Hello there! I'm Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

CraftyPod is made by me, Diane Gilleland. I’ve been in this space since 2005, and in that time, I’ve made a great deal of stuff, all having something to do with crafts: tutorials, podcasts, ebooks, print books, videos, and online classes.

I’ve never met a craft I didn’t love – though it should be said, I have only an uneasy détente with knitting. At the moment, I’m deep into plastic canvas and English Paper Piecing, but I’ll try any craft once. You’ll see a wide range of them around here.

In addition to being a crafter, I’m a writer, editor, producer, teacher, and a pretty good public speaker. (I’m quite bad at doing nothing at all, but that’s another story.)
