About Me
Welcome to my Crafty Princess Diaries, weblog where I get to blab about my passion for crafts. 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.
In the real world, I work as an Associate Professor of English. Mainly I teach writing and literature classes. However, for many years, I have also worked as a professional crafter. For about the first eight years, I sold my jewelry through show circuits in central and south Florida as well as small galleries and boutiques. Today, I sell my artwork primarily through special commissions and concentrate more on writing and consulting.
Along with this weblog, I write and maintain the About.com Jewelry Making site, and I have a number of jewelry making books published.
I also sell totes, craft bags, purses, organizational items, and much more through my Thirty-One Gift shop. If you are interested in hosting a virtual party and earning free merchandise, contact me at tammypowley [a] yahoo dot com.
For crafting tutorials, kits, and supplies, stop by the Crafty Princess Etsy Shop.

Hi Tammy,
Are you the Tammy Powley who wrote a dissertation entitled “Memory-Craft: The Role of Domestic Technology in Women’s Journals”? I’m a librarian in California and am trying to track down a copy.
Many thanks!

Hi Patricia,
I’ve passed your request onto some jewelry folks I know. Some other sources might be to check Etsy.com and http://www.jewelrythings.com/, which has a lot of vintage components.
Hi Tammy,
I am a new jewelry designer. It is my passion in life. I enjoy reading your blogs about jewelry and designers. Will you please consider writing about me?
Best regards,
Cindalena
Cindalena - I’m guessing you found a blog I used to write called the Jewelry Weblog; however, I no longer work for Creative Weblogging who runs it. You may want to contact the latest editor over there.
