Do you like to “make stuff”? I’m guessing the answer is yes since you are reading this blog 😉 So you will also be interested in a wonderful offer from Black Dog Publishing to Crafty Princess Diaries’ readers. It includes 50% off two new crafting books that tell you how to, well, you know, make stuff! This offer is good until August 31, 2009. Read on to find out a little about both books and how to take advantage of this great deal.


First there is Making Stuff: An Alternative Craft Book edited by Ziggy Hanaor and Victoria Woodcock:

“Making Stuff simultaneously rejects and embraces traditionally old-fashioned activities like knitting, embroidery, crochet and felting. Whilst these skills remain the same the results have a modern edge: an eclectic mix of the useful, the hip, the beautiful and the downright weird. A section at the beginning lays out the basic skills you need to make something out of nothing: knitting, sewing, crochet, felting and appliqué. Over 50 ideas are then laid out with clear illustrations guiding you every step of the way.”

The next book including making stuff again, but this time, the focus is on children under 10, Making Stuff for Kids edited by Victoria Woodcock:

“Well-loved favourites, like piñatas, potato printing and kaleidoscopes are explained and illustrated, as well as felted puppets, wacky worms and nautical mobiles. Alongside these is a chapter of ideas that adults can make for their little ones — this includes bibs, booties, hats, toy boxes and a whole selection of Halloween costumes.”

How to Get Your 50% Discount:

1) Email Jessica Atkins at jess@blackdogonline.com
2) Include your delivery address in the email.
3) Put “The Crafty Princess Diaries Offer” in your subject line.

Remember the offer is good until the end of this month, August 31, 2009.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
