I will be adding new items to  the shop soon as well! 2013! 

Frankie Magazine!

I am so excited to be featured in a little blurb in this month's Frankie Magazine! 

Frankie is one of my favorite magazines, so its such an honor to be included (also two of the interviews in this month's issue are with Twiggy and Molly Ringwald! What!)

Here is my little feature:

They are also doing a giveaway of 3 of my Cat Carry-All Pouches! I'm not sure if its available for international shipping, but you should probably go for it anyway!

So many exclamation points of excitement!

Monday

 Some recent antique mall finds. Pennants that need to go up, and earrings that need to be remade. Also my crazy catch-all dresser. I just really like to look at all my stuff, guys!

 Mostly clean nightstand. Also Gravity's Rainbow isn't there to show off, because I am never ever going to finish it. Ever. 

Breakfast nook vintage paper placemats and Mayor McCheese ornament.

I am also really into playing with my new camera by showing off the like, five neat places in our apartment, if you couldn't tell.

Today I have been working on multiple projects in my studio, as you can see by my desk. Got some new stuff on the way for the Etsy shop! I am also making Christmas cards and sewing pom-poms on to a sweater, while listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson's Star Talks. I can't believe I never listened to them before! I highly recommend the one interviewing LeVar Burton and Brent Spiner a.k.a. Geordi and Data. Its a little more uplifting than the usual Joni Mitchell I listen to while working.

Cookies

I love Christmas. I love it so much I usually set myself up for some holiday disappointment. But not this year! I think last year lacked some serious Christmas craft time, so this year I have already got the homemade Christmas cards rolling and today I made sugar cookies! 

They're all woodland creatures and vegan! I used this recipe that I originally found through My Paper Crane. The dough was the easiest I have ever worked with! Every time I have attempted that moose previous to this has ended pretty sadly. These guys will eventually be presents, but I might have to eat- I mean, test this first batch before I can send them on their way.

 I have also Christmas-ed the apartment!

Cyber Monday!

To celebrate Cyber Monday Fill it with Diamonds is offering a 15% discount when you use the code LETSCYBER

I also just added cat and rabbit X-mas tree ornaments!

Fall 2012 Fill it with Diamonds Look Book

I know it's been a while since I updated this blog, but I have been working on some new things. The other day the lovely Christine Young of Young Frankk Jewelry assisted me in shooting a look book for all of my new pieces, as well as new photos of older ones.

Independence

Happy Independence Day!

This is the only fireworks shot my camera managed to capture before I realized I wasn't actually looking at the fireworks we waited two hours to see.

Money Cat$ and Meta Cats

I recently did an Etsy shop update, and there are new cat pouch/bag colors to be had!

There are also these guys! Cat change purses a.k.a. Money Cat$

I like the mom and baby cats together.

I've also been experimenting with clear vinyl and glitter/confetti. (Note the cat inside a cat a.k.a. Meta Cat.)

Studio Redux

Redoing my studio so I can actually be creative in it, instead of just pushing piles of trash around then going to the kitchen for a cookie.

Here are some Instagram sneak peaks! 

There are also new cat pouch colors on the way!

Maymont

Yesterday Jonathan and I went to Maymont Park here in Richmond to take pictures of new items for the Etsy shop and also so I could look at the bunnies. . .

The weather was so perfect! Richmond weather is so confused, before Spring even started we were having crazy hot days, and now it has mellowed out and realized what month is it.

  New pouches are a black cat carry-all (with a gold printed face) and a ombre dyed geode bag. You can purchase them here and here !

I also made J take pictures of me in some vines:

Sweater- Cheap Monday 

Fungi Crop Top- Leah Goren 

 Skirt- Need Supply Co. 

Boots- Jefferey Campbell 

Necklace- Young Frankk Jewelry

Cat Clutch- Fill it with Diamonds

And here is a cute bunny that lives in Maymont drinking water:

Apartment Scenes and Some News

Plants in the windows with a Captain Kangaroo cup.

A cross stitch of Robert E. Lee I have been working on forever. I just really got out of the groove, but I think I'm back! I hope to have him finished soon, even though I really like the way he looks unfinished. I'm sure I'll be okay with him completed, because I will be so proud!

Sabo Kappa stickers. I'm a little obsessed with cacti/stickers/San-X/Japan right now (and always).

Bedroom.

And here is a little sneak peak of a project I am working on:

Soon I am going to hand color these guys and they will become bags! There is also another one in the works that is even more exciting so get ready.
