About/Contact

CraftyPod is made by me, Sister Diane — aka Diane Gilleland. I’ve made things my whole life, and would gladly give up most household chores for an afternoon of serious crafting.

When I’m not crafting, I do a lot of other things:

• I run a tiny independent publishing company called CraftyPod Publishing. I publish my own work, and sometimes, work by other crafters.

• I write ebooks about blogging, marketing, and social media for crafters.

• I’ve written one craft book, and one crafty ebook.

• I teach a variety of online classes to help crafty entrepreneurs use blogging and social media for more effective marketing. People seem to like them.

• I also do one on one consultations for craft bloggers who want their blogs to bring them more business opportunities – like mine has for me.

• I occasionally write about crafts for print and online publications like CRAFT, MAKE, and CraftStylish.

• My work has appeared in a number of other people’s craft books, including Bead Simple, Button It Up, Applique Your Way, Knitting for Good, and The Handmade Marketplace.

Thanks for stopping by and listening in!
