STARRY STARRY NIGHT

                            MY LATEST DIAMOND PAINTING EFFORT..

And  I just finished:
WINTER ROSES:

I love how it turned out; but......

it was a difficult piece as the little drills kept wanting
to pop off...

and I've been re-- situating them and using my rolling pin to 
push them back into place...(not good)...;(((

I am going to have to seal this one..before framing...
and I am researching the best sealer glue to use...

As I am still a neophyte in diamond painting, I guess "live and learn"
is my motto...

I have noticed that the little round drills (using on Starry Starry Night) 
are MUCH easier to place and seem to have more sparkle to them...and
they are staying put very well....I am thinking that the Winter Roses canvas
didn't have enough or the right kind of glue on it...and am wondering how you
can tell...i won't be ordering from that company again until I know....ya think??

***************************************************
Terri's Butterfly is coming along....sort of.........

Now to find the ensuing round--nothing seems to "go with" the style and type of 
fabrics in this so far...;((( [sigh]

and I don't have even a smidgen of that peach flowery one...{big sigh}

And no other peach-ey fabrics on my shelves seem to fit... (too many sighs)

I wanted to pick up that round's color somehow...

Well, I still have to dive into the boxes and bags on my upper shelves...just
maybe I'll find something.....wish me luck...;**)))

I am using just my stash, not buying new fabric...so this may just have to be on hold
for a bit...

Warmer temps today--in the mid 40's here--so all the snow melted overnight...
Rains on the way....this evening and tomorrow....more grayness....

On a much happier note.....♬♬ 
I came across a "String-along" on LORI'S  (click to see her blog)
 today..for 2019...
I am definitely going to do this.  I am not really good at doing "--alongs" of
any type,,,but this kind of sewing is right up my alley..;}}}💃😄

Have a wonderful weekend peeps💖...I'll be watching the Patriots on Sunday 
(we have buffalo wings and coleslaw planned --an impromptu picnic so to
speak)...and a 
LOT OF "BOXED" STASH SEARCHING....ooff-dah.....

HUGS,
