Tammy Powley’s Crafty Weblog

Silty Powley 1994 – 2010

| 11 Comments

Silty left us quietly last night after being one of my best girl friends for the past 16 years. She taught me a lot about being fearless and sure about yourself.

The word “no” and the phrase “you shouldn’t do that” were not part of her vocabulary.

She enjoyed simple pleasures like warming herself in a sunny window and sitting on my lap weekend mornings while I ate breakfast and attempted to read the paper as she stole a bite of my breakfast.

She also taught me about going after what you want in life. My husband found her one day walking around the offices of an engineering company he was working for in Riveria Beach, Florida. She was only a few months old and had been living in the industrial yard behind the building. There were automatic doors from the yard into the offices and labs because of the heavy equipment they would have to move in and out, and she just walked through those doors one day in search of a new home. At the time, we had a huge menagerie and had just lost an 18 year old cat. I thought we just couldn’t find room in our home or hearts for another furry creature, but he brought her home, and we all fell in love with each other immediately.

I know she had a good life and was well cared for and loved, but we will miss her.

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.
