 🪴🪴
I feel your offense for the “born in the 1980s” jab. 🤣
I’m so happy for you to have your kitchen back. Physical disorganization and clutter is a huge anxiety trigger for me so I completely understand.
Have a fantastic week. 🪴
Happy Monday! Yay on the completion of your kitchen. I bet you are so relieved. I have been listening to the TTPD as well. I need to listen a couple more times too, I am really enjoying it though. I'm so glad the lyrics are now available though, it helps me. Have a great week!! Can't wait to see your next video. 🪴
🍀 Speaking of watching new things, I decided to give Supernatural a go out of curiosity. Me: Nah, it's a bit too cheesy for me, I don't like how they just wander into stranger's homes without knowing if they're home or not, and I can't see me watching more than Season 1. Also me: Season 4, let's GOOOOO! I'm also going to have to use 'driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake-hole' at some point 😂
I love listening to you and watch you when I am doing my projects! 🌿🌿🌿🌾🌾🌾
I feel your anxiety, people can be mean. I used to be a big people person, lately I've become more reclusive. People are truly getting very sensitive as well and feel that their personal feelings matter more then anyone else's.... Please remember, This is YOUR channel, to create content, to share yourself... You will not be everyone's cup of hot coffee girl, But that's ok cause you drink COLD BREW ANYWAYS!!!! They got a problem they need to check themselves and get over it. You are great!
Loved this W.I.P Chat, supporting Lisette ❤️ glad the kitchen sorted... 😀
Good for you for being so transparent about autism! I applaud you, Katie! I’m working on Flower Buns by Yuumei and loving it! 🪻🪴🫚
My Better Help therapist and I finally had the discussion about me possibly having adhd. I need to make the phone call to my pcp but I'm scared to call🌷
Can you please share a little on where you set up to diamond paint, lighting etc. Do you use a light pad at all? Ty
Have Adam choose the kit to unbox. Now I have to look upnthat video.
🍀🪴🌼🌸 like your wip and chats.
I am glad you finally got your kitchen finished. I think you should have Adam do a unboxing of any kit he wants. I liked the last. I don't think the being born in the 80s is a good insult. I was born in 1980. I don't think 43 is that old. I hope you and your family are doing well. I am working on the painting easter dragon from diamond art club by Randal Spangler.

🌻💐🌺 I was born in 1967! Ancient! I love that you apologize to your kids. I never had children, so I practice humility with my dogs. They seem to understand. I look forward to hearing about your autism journey next week. How has having that diagnosis helped you? What was the process like? What prompted you to think you might have it? Have an awesome week!
I think it would have been okay to hold a Dragon event and explain that you were inspired by the Year of the Dragon. I don’t think it would be cultural appropriation done that way. Most of the streaming sites have commercial free anime, and if you want something chill I suggest Studio Ghibli. I’m waiting for the second season of My Happy Marriage to pop up on Netflix. The kids 80’s comment made me smile. I remember when “30 Something” was on and I’d think Dear Gawd these old people have issues and ewww with them and their sexytime. 😂😂😂 Perspective and its workings are mind boggling. I’m glad your home is back to your liking. I think neuro-spicy people need our homes to feel/be “right” because its our refuge from the “everything” else. Anywho, love the cover minder and thanks for the Wip & chat. 🪴🪻🌾

Just an FYI: The huge Vegas ST con is August 1 - 4th.

Hey Katie! Love your channel! May I ask about the part autism has played in your life with social relationships and cues? You seem to be so socially aware of yourself and my daughter, who is also autistic, struggles with that. I know everyone has their own challenges and the condition won’t be the same for every person with the diagnosis. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. 😊
Hi Katy, can you recommend a good book for adults about self-identifying? And how to be in relationships with hubby or kiddos?
Currently working on Spirits for Dakotathon, halfway through. I love the bracelet you are wearing! Where did you find it???? Have a great week! 🌸
Thank you! It’s a Zox bracelet 🥰 zox.la
🪴🌾 I normally save your wip and chats for my monday evening listening while I diamond paint, but I needed a distraction from work this Monday. So two things. 1. Taylor question: I'm too old to really be a fan but I like what I hear. It keep seeing videos and posts about easter eggs that are in her videos and posts, and there was even a QR code put on the side of a building downtown (Chicago) that I guess brought people who scanned it to something taylor related. So, do you think these are her ideas or does she have amazing people, or both? 2. Autism questions. What, as an adult, prompted you to get tested and what is the test like? I struggle with something but Gen X kids were sort of left to their own devices so curious as to the prompt as an adult. Secondly, I don't ever remember hearing about autism when I was younger, and I've heard conspiracies about how it's caused by vaccines, etc. What are your thoughts on why it seems more...prevalent now? Did we just get better at looking at the brain? Thanks Katie! Have a good week.
Glad I could be a work distraction! I’ll respond to your autism questions in next week’s video ☺️ But as far as your Taylor question goes, I think that a lot of it is her but that she also surrounds herself with a fantastic team of people. She loves leaning into Easter eggs and mysteries for fans to decode, and I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the ideas are from her directly!
Hello. I would like to know where your tray is from. Drills line up nicely. Have never seen them line up like that.
Hi there! It’s from the shop Munimade. Their trays sell out super quickly when they restock, but you can sign up for the customs list and Twitter notifications for when she does restocks! munimade.com

🌿🌼💜
While I do understand your hesitation to run an event, there is a difference between cultural appropriation and appreciation and with your mindset, I am certain that appreciation is how you would handle it. ❤
Please bring adam in for another video he is a great addition! Also i was working on flower market girl by hannah lynn from DAC while watching/listening to todays wip and chat! Do this canvas for diamond county spring fling hosted by november :). Im personally looking forward to hearing about you going about your autism diagnosis and your neurodivergent journey. I am currently nervous and anxious because i have no idea where to even start. Thank you for your wip and chat as always its nice to see what you are working on and whats happening in your life. It always makes me feel like im catching up with a close friend. 🪻🌸🪷

Love the kiddo playground trash talk. “You were born in the 80’s” great burn. 🔥🪴🎋
Yay kitchen! I agree about being intentional about your stash and being inspired by Lisette. It's not realistic/the right choice for me to completely stop buying, but I have pared down my stash a bit and have managed to only pick up two so far this year, and both with points. I'm tempted by some restocks, but have stayed strong for now, especially resisting those giant kits (they're just getting bigger and bigger!). My stash is still sitting at 5 years at my current pace, which is just not realistic. 🪴
Thanks for keeping me company as always! And I"m glad you got your kitchen back. Yay! I hope you enjoy it. 🪴🪴🪴
I love and relate to that coverminder 🪴💕
🪴thanks Katie🙋♀️🤗😘
I would love to be more of a minimalist and have less stuff.
🪴… 💜💚🩷
I am the President of the over thinkers club! Hahaha! I hope your Nurtec gets approved soon. I started taking it last year and it's a fantastic med. Only issue is you have to take it RIGHT when you feel the migraine coming on, which for me is sometimes tricky. 🪴🌻
