I’m Di and I’m the editor for Simply Homemade. I’m responsible for the content of the magazine and I have the fabulous job of deciding what to feature in each issue. I ‘m also the administrator for our Facebook page so please stop by and say hi.
I’m a self-confessed craftaholic and admirer of all things handmade. Nothing gets thrown away in our house and I hoard everything in the belief that it will come in useful one day! I don’t have a favourite craft, I just enjoy making. I’m addicted to patterned paper, fat quarters, ribbons and buttons and my idea of bliss would be spending an entire week in my craftroom just because.
