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.

  16. Would love to win this! My god daughter is an 11 yo beginning knitter. While she’s ready to branch out from garter stitch scaves, she’s not quite ready to tackle full sized clothing patterns. This book would be an excellent Summer Vacation gift and one that we can share as I help her learn to knit garments, but on a smaller size scale so she is inspired to aspire to larger garment knitting.
