DIAMOND PAINTING PROGRESS

                     Here is my progress on my Lighthouse Diamond Painting so far....
I have a few small areas still left to fill as yet, across the mid-and bottom sections....

I began this 35c x 45c picture on September 1st.
*******************************************************
The back story to my beginning this new craft adventure, is that I have always wanted to learn counted cross stitch; but I just cannot see well enough (or seemingly COUNT 
well enough !) to do it--I have a few messed up pieces stashed away that prove my point...

AND, so...while I was
surfing through Youtube,
looking (well, drooling over lol) cross stitchery that many are doing, and wishing I
could do it too......

I  came across  Stitcherista's channel-- where she does cross stitch--- 
and what was this?
something called diamond painting--what is this, I asked?? 

Lovely pictures that when finished are all sparkle-ey and
look like cross stitch or mosaic pieces...be still my 💓....

And so my journey began....
I am so enjoying this craft --maybe because I used to love to do
paint by number as a child...it is similar...and 
you have to work S L O W L Y to place
all the little diamond bits correctly...which I find very relaxing...

I will frame this canvas when it is finished--oh--and I have a few more
waiting in the wings--ya think?
