My first week of summer vacation has been great! I’ve gotten a good chunk of writing work done, and I’m having a blast with my hairy crew.
We are hunting for lizards.

Here...lizard, lizard. I want to be your friend.
We are taking lots of trips out to the backyard, especially in the morning before it gets too hot.

Rocky likes to take a walk in between naps.
We are doing lots of relaxing and snuggling.

Two Calicos can fit in one paper box lid.

Lola looks great with my beads in the background.

This is one cozy spot!

Coco likes to keep an eye one me while I'm writing on my computer.

Jasper smiles for the camera.
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.
