Here is the necklace I made using the beads I purchased yesterday at my LBS. I am very happy with how it turned out, and a full tutorial is in the works.
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.

Beautiful!!! I’d love to learn to crochet jewelry. I tried crocheting wire earrings but it was rather a disaster! Have you done any of that?

Hi Amy – Yes, I’ve crocheted with thin wire, but it was a little tough on my hands, so I prefer to use fiber now. Plus, admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of wire crochet jewelry. Some I like. A lot I don’t.
