Just in case anyone is wondering what happened to me, I've been crafting for 16 hours a day to have enough of an inventory for an upcoming craft faire at a local shop in Bakersfield called Enchanted Cottage on October 25th. I have been focusing on diamond painting. I have a small, but nice selection of rainbow themed diamond paintings. The tree doesn't have a frame yet, so I have to buy one. I also have several more that I will have to make.

I've also been making Halloween diamond paintings. I have some 8x10 framed, 5x7 non framed and I will try to make as many 16x20 Halloween diamond paintings as I can with the amount of time I have left. No pictures yet, but I'll show them as I make them.

I have been working on these diamond paintings all day every day since April of this year and I haven't taken a break. My back is in pain and my eyes hurt lol. But I want to have some nice new things to bring to the craft faire.

Oh and I also have a lot of summer themed diamond paintings I made during the summer months. These are in my Etsy shop. https://gaynerd.etsy.com/listing/4354452425

I finished Wheat Field by Vincent Van Gogh which is a Make Market diamond painting from Michaels Stores. This took me 10 days. The actual time was 49 hours and 51 minutes.

I made this diamond painting more than a month ago, and I finally got a frame for it today.

I thought I had posted this picture of this Sunflower Bouquet diamond painting by Make Market from Michaels craft stores with the frame attached to it. Well, here it is. This lives in Idaho now, but I have another one that I'm going to make for myself eventually. This is at Michaels craft stores for $29.99 and it is an 18 inch x 24 inch Diamond painting. All of the make Market Diamond paintings that I have made so far have been exquisite and I love them so much that I can't stop buying them.

I have created a listing in my Etsy shop for my 5 completed summer diamond paintings. I still have 6 more to come.

I have been diamond painting for the last 4 months and have made 17 diamond paintings, and I always have 2 works in progress. I work on a smaller one in the living room from morning until 5pm, and a larger one in the bedroom from 5 until midnight. This is my latest larger project from Make Market at Michael's craft store. This one is called Lake Forest.

I feel pretty confident in my work to add smaller and maybe larger diamond paintings to my Etsy shop. I'm working to make all of the summer ones and then I'll work on the rainbow ones and show them when I'm ready to list them.

I haven't been posting much because I haven't had any new products in my Etsy Shop. I have been doing a lot of crafts, more specifically, I've been making Diamond paintings. I have some Diamond paintings that I will be putting in my Etsy Shop when they are completed. It's going to take a while, but I'm working hard to get them made everyday so that I can add them to my Etsy shop eventually.

I just wanted to give an update on where I've been and what I've been doing.

I have been working on this diamond painting since June 19, 2025, and I finished making it last night. I saw that someone is selling this with a frame on Etsy, but I won't be doing that. This is for me. I am however starting to make smaller diamond paintings to sell in my Etsy shop, and I will post them as I make them and add them to my shop. I love this new craft. 🌻

I just finished making this "Rainbow Surfboards" diamond painting from Michaels Stores by Make Market. I love the frame. I wish all of the diamond paintings I have come with these frames. My craft studio is going to be nicely decorated. I literally have nothing interesting on my walls lol. https://www.michaels.com/product/10767169
