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.

  1. Tammy, you always manage to find interesting things to post about. So many great finds in this post. Thanks for sharing.

    I’m just dropping by to say “hi” and see what you’ve been up to lately. I hope all’s well with you.

    My big news: I recently gave birth to a baby girl, and I’m so excited! I’m hoping there will be lots of new baby crochet patterns in my future.

    Now I’m off to check out Connie’s new chart that you posted about; I’m a huge fan of her work.

    Take care,
    Amy

  2. That is so wonderful, Amy. I am so, so happy for you! Thanks for stopping by. It sounds like you have the perfect reason to get lots of crocheting in!
