Crafty Weekend Links

| 0 comments

My hubby has been busy in the kitchen again this weekend. I so envy his cooking ability! We are still getting bi-weekly shipments of organic produce, so this means we have to really plan. This requires cooking and freezing a lot of it. However, this has really helped me keep away from processed food. I especially love the quiches he makes, which I keep asking for every week.

Okay enough about me, me, me, onto this week’s crafting links!

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.
